Title: No telly Post by: pauld on Thursday, May 13, 2010, 18:59:04 For anyone in South/East Swindon or Wilts wondering why their telly's bust, it's not. The Oxford transmitter's been knocked out by a fire. The fire's out now but they've yet to even assess the damage, much less decide how long it will take to fix. So probably not any time soon, may be a few days apparently.

Except when the transmitter breaks, obviously.

Maybe the dinosaurs weren't so stupid...

Maybe the dinosaurs weren't so stupid... The dinosaurs were stupid. They never developed Pot Noodle or Emmerdale or digital watches. Humans could live for 100 million years, we just have to dodge that meteorite ;) Title: Re: No telly Post by: Nemo on Thursday, May 13, 2010, 20:17:20 Humans could live for 100 million years, we just have to dodge that meteorite ;) Fuck all chance of that now the stupid voters of Montgomeryshire have kicked out dear old Lembit!

If that happens ITV player and bbc Iplayer are streaming every world cup game live,not the same but better than nothing.

OK, read all about it, clearly Man U did actually kill him. Fergie may as well have pulled the ladder himself. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/336174.stm |
