i love this html editor bit♥

oh rosie! i forgot to say! *kicks self* a history of scotland is back for a second series, it started on sunday and should be iplayer-able until next sunday, when episode two shall be on.

neil's hair is looking spiffy, and i caught sight of my awful, straggly mess and almost wept.

these things are wasted on boys...

No way! Thats brilliant news Hitch thanks * rushes to check iplayer*


Awww don't worry...no one's hair compares to Neil Oliver. It is washed in sea spray, then blown dry atop a cliff.

glad to be the bearer of good news.

indeed. i remember september weekends in blackpool aren't quite the same...

Arrghh bad broadband trouble so I havent been able to watch it yet. it even took ages to post this morning. ( Luckily iplayer says its available til 13th Dec ).


Enjoyed the meccano episode but didnt like James standing under his suspended car  

boo to computer troubles.

not seen meccano yet... still got time on iplayer for that too.

did just watch the flashforward episode i had v+ed... the cutest guy on the show died.

Who was the cutest guy? Haven't watched Flash Forward, but hear its good.


Heh heh another wonderfully non - pc episode of TG.
Though the Sandero incident looked extremely staged *coff*

yet another awaiting iplayering i'm afraid.. i think there was umpteen things on tv this sunday. i believe i was watching twilight to see what all the fuss was about. lol plus, can't do the picture-of-favourite-vampire-tagged-with-'real vampires don't sparkle' thing (mine would be barnabas collins )
without seeing how bad sparkling vampires are.

the cutest guy was agent al gough. he had a flashforward that a woman he had injured in a car accident had died of her injuries leaving her two sons orphaned.. so he jumped off a roof so it could never happen.
 incidentally, if they pull a 'course correction' á la lost... and this woman dies anyway... i'm flying to america to give these writers a slap.

hehe definitely staged.

did love the cardboard toilet part.

Thought the racing under the Romanian Palace was amazing. It was like something from a Bond movie.

did look cool. what a lovely country to allow that.

by the way... neil oliver did a bit for children in need up here (also had fred mccauley, sanjeev singh kohli and chick young), can't see it on youtube yet.

scotland had some fun bits. tony from corrie singing, he was really good.

Lucky you 


Hmmm... TG seemed a bit staged again - eg the guy in the audience with the shellsuit top and tache. Maybe its always been like that + I'm just slow noticing. Good show though.

i must be slow too, because that did seem like abit of a coincidence.

History of Scotland started tonight. Neil Oliver back on tv - all is well with the world.

Hmmmmm...

i think this sunday was the second episode, at least i watched one the week before. it this on normal bbc and not just bbc scotland then?

reminds me i need to watch the latest one still.

ah well, t'is informative and interesting.

Yep its on ordinary BBC 2 - it was the first episode last night. All about The Covenanters + religious hoo hah.

I think Neil Oliver is a brilliant presenter - even with my eyes closed  - he really brings the events to life.

ah ok...

in scotland it's on bbc1 of a sunday, clashes with tg, but that's why they invented iplayer. *nods*

second episode is about bonnie prince charlie's dad.

Hello Didnt know this thread was here...I spend too much time in the BB forum

Hi MrMeatAndPotatoPie, ooh thats bad for your health .  


Welcome along *I would wave but my smiles are playing up, can only get half of them to work*

Oh good Hitch, Bonnie Price Charlie ( or his dad anyway ), that'll be interesting. Bit of a character, I remember you telling me about him.

i think i may have mentioned he's a numpty. lol

sunday nights was good about slavery and the tobacco lords. plus i saw an ad for the one this sunday (probably two/three weeks for you)... rosie... there will be knees. lol

Neil Oliver knees? Oooh i say *fans self*

shall have the smelling salts to hand!

Yes please Hitch. WIll he be in a kilt? Or trousers rolled up? I'm all a-quiver eeeeeeeeeek

hehe that's for me to know and you to find out.

GAH! Rub it in why don't you...


ODDS:
Kilt 50/1
shorts 40/1
trousers rolled up 8/1

hhmmmm *strokes chin at your odds selections*

Had a sherlock moment.... you only mentioned "knees" - as opposed to legs. From this I deduce only the knees are exposed, indicating a kilt accompanied by long socks. AHa!

lol there is shin...

*wonders how before she caves and tells you which option*

So its not a kilt? Go on, tell. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease.

*zips up mouth like zippy*

Sits sadly with pleading puppy dog eyes... *sniff*

so.. james' crash.. what a lark.

Awwwww you is so mean Hitch  

*looks glum*

me mean? so sad.

i did laugh when the piano fell on the morris... that mean?

Mean for NOT revealing this mystery garment showing Neil Oliver's knees. Now I have to suffer a whole week til I find out. Aaarghh is it a kilt? a bathrobe? Tell me pleeease!


Last night's episode was incredibly sad... poor Charles, if only .. ( Though I'm sure I saw another documentary where he wasn't portrayed in such a flattering light ? )

ah... mostly he's considered a numpty... lol
