It was really annoying but I think on the whole Wales deserved the win. And we had our luck... ball hitting the post. 

OOh Neil Oliver is on at 6pm here... him + Yosemite = a good watch

hehe enjoy.

I did enjoy that . But oh my, Neil doesn't like heights does he?

TG was good too - the chinese bit was quite short, perhaps unsurprisingly. The chinese don't like criticism much.

no wonder! heights are scary! *nods*

haven't seen tg yet, got home from work and thought "today is monday... why is that important?". it means I have a tg on iplayer to see later, yay.

TG is something to savour . I thought this week's episode was much better than last's. And the Fiat Panda makes an appearance - briefly. What a cute looking wee car 

Fiat Panda next week! I read the wee choices pages of the Radio Times, and the first line of the tg bit was about Pandas and James. I may be a squee-ing mess after that.

 I bet. 

Is it in the paper Radio Times? I only read the online one, being a cheapskate  They have an A-Z of TG at the moment. I didn't know that there was a different guy in series one, who was replaced by JM. Good call!

paper yes. i like my radio times... even if they've put the price up another 20p.

i couldn't imagine anyone other than James. *the horror*

TG wouldn't work without JM!

By the way I have a new telly crush. Gus Casely-Hayford who does the BBC4 series "Lost Kingdoms of Africa". Its a fascinating programme, although I find it hard to concentrate on what he's saying at times 

totally! he had me in stitches for this week's news.

ooh! I shall have to check him out then. Weirdly the double barrelled name sounds promising, like Martin Hughes-Games.

The concentration thing can be handy at times. Whenever SB picks up a 'lovely' *rolls eyes* bug, you tend to find me all "concentrate on Steve.... concentrate on Steve...".

He got 18 months for robbing a pensionner 4 years ago.

Whaaaaa? Velvet He's a cultural historian 

  [ Fans Hitch with Radio Times ].

Aww I can't catch watch the second episode of Last Explorers. Its supposed to be on iplayer series catch up but it isn't 

I know.

I was doing a 36 for passport fraud at the same time though.

Sorry rosie  

You've still got James  

Velvet I still fancy him even if he's been in the nick  

makes him... umm... interesting Rosie?

Sure does Hitch  

*bakes a cake in the shape of Neil Oliver to cheer Rosie up*

 Cheered up already! 

Success!

You should see what they dismissed in court  

Personally...I'd have hung the bastard.

Good agent though - ain't we all..

 I'm surprised he's back working in such a high profile series Velvet 

Pity as its such an interesting history series, and I want to learn about it.

 Oh Well. One less for my presenters-I'd-like-to-be-washed-up-on-a-desert-island-with list.

 Oh Well. One less for my presenters-I'd-like-to-be-washed-up-on-a-desert-island-with list.

It was starting to get a bit crowded. *ducks and hides*

Its my island and I'll have as much totty on it as I like! 

fair enough.

I need an island...

One with a big perimeter fence so they can't escape. 

Sounds vaguely evil... yet practical... I like it!

Thank you  

JM could devise a shelter for the island. Steve Backshall with his muscles could build it. Chris Packham could advise on the flora and fauna. Neil Oliver, umm.. not sure what he could do... stand looking moodily out to sea? 

Sounds ideal.I imagine Steve would try to compete with Chris over animals and it would be "No, no, that's ok... you just get back to building up a swea... the shelter. I'll supervise." *nods*

How about a couple of the Horrible Histories guys for entertainment? Ben could be  pirate, Mat would be Dick Turpin and Jim could sing stuff.

Yay! love it

Can't forget the entertainment stuffs  

thought. who will cook?

Good question. Who are the seccsy chefs?

Ray Mears is good at foraging and cooking wild food 

You know... I can't think of any...

Maybe James Strawbridge? He's ok looking, but has a tendency to  put manky ingredients (like nuts/cream) in recipes that don't call for them.

Good suggestion , but what if he sprouts a ridiculous moustache like his dad ? I've a soft spot for The Hairy Bikers. Plus we could do with a couple of burly blokes on the island. 

However this island is a democracy so we get to vote 

[ Gets out massive conch shell, lights fire ] 

We could decree a moustache ban? Except of course in the bikers' case.

I was just about to fall asleep last night when I remembered Jun Tanaka, if we ever feel like some Asian cuisine.

*scurries away from conche shell and fire* What's wrong with paper and pen?

(i haven't got my specs on, so have no idea what this post looks like. Well obviously, I can... just... typing with keyboard near my face. )

Asian cuisine  

Paper and pen right you are! I prefer drawing in the sand with a spear myself 

you have a spear?

would a stick not suffice?

Aww but Neil Oliver looks the part with a spear  please lemme have spears!

Pretty soft desert island this is... we'll be having comfy sofas next  

Will you be watching the rugby Hitch? I don't know if I can bear to... 

Ok, ok... the Neil argument is valid... you may have your spears. I hope Neil can fish with them, cause seems that Steve is hopeless fishing.

I shall be. I saw the earlier game... England were jammy. and tomorrow Scotland will be schooled in rugby by the Welsh.
