brand “new” tv, part ii
“new” tv is kinda working now
sorta kinda
there was no functioning remote, so there was no way to search for channels
a flick through revealed four or five channels, two of them with actual proper sound and not just white noise
those two are sky sports 2 & itv 2. so this weekend was x-factor weekend. probably last week’s stuff on repeat, not that it makes much difference if you didn’t watch it the first time
managed to get some actual tv by recommissioning an ancient vcr that has spent the past 6 years or so taking up space & showing incorrect time
no remote for that thing either, but you can (with difficulty) search for channels and such without one
yay!
unfortunately, a long long time ago, the makers of the vcr decided it would be real clever to include a feature that kills the thing if you don’t use it for 5 mins. you know, puts it to sleep, to save electricity and whatnot
not insurmountable in itself when you have a fancy remote & can remotely poke it back to life, from the relative comfort of your greenish, if aging, couch
but … well, at least we’re getting more exercise
dog catchers
definitely siggimuses favourite episode of avarijas brigade
dogcatchers
uploaded by dai-ai-ai. – see more comedy videos.
with this one coming a close second
notice now that they both contain (big time favourite) ussi-sussi & kids crying
(this stuff is even better after you’ve watched a dvd of this 10 times or so)

the stig revealed
on last night’s top gear, the stig finally revealed its face
clarkson cannot hide his excitement & asks (twice!!) ‘is it susan boyle?’ & then ‘ohhh, you’ve got a head! & ears!’
then after a few basic questions, comes, ‘before you put on the white suit & became famous, what was your real name?’
(hasn’t found the lap the stig did in the reasonable priced car last night, but some might say it disproves the revelation. will add video if found)
big balls
by far the best bit of the show
although the sweeper is also funny
& here’s a bit from the american version:
the saga of the viking women
or rather the saga of the viking women and their voyage to the waters of the great sea serpent
plot:
a group of lonely viking women build a ship and set off across the sea to locate their missing menfolk, only to fall into the clutches of the barbarians that also hold their men captive. there is a cameo appearance by the sea serpent
one of roger corman’s finest
enjoy!
