Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I bet you were expecting something else
I did go on to watch Dr Who (needed to catch up) and some other stuff from sky but the Eddie thing was on while I was setting it all up.
edit - I was surprised at how much better the picture was compared to my old set.
My old one was a cheapo (at the time) £350 one from asda and was about 4 years old.
My dad got me a Toshiba one from Argos that was £200.
Both are 32inch but the new one is much better.
My old one didn't even have freeview built in.

Yes, in August, 5 weeks after the wedding.
Staying at Gisborough Hall so off and about the Pennines & North York Moors...
Can't wait, boyhood dream to drive one of these ever since watching The Prisoner!

Well, maybe cool shades! Waiting to hear if she can drive it as well, as she's only had a UK licence for 7 months...
