creeped me out. And Carpenter's They Live was amazing for other reasons.

Just looked at They Live. I was not impressed. But, never mind.

This was good, Dr Loomis is talking about Peter Hucker.

A bloke near me got his Bristol 411 *totally* re-painted to a very high
standard; it was a brilliant job they'd made of it. But it did cost him
10k.

Yup - that's more like it for a proper job. And remember few cars with
perfect bodies require a repaint. There will usually be damage of one sort
or another to be repaired first.

Yes, it can be a total horror story once you start chipping away!

True. It does show the difference between true car restorers and those who
merely pontificate about it in the pub.

They fixed them up to sell them on, pointless unless ALL of the costs
are included.

TV "producers" don't usually tend to bother with those details (don't
think they include maths in Media Studies degrees).

There have been many home renovation/house flipping programs on TV in
recent years that all followed the same approach ("took 2 years to do up
instead of the promised/planned 2 months? who cares about the extra
£5k in council tax payments during that time...")

Don't you have the ability to record so you can watch after it's
started and skip the ads? I haven't watched a single ad since the
VCR was invented.

I do not plan ahead to watch and record entertainment for the
brainless masses as you do, Birdbrain.
There is more going on in my busy life than watching silly
television. There is little going on in your waste of oxygen
existence. Do the nation a favour - kill your stupid self.

Chavs turn on the telly and watch whatever's on. More intelligent
people pick the programs they want in advance, then watch them when
they have spare time.

People who are avid television watches may do this. I am not an avid goggle
box watcher. I have better things to do than sit there watching television.
It would appear that you have not.

Complete and utter lack of forward planning. Record a few things now
and then, so you can watch them when you like. Things you actually
want to watch. Channel flipping is what chavs and Americans do.

So, your idea of forward planning is watching television? Given your present
circumstances I guess that is the limit of your forward planning ability.

It's one thing I forward plan for. Simply scan through the TV guide
for things I like, and set the series to record. It can then sit on
the box for months until I have a chance to watch it.

Until I have a chance to watch it says the man who can't out of bed before
10am. Pathetic.

I have one, I entered a 13 mile cross country assault course on

Is that a life?
