  • @thoughtmecca Sorry, sir… was afk. Did the issue resolve itself, or did someone else help you out? in reply to thoughtmecca #
  • @RedMummy Hah! I'm not SO bad at doing it. It's a kind of alchemy! The issue wasn't ability, it was the perfect balance of the setup before! in reply to RedMummy #
  • @CathyCarter My problem with TV tech is how erratic the industry standard compatibility seems to be. You aren't daft for inability to deal! in reply to CathyCarter #
  • In case anybody was concerned about our TV drama, think it's all sorted now. Now tempted to offload VCR – setup already bizarre… #
  • TV does better digital than DVR we got short months ago, but can't record, so we have peculiar double-barreled digital setup… #
  • …1 for recording, other for best. Also, key function of HD TV seems to be showing broadcast shows/DVDs up with crispness. #
  • At least Scorcese didn't let us down – we watched Goodfellas tonight – Girl One's 1st time – & it looked GREAT on new TV. #
  • @RedMummy Hated it. HATED it! Actually, didn't mind it, but could have spent my second-last day of holiday doing something more productive. in reply to RedMummy #
  • Setting up TV with other equipment would have been MUCH easier had I had a robot that could objectively decide when image was optimum… #
  • …Girl One, predictably, didn't really care once it got above "aerial on top of telly" quality. GIRLS! They JUST don't UNDERSTAND! #
  • @davidwynne It's not about HD – have managed without so far & only got the new TV because old TV was dying – but I am a bitch about pixels. in reply to davidwynne #
  • @davidwynne …I don't need things to be crisp but I can do without flicker. If I'm watching H'oaks, or a panel show, I don't need clear… in reply to davidwynne #
  • …But if something's made with quality in mind the least I can do is pay it sufficient homage. HD is irrelevant in this regard, but static? #
  • …Or those shitty market-stall pirate copies of movies? I find them almost insulting. #
  • @RedMummy Whoops! But having said that, I think it's fair that I was generalising appropriately – unless you count yourself as rule… in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy …When we both know you're exceptional! ;) in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy Girl One bought it. There was inheritance money that was specifically given with the intention of us spending it on a new TV… in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy …She also bought a car and car stereo and did some wedding shopping stuff midweek. A LOT of this week has been running around… in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy …servicing these purchases. in reply to RedMummy #
  • …I must say, it's a TERRIBLY sexist assumption that the TV purchase was ENTIRELY driven by the MAN in this relationship… ;) #
  • @thatswedishgirl If we'd all realised that the request was to jump naked through hoops, we'd have moonwalked across hot coals to do it! in reply to thatswedishgirl #
  • @warrenellis My 1st instinct on reading that was to praise coincidence that we watched Goodfellas tonight, which prominently features Quinn, in reply to warrenellis #
  • @warrenellis …But then remembered that the movie has era-evoking music throughout, so no real coincidence there. Still, great movie. in reply to warrenellis #
  • @davidwynne God, you know, sometimes you're so easy! in reply to davidwynne #
  • @thatswedishgirl … Y'know, I struggle to picture both of these performances with anyone except Snoopy-Dancing Xander doing them! in reply to thatswedishgirl #
  • @thatswedishgirl Hah! Officially? My goodness! But yes, I'm afraid so… :( in reply to thatswedishgirl #
  • @thatswedishgirl …I knew Buffy dipped in & out of the zeitgeist, but I've never known it to be a sackable offense! ;) in reply to thatswedishgirl #
  • @belle_lulu Hah! (IS all I can muster by way of wit, at this time of night…) in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @belle_lulu I have NOTHING… sorry. I suspect somebody has spiked my tea. in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @thatswedishgirl I'm ALWAYS learning, me! in reply to thatswedishgirl #
  • @idsharman You're putting the band back together! in reply to idsharman #
  • @idsharman Enjoying it? in reply to idsharman #
  • @idsharman It's fairly slim on jokes, but the music is phenomenal. in reply to idsharman #
