Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
You can all send your dodgy weather here 
I don't like a bright sunny day as it hurts my eyes.
So as I say - send all your dull overcast / rainy days my way

I still had to talk to an operator but at least he spoke and understood English. Couple of reboots and we now have glorious HD channels. Nothing there that couldn't have been done on-line through myvirgin account though.
I'm also happy that it has a number display so I can set a channel for remote viewing without putting the main TV on.
Now I just need to tie in the RF modulator to the DVD recorder output SCART (outputs composite video of cable feed when DVD is off) and set it to the same channel the old Samsung box was outputting (52) and the new installation is complete.

It wasn't 'John' then...
Presumably you'll be offering heavily discounted installations to CF folks on your friends list...

Actually I think it was Jock. 
Fitted the modulator this morning, set to 52 and all the other TVs now get the VM box output (SD while the box is on an HD channel) as well as the DVD HDD recorder output. Job done.

Well at least I have an installation that works so I can advise.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Morning life insurance call from some random company.
Are you interested in life insurance sir?
Nope, no point.
Why not sir we offer a wide range of cover
Because the zombie apocalypse is upon us all and your cover won't help the undead.
........
...............
Click. Brrrrr
Well it's made my day anyway

Excellent.
Reminds me of when I moved into this place, the previous owner had died, though not in the house I hasten to add. So I was getting cold calling for her:
Hello, can I talk to Mrs XYZ?
No, she's dead. (Stunned silence)
Well can I talk to you?
No. Goodbye.
Brrrrrr....

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
My little ole sister has got me a ticket to see "Russell Howard's Good News"
She has signed up to Applause Store and they sent out tickets, all free but you have to get there yourself.
She's got me to see, Argumental, and QI, and now we are waiting for Top Gear (about 6 years so far)
