You all need to be trapped on the sofa with a neonate THEN you watch whatever comes on at whatever time......!

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 22/02/2006 20:05

but juice - the Olympics is on at set times, pre-recorded programmes can be put on at any time.

Bomper · 22/02/2006 20:35

Is anybody actually interested in the Winter Olympics then?!

what time

LIZS · 23/02/2006 16:39

I know - 7.30 was quite feasible but 5.15 is impossible. Hopefully it is just this week that it gets shunted around. Wouldn't be so bad if it were repeated, but not found it yet.

LIZS · 23/02/2006 16:40

sorry it was 4 pm today !

ROFL custardo

I could murder a suet pudding, chips, peas and gravy... hold the roquet, easy on the dijon....

Bomper · 23/02/2006 17:17

I am sooooooo pissed off!!! Missed it again today, thought I was being all clever getting ready to video it at 5.15 and it was on a ruddy 4!!! 4 o'clock is a ridiculous time to put it on, and it's 4 again tomorrow - so be warned!!

comes to something when I have to go three days without a dinner to watch

it wasn't great tonight - no outstanding competitors

also, why do they put them in the commercial kitchen when they hardly ever seem to take the results of that into account?

zippitippitoes · 23/02/2006 17:34

I've thought that about the commercial kitchen, I think it's to wear them out before they cook their meal later

I think their judging is pretty poor and inconsistent but I am strangely drawn to watching, but I cringe every time they use the word passionate especially the really cold fish ones

I so wish I hadn't seen this thread as I now realise I've missed the bloody thing tonight. And I thought it had been shunted into 2 programmes tomorrow night.

Usually I have to watch Thursdays on an English BBC2 channel as we in Scotland get this gaelic rubbish that about 3 people can understand and all decent programmes are wiped out the way for it. Even Olympics!

So spent ages dotting around the channels at 5 trying to put on a reminder - now I've bloody missed it!

What was the person like who won, did they deserve it or was it like when awful Jenny won and they were all useless?!
