    Re: Just a quick whinge...

    [QUOTE=Lou;271554]I like that. Especially on 24 when it reminds me of significant plot developments which might've happened a few episodes ago, but are important to the current episode. /QUOTE]

    So what's the explanation then? Early onset dementia?

    Or are you just generally forgetful...

    Seriously, you need reminding of things that happened a few episodes ago?

Surely its not rocket science or..could it be an agreement between the channels so that viewers dont browse and find something more interesting at an advert break ?
    I have a sneaking suspicion this is deliberate...

    Oo, just thought of another thing.

    When they show you a 'what's coming up after the break' (thinking of funny video program, but used elsewhere) but then you watch until the next break and it's the same things 'coming up after the break' AGAIN.

    That's just a swiz. Coo chiz.

    Gosh, do tell.

    Does it come with a 'multiple read' facility as well?

    Yes............ the idea is you read all the posts first then quote the ones you want to

    I'm going to ask Franck if we can have a "Quote Every Post" button for each thread, just for Herr Shinkov. Then he just has to tick the ones he doesn't want to quote from. If there are any.

    Yup. at least 7 eventful days would have happened since I last sat down to watch that show. I suppose it would be different if all I'd been doing in the meantime was picking fluff from my bellybutton. But nah - too much other stuff getting me distracted from Mr Bauer's plight. I think it's kind of him to take the trouble to remind me.

    Ok, I will dance with you again.

    I'm not German, though; FAOD, I'm Russian. Comrage Shnikov, if you will.

    It sounds like it is a struggle for you. Perhaps if you asked nicely the program makers could send somebody round to remind you when to swtich the TV on...
