Speaking of televisions, our Freeview box plays up every time a motorcycle goes past. Like most things, I can deal with this little imperfection of life by ranting about this to my friendlings or anyone who is prepared to nodd in the correct places. However on one occasion when I vented my opinions, somehow I ended up insulting the French.
So I heard that the reason we get a dodgy Freeview picture is due to the weak signal from Bluebell Hill. It cannot be boosted as it would interfere with French T.V. "...Darn French" I joked, however the person I was speaking with happened to unfortunately have a French wife (When I say unfortunately-I mean the chances I would cross paths with someone in this circumstance, not that it was an unfortunate marriage) and so it had arisen they had an anual subscription to French Satellite T.V. In a futile attempt to lighten the mood, I asked "what do they broadcast, back-to-back episodes of 'Allo 'Allo?" This person hasn't spoken to me since.
My telly can only play DVD's and Wii games so for Christmas I would like an aerial lead. In fact, my Dad's already got one in the garage-I'm easily pleased.
Here's a fact for you-you know that fuzzy looking snow picture you get when you're tuning in your telly? You're witnessing CMB (Cosmic Microwave Radiation) and a few percent of that is the stuff produced at the Big Bang.
