you'll never guess what. My mums got me tickets for the theatre to see Hamlet, and then have a buffay dinner with the cast. It's not final yet, but it loks like I'm going. what's the problem you ask? It's on January the 18th! Damnit! What I basically need to know is, if you have NTL, what channels are in the same package as E4, (I need to know if I'm subscribed to it), and what number channel on NTL it will be, so that I can set up the video to record the episodes. Please, take pity on me and tell me what I need to know. Thank you! :)
I've waited so long and what happens?

Hi Toni....can you stand the wait?!! Only hours to go now - I'll be out tonight too - in fact EVERY Thursday night starting this week! So grateful for the repeats - even if I set the video it's highly probably that my other half would turn to a different Sky channel - forgetting what I'm taping - then I'd have to castrate him!!!!!
Btw - my U.S penpal was last week at the taping of Friends!!!!! I hate her!!! Apparently MP wasn't there and a lot of people were MAD! He was late getting back from a film shoot and they'll have to film his stuff seperately.
Vicky
Hey Vicky!!!
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Oh my poor child! why aren't you around??? I'm recording it tonite though! I founf the channel we've subscribed to the package, everything is ready! I just gotta hope the VCR works!!! :)
You and me both!!!:)
Now that's a little too far now isn't it? Remember, there's still a bed that expects sex... :) My dad has been accused of changing the channel many times! once he turned it and it recorded the Bill istead! I was so mad at him!!!!
So do I now!!!:)
<turns away for a minute> Oi! Matthew! I want a word with you! wants the meaning of you not being at the shooting! (curtains close) <~~~turns back okay I've sorted him out and he won't do it again :)
Just started going to Aerobics with my friends....!!
I'm even more grateful now for the Sunday repeat - I was using the computer last night (Fri) when I realised that it was 7.55pm - rushed downstairs to fling the videotape in the machine when I noticed it was actually 8.10pm!!! Why had I not noticed before how wrong my PC clock was!! AAAGGHH! I taped the rest anyway coz I couldn't stand to wait any longer, but I'll redo it all on Sunday night!
bed that
LOL !! I could always "get a man in" to do the job - or several and put them on a weekly rota! ;))
turned it
When things like that happen in the middle of what you are taping do you automatically pick up the remote and try and turn it back to the right channel - or is that just silly me?!

being at the
I should have guessed where he was really!! :)

ummm, okay, not somehting I wanted to know but okay... :)Sounds like a perfectly good idea mind :)
I wasn't in at the time.... and he should've known, but then me and my dad invented a new system, if there's tissue on the tv, leave the tv alone and go and watch it in the other room! :)
ummm, I'm sorry for hogging him, do you want him back in LA? :)

Very good idea!!
Nah - round my house will do! Btw, you're not having a huge detached house built in the Suffolk area are you?! I passed a place under construction on Friday and it's called "Chandler Lodge" - for some reason you sprang to mind!! There is also a pub in Norwich called Chandlers Place and it's sign is written in Friends style writing - haven't been in though - could be a whole shrine to MP!
Vicky
you!
awww! Hope you're all better now!
Well done for fixing the clock! You haven't seen 704 yet? AARRGGHH!!! hehe! Don't foget tonite! :)
hehe! Well it's a good system!
isn't it though! <~~~suddenly gets a terrible thought of how the tissue gets stuck on the TV...
I have to see it!!!! I'm not having a house built... But that would be so cool! I'd have my own little Chandler house! You'll be welcome to visit!

So how was it then?
Tennant
It was so cool!!! the acting was brilliant, and it was understandable! and I got a hug from the actor who played Hamlet!!!!!!! :)

Prince Hamlet thought Uncle a traitor,
For having it off with his mater.
Revenge Dad - or not?
That's the gist of the plot,
And he did, nine soliloquies later.Did Ophelia ask Hamlet to bed? Was Gertrude incestuously wed? Is anything certain? By the fall of the curtain, Almost everyone's certainly dead.
(Philip Franks "Short version of a long play")
Wow! Was he anyone we know? What was his name?

Byeeee. :)
Yes, she is. :)
Happy Birthday to you, and remember what your mum went through 17 years ago.
<SNIP>
You'll recall I didn't like "Hamlet", but "Twelth Night" is lovely.
Tennant

<~~~recalling she got her first... suiter, as it were...
You didn't like Hamlet? Good God! (I really gotta stop using Allahs name in vain...) Twelfth Night is fantastic! I studied it in Year ten, it's gotta be my favourite Shakespeare play. It was so funny!

That was 17� years ago. I said 17.
If you think about it, the guy didn't have any problems, so he started inventing them. If it was a storyline on Neighbours, everybody would be complaining about it.
Doesn't worry me.
Yeppity Beppity - turns out Shakespeare can write after all. :)
Tennant
ummm, I was actually thinking of something else... ugh! Don't think of my mum like that! I misunderstood what you said, I thought you meant when she was 17... 17 years ago... that poor woman... I was a BIG baby! :)
he did have problems, his dad died and his mum married his uncle. He was very depressed, and disturbed. He went mad he didn't make up his prob;ems
worries me! :)
He was high! he didn't write any of his own plays anyway... he could barely sign his name! :)

I'm glad you got it at last, Seran. :)
People (especially children) tend to be very self-centred about their birthdays, forgetting what the anniversary means to someone else. :)
Let's agree to disagree on this, since I'd rather discuss Friends.
Another subject best left on the shelf.
I know - all those plays were not written by Shakespeare, but by another man with the same name.
Tennant
me too!!!
Every birthday I always say thanx to my mum...
yeahj me too
I agree
oh haha... :)
