The article just made me wish I had two kidneys so I could sell one and complete my photography wish list

I don't like these new security stamps which can't be recycled

We used to get it here on one of the many channels but it stopped a long time ago. It was a favourite!

I'm sure there are repeats on sky somewhere? they may be listed as "new" because they are new to that channel, a common form of disappointment to many

In Dubai. Because the broadcast prayer "ishaa" is at a slightly different time as the year went on, at certain times of the year you could watch a good murder/mystery for 55 mins say 1900 to 1955hrs then prayer time would be broadcast and if the next program was due to start you missed the end of whatever you had been watching as the next program had started.

Is that because you are in a different time zone?

The reason for cutting to adds at odd scenes is that most of the

Shows what idiots they are when they think that people will
sit and listen to adds at about 4x the program volume
That's what the mute button on the remote is for

And the kettle, snacks, toilet etc etc are in a different room from the telly, specifically for ad dodging

As an experiment I was going to flick through the channels with the remote and see how long I could go before I was forced to watch a program rather than ads

Except I've been ordered to clean the windows, just in case

I'll have to have a look at that channel Algi. We tend to record a lot of programs (thank goodness for sky+) simply because the program planners of all channels only have, apparently, one time slot available, 2100hrs, for "new" programs. I thought the extra volume of the ads was because the audio was not run through an equaliser. The tech guys will probably shoot me down for that

As regards Pentax ads, if you have a great product why not tell everyone?

I'd be delighted with that shot

Pentax doesn't seem to get any "accidental" advertising either. Just watch the news, how many Pentax do you see flashing away when a "celeb" is going into court etc. It will be a shame if PRIC camera division disappears.
In the TV series "Six Feet Under" I think one of the characters used an old Pentax film SLR, not a lot of use as product placement
