It's in re runs right now on a new channel we have that only shows really old TV shows, it's called Antenna TV. I watched an episode on evening, flashbacks to my youth :lol:

She lost her job in the factory.
If you go to youtube and watch you can catch up, But the title isn't Corrie or Coronation street. So it doesn't get removed. Shhh
http://www.youtube.com/user/NeverSurrender6 Newest at the top so scroll way down and it's all dated, and it stops for you to change to the next video when the commercials would normally play, not plonk in the middle of the show.

Thanks, I'll check that out.:)

Here's a quick re-cap put behind "curtains" just in case you opt to run through the you tube videos and don't want me spoiling them:


As an aside, Canada is now pretty much up to date with us (10 days behind - they really can't come any further forward) and are back to 30 minute episodes every night.

Thanks Curleytops. I had a look at the spoiler. All is well with the world now that Eileen is in charge of the cab office again.

Conversation this morning:

OH - Did you watch Downton Abbey last night?

Me - No. I watched George Gently and I'll watch Downton tonight.

OH - There's footy on tonight!

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Send him down to the pub to watch it :lol:

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

I wonder if you can watch them online. Not that I don't have enough stuff recorded already.:)

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Brilliant idea! :lol:

HOUSTON - Problem solved

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Hello Ifi
After I had been back home for 6 months I had slowly got liking Corrie, and Emerdale, and Eastenders, now Im hooked on em all :) and me and Mum watch them together every night now,
But there are still a few programs on freeview that I like to watch but She does not, so my solution was to buy a nice new flat screen TV for the kitchen, I got an antenna put in the Loft, with the antenna wire connecting to the TV in Kitchen, So all the channels we get on the big TV in the living room we get on the smaller kitchen TV with also a perfect picture ----- perfect, so if theres something I want to watch and Mum dont, then I just retreat to the Kitchen :) also nice to be able to watch the News while Im cooking dinner ----- or watching the Lorraine show while eating my Porridge in morning ;)

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Good to hear from you. Great minds think alike. We put a wee TV in the kitchen too, and like you, I like having it on when I am cooking, doing dishes etc. I even do my ironing in there too. The dilemma would be that OH would probably want to watch the footy on the larger screen in the living room and I like my creature comforts whilst enjoying a show such as Downton, so would also want to watch Downton in the LR. Therefore, I had a moment of panic, but all is resolved as he can either do as you suggest and watch the footy in the kitchen or he can go down the pub as Curleytops suggested. I might even give him some beer money from the housekeeping:lol:

Tonight the mobile chippy comes to the village so we will be "forced" to have fish and chips for dinner. My waistline is not going to be happy with this new Tuesday night tradition.:)

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Little confusion here. The kitchen in my home in the UK is comparable to the family room in the US. Anyway I envision you sitting up on the sink watching TV.:lol:
Now you have me thinking of getting another TV for a bedroom were it would be more comfortable to watch. I have a big screen in a loft but there is nothing comfortable for me to sit on. Besides I can't watch TV for very long as it is.
Cheers

Mobile chippy???? Wow that sounds great, I wonder if they have one in the village we are looking to move :huh: it would certainly ease my separation anxiety when it comes time to leave the old Sandgate chippy behind in Kent

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Yes, isn't it great. I think it is a fairly new venture. He is based in Kelso and visits all the surrounding villages on different evenings. He seems to be well supported by the locals in our village. We also have a fish van that comes around, but I have yet to see it. Like a lot of other villages we also have a mobile library and I think it would be better for my waistline if I spent more time at the library and less time at the chippy.:lol:

Can't wait to hear how you get on with the property you are looking at.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Yes, we have a mobile chippy too - also on Tuesday nights. I can't bring myself to go though as I need to lose some weight, not add more :lol:

I've seen the mobile chippy vans parked up in a few villages we've visited on our travels.

curleytops, I'm also keen to hear about the house. We're seeing another one tomorrow - this one really is out in the country. Although it's only a few miles from a town, when you're there, it's just you and the sheep. Seems fast internet may be on its way to the village so we decided to take a look at this house. Hope I don't fall in love and then have the Internet thing not happen.
