A serious thread - Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd!!!

Lesley
That is very kind of you and much appreciated.

I watched part of the game at my husbands golf club last night, as we went up there for a meal, surrounded by Spurs supporters who were less than complimentary!

I just cheered, supped my wine and waved my Arsenal wrist band at them!!

Yes Lesley I thoroughly agree with Pat.

Your generosity is much appreciated and because of it I have decided not to open up a new thread dedicated to our magnificent victory.

In truth, I think you are very fortunate that Sky + stopped when it did because I thought Tottenham were dreadful towards the end of the second half and extra time. They appeared to be exhausted and I found this quite surprising.

I wonder whether there is something wrong with your Sky + set up because it should automatically record to the end of a programme even if it is running late. As I recollect this is one of the benefits Sky list in their advertising blurbs.

I went to bed early last night so i didn't hear the results, don't see hubby in the mornings so i am now really scared!!!!
He is going to be very unhappy, i am not going to phone him today.
And i asked him to come home early as i am going to see the sound of music tonight!!!

HELP EVERYONE TAKE COVER

Enjoy the Sound of Music.

You could always leave hubby a copy of 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' to listen to while you are out

Indeed, Michael... but ONLY IF

1. The user has padding set to AUTOMATIC, and hasn't stretched it to prevent this sort of thing from happening

AND

2. The broadcaster bothers to update the EPG on a live basis.

Now, most people leave 1. alone; but only the BBC (and, I think Channel 5) bother with no. 2 for all programmes. Sky One does it occassionally; but the nature of that channel means that it doesn't happen very often. Certainly, ITV don't bother with it. I've lost count of how many times The Bill starts at 7.57 and a bit and the default Sky+ behaviour is to start recording at 7.58. I rarely lose a lot, but it is very annoying.

I would have to defer to hubby about all that, I know he's set it to start a bit earlier but that's all.

It's flippin' annoying tho' finding the last few minutes of a programme missing cos it's started slightly late
