    A wife's needs (How I got Sky)

    I'd always sworn I'd never give in to the the parasites at Sky and get their devils spawn TV.
    Anyhoo, my wife has to have an op on her feet and will be house-bound for two weeks and barely mobile for a further four.
    She thought it would be nice to have Sky movies while she's stuck at home.
    So, what's a loving husband to do at the start of the Superbike and F1 season?

    Bloody smart bugger.......... But what happens after?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    You discover there's actually just as much crap on Sky as on the other channels, and that renting the DVDs you want it cheaper, then you cancel the "Devil's Spawn TV" and go back to yer average rubbish.

    Well, that's what we did anyway.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    We're locked in for a year. At least we'll have good reception on poverty TV.

    The reception was a big selling point for us for the pleb channels. We just get movies on top of that. Discovery/National Geo/History channels are excellent. There's always something to watch.

    I think that DVD Unlimited scheme is plenty good for movies, Sky has a shit line up 90% of the time. However there are plenty of Woman type channels, like Martha!

    I can get in touch with my feminine side then.
    Any aerobics or yoga shows? Lingerie shows? (He says wishfully)

    Make sure you get the Rialto channel. You'll find the best movies there. None of this hollywood crap.

    I bet this is the most exciting year of F1 ever....because I won't be watching.All those years of watching incredably boring races,hoping that this week maybe something might happen.But my wife is even less likely to subscribe to Sky than me.

    It's worth it just for all the BBC comedy you get on UKTV. I don't know about Yoga or owt like that and unfortunately we don't get Aerobics OZ-style here (a half dozen aerobics instructors in lycra bouncing around outside Sydney landmarks)....damn shame.

    Anyway, a speedy recovery to Mrs Lou
