Interesting fact number three hundred and forty two.

'Er indoors and I share our nighttime activities on a bed from the original branch of this chain, before it was called Helibeds and when it was in Swindon.

In those days, you could order by 3pm for delivery the same day.

We watched them load our bed onto the van, then followed it home.

Great service.

But I'm sure Nick prefers his missus on top anyway! Laughing

And there was me thinking I could only enjoy the HELIBEDS ads in the Meridian region.

Now I find they're all over the place.

What's that name again?

The announcer at the end of The Paul O Grady Show said that Celebrity Love Island is at 9pm tonight.
I've looked at the listings for tonight and it is on at 10pm instead!

See now this is where Dilwyn is needed back again, to chip in and correct the network announcer at each junction.

"Well in fact you can enjoy Tonight with Trevor McDonald at the special time of 12.35am"

Mind you I notice HTV was opted out of the Bad Girls ECP at the end of Emmerdale [which was thoughtful].

Thoughtful indeed, but surely they could've plonked something there detailing what is on HTV tonight rather than leave it blank.
It does seem very strange NOT having an annoucement over the end credits now!

Well I think that sounds suspiciously like effort to me. Have we ever seen a Wales-only ECP?

Mind you I don't think anyone who's watched HTV some time during the last fortnight will be unaware of the programme at 9pm tonight.

Su has trailed it three times this evening so far -- not to mention the local news coverage [again].

To some of us it will always be HTV or HTV Wales, just like I expect you like Central to be known as Central not "ITV1 Carlton for Central England" Smile

It was much better IMO with no annoying announcer at the end of Emmerdale, I sat there expecting them to say something and not a word! Very Happy

Sue with an e if you dont mind!

Looking at next weeks TV Times and old school alert, Arfon Haines-Davies is back with the Urdd Eisteddfod on Sunday on HTV Wales. I know how much Wiggy enjoys these shows.

Oh well however you spell it, after all the weeks of build up her anno into it was boll ocks.

And from what [little] I caught, seemed Tom was letting the backing singers do a lot of the hard work -- like Elvis told him to that time in Vegas.

Also I see from some listings the pollen count has been put after the local news for two weeks now -- yet no sign. I am now certain Su Evans is holding it ransom.
