Shocked ROFLOL! Laughing

Why is this thread still rumbling on?

Well why should it not? There are some posts about TV channel codes on the CBeebies presentation thread as well; I asked one of the mods to move those posts across to here and they haven't been moved yet.

TV Fetish, take a look back at the post I made yesterday evening - the one with the TV channel test on it (list of clues) - please post a list of what YOU would call the said channels.


I won't if you don't mind as I have a life.

Can we just lock this ridiculous thread once and for all, TW hasn't got it into his thick head that this is a ridiculous idea, to the point the person who he suggested it to got a headache.

I can't work out whether you're calling me or Tumble Dryer the 'tedious person'. I consider the answer to be the latter.

Of course Rough 'n' Tumble is the tedious one. And as I say, I admire your incredible patience with him.

Well done. Just two I'd like to point out:

The UKTV lifestyle channel (US in my coding scheme) = UKTV Style.
The last one of all, "A channel run by Virgin which is available on Sky, it shows repeats of old quiz / game shows" (code VC) = Challenge TV, NOT FTN.

So seamus21514, I take it then you haven't used my channel codes to-date. Do you have any intention of using them? What do you think of them?

I do think this is a splendid idea -- up there with the metric clock.

Perhaps we should encode TV programmes as well -- N6 will be on at 9:16:66 on B2, with N312652Z AB and N445621A BC.

Makes perfect sense Laughing


i suspect tumble might just read the videoplus codes out loud

FIrst off, I think your as insane as
Aeverine Nieves, and I think that your code system is utter ****

Second off, I didn't seriously take the test, I took it as a joke. Obviously you can't detect that.

It's official, your insane! Seamus has just told you the CLEAREST way to sort it out, and you go back to your codes. Is this piss-taking or what?
