Richard Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I don't know what you mean by Sky+ -ing something. I hate tech"Ooops, word censored!"abble when I don't understand it. And I want a telly with proper buttons. I hate remote controls - you can never find them and by the time you've worked out what button to press the programme has already been going for ages and its not worth watching anymore. Grump.

fairy&cake Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Argh i agree! I went to watch something on the virgin recorded thing and had lost the remote, so sitting next to the box i found it, pressed enter..... then it asked me for my TV code which is 4 digits! THE BOX DOESN'T HAVE DIGITS..... SOOOO i had to spend ages looking for the remote. I think i threw it in the bin by accident [i know i did but hush!] i havent watched Tv for a while.

crazygal Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Thanks for the reminder but I'd decided we were going to have a no TV at all day today so I'll be recording it instead, I wonder if I have enough willpower not to peek?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It'll be good to follow this and see how the family get on choosing their coop, chickens etc. I'll probably forget to watch every week though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Nice to see how they were given a run through of all available chicken accommodation - not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Nice to see how they were given a run through of all available chicken accommodation - not! Agree I can just see that family with a lilac cube I loved the little girl solemnly saying that feeding and egg collecting was a huge responsibility for her.....bless Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Just watched it. That ark was a bit tatty....not at all predator proof, even the sleeping accommodation was open to the ground beneath the perches.......and chicken wire for goodness sake. Omlet want to get on to the programme and offer them a discounted Eglu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Dont think it was on in scotland = I looked through the credits (sky) before it came on and was nothing about chickens up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Susan, I watched it. BBC1 Scotland at 11am. The family's garden was perfect for a cube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oh no - I turned on the tv as it started and pressed the information button but nothing about chickens so switched it off!!- what a twit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It'll be good to follow this and see how the family get on choosing their coop, chickens etc. I'll probably forget to watch every week though We've got digital TV so have highlighted the programme on the choices menu for next week. Looks interesting. Also the article on the GM feed was interesting. Organic feed isn't GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishY Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I watched it and when they said they were getting five I thought oooh they must be getting a cube then but they didn't even look at one, such a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The chap's on Practical Poultry forum. They get this coop.... They're being filmed at Cotswold Chickens in Banbury on 15th March choosing their chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Thought it was good how they are picking average family. will be interesting to watch the rest. Pity no eglu/cube. Also other bits of programme were interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Also other bits of programme were interesting.Very much so for me. Hardwicke Hall and the cable Cars are a fourpenny bus ride from where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
