Discovery Wings …..

….. should perhaps change its name.

Take a look at tonight’s schedule:

A very interesting programme about Underground trains.

Seriously though, Mark Williams makes me smile, but I think that Discovery Wings need to “sort themselves out”.

Spleen vented ttfn!

Discovery Wings has, at least in the USA, been renamed as the Military Channel. Now we get shows on tanks and naval stuff too.

.

which are repeated a gazillion times over and over…

Hey whalebone,

Gotta agree on Robbie Coltrane! – The guy is a dude!!
Which makes me want to take my own thread of topic…..

Heroes? (in no particular order – or would that be disorder?)

Robbie Coltrane
Jools Holland
Peter Cook & Dudley Moore
Spike Milligan
Douglas Adams
Arthur Smith (the comedian)
Paul Merton
Prof. Richard Dawkins
John Cleese, Michael Palin & all the other Pythons
Adam Hart-Davis
and all of the others that I know I’ve forgotten!

Won’t have any of Murdoch’s ‘pay for’ Sh1te in my house on principal (despite the avtar) but RC’s Planes and Automobiles I can reccommend.

( I have it on video )

He visits the birthplace of the Diesel engine and then dances to the music of a giant cathederal engine on container ship, covers 2 strokes with a chap who has a collection of the smokiest DKW motorbikes you have ever seen. Takes a look in the garage of a German fella who static rebuilds BMW 600’s from crash sites, takes a flight in an NF Meteor and toasts a marshmallow in the afterburner of an F100 Super Sabre.

Much more and all done in his inimitable style, well worth a look.

my feelings exactly, trains? I know they show repeats but this really does take the biscuit.
