unknown terrirtory

Well - my first post to a blog. Despite working with computers all day in the branch library and working my way through year 11 computers at a night class last year, as well as having just updated my personal computer at home - I've managed to avoid almost all things like blogs, facebook, myspace etc lol. I am an avid user of skype (1 child in Canada for 2 years, 1 at Campbelltown and the 3rd in Canberra) meant that unless I used skype my phone bills would be awfully expensive. I have managed to cut my quarterly landline/mobile combination accounts by $100 per bill. I had a brief experience with myspace when a cousin posted photos of her 6 month work stint in Canada on myspace. I was able to capture her photos and print them off for my 88 year old mother in law.
I watched Stephen Fry with interest, but because I had just watched a whole dvd of 'A little bit of Fry & Laurie' I found it hard to concentrate on the more serious nature of his chat. I kept looking for the underlying humour and not finding it. As Stephen said it's fantastic to be able recapture lost episodes of tv shows and fill in the gaps. It's amazing how we remember all these years later missing out on a particular part of a show. We missed out on a lot of shows because we had only the abc and one local channel. We read the tv show guides and really wanted to watch some of the shows we saw advertised in the Sydney region.

that's it for now
bye

Hi yeah, I know how you feel! When it comes to old tv shows DVDs are a life saver. I now even prefer to buy the DVDs rather than watch them on TV because I tend to miss it so often and have to catch up on what is going on in the plot line. Which I find rather frustrating. Anyhow, good luck in your blogging!

I agree with your comment about taking Mr Fry seriously. And while on that topic, I love 'A little bit of Fry and Laurie' but I hate House. Hmmmm.

I also love "Fry and Laurie" - I can almost recite (very badly) some of their skits, I have watched them so often. Some favourites are the nursing home man and his cocoa, the hardware shop, the poetry discussion... so funny. Have you also seen them in the adaptation of PG Wodehouse's "Jeeves and Wooster" - hilarious!
