ahh these channels are great.

Mega machines or whatever its called is great, over the last week shows you how cranes have advanced, the potential baring straight bridge, the transatlantic tunnel etc.

great stuff.

Then we have the grand designs and relocation, relocation stuff, great again.

Then the mark evans programmes, a 'something' is born.

Now on tuesdays at 10 theres a race car thingymabobber on, dave walker at emerald is doing the mapping for the car as well.

great stuff.

I don't have sky. I have cable which I have hooked up and get every channel incl all the porn ones for free.

I have to say I am a flicker, music channels are th eworst, I flick up through them all then down through them all.
