    Mike - I downloaded the programme via iPlayer yesterday and it says I can still watch it for 5 days - I think it might be 6 days' availability from date of download. Anyway - I recommended it to friends, some of whom watched it and were extremely moved. I think that one programme was worth the licence fee alone, quite honestly.


    Keep smiling!

    Ohh thanks for that, my mam was telling about the show, said she was in tears, then I come on here and find out it was osmeone off here!!

    Merry Widow - pm me your email address and I will send you a copy of the show that won't go off after 5 days. Will have to do it on Sunday when at college as still not connected at home, AND, it seems NTL cut BT's cable when they originally put their stuff in(alledgedly). What a bunch! (alledgedly)

    Mike - Don't know whether I told you this. There was a book written by a guy called Dr Tim Cantopher called something like 'Depression - illness of the strong'. He treated Marcus Trescothick. Its a really good upbeat read and basically says it is strong people who get depression because they have already managed to cope with loads more crap than the average person.

    Been off the forums for a bit for various reasons, but did get to see the show (quite surprised I ended up with a speaking part though).

    Had a spare hour to kill so I've converted & uploaded it for those that want to download it.
    It is a 460MB download, so those afflicted with an ISP that doesn't know the true meaning of the word "unlimited" may want to think twice before downloading.

    You can get it >HERE<

    PS
    To the well wishers (you know who you are)....many thanks.

    If you missed it on iplayer, you can get it from KillerWatt's link above - isn't he a superstar!

    Any-one aware of the troll thread, where we post the troll message on every page so it's there for all to see as easily as possible...?

    Think we might need to do the same with KillerWatt's link for a wee while now DIYSOS isn't available on iplayer.

    There is a slight chance, Miggz, that due to Vodka/Toilet-Duck consumption (don't tell) that I have confused you with someone else. If so, I apologise. But hey - I'm still doing better - sharing the smiles once again with everyone these days... ;-)

    Hi Ruth! 'Tis indeed me, and what's more, 'tis you too. :D Nice to have you back in circulation and especially to hear things have started to improve. :)
    Yes, I remember you from a while back but not so sure about the vodka & toilet duck - was I too far gone or have I missed something good? Anyway, now you're here, I can offer sloe gin or er... well, I can't see any toilet duck - will fabric conditioner do? And there are some dishwasher tablets if you're feeling a bit peckish.
    I disappeared off the anti-troll boards, not for lack of enthusiasm but I was a bit overwhelmed with my mum's health problems. She's now safely tucked up in hospital and here I am again. :)

    P.S. Actually, I couldn't be sure you haven't mixed me up with someone else. This is me and I remember you, but am I who you are thinking of?
    We'll probably never know.

    uh oh.. phase 2? Is that a case of sending round Mikes Mob to kneecap him? lol xx

    We did wonder wether we should have a Flash Mob outside his house for the duration of the DIY SOS Big Build filming

    Think it was on the old thread :D

    I have always wanted to do a flash mob and now my mind is on overdrive mixing flash mobs with Candid Camera stunts. Can you imagine the fun we could have if we all followed Paul 'scumbag' Bridle around in a line (a la Candid Camera), then hung outside anywhere he was touting for business with placards saying what a cheat he is then we could all burst into a song/dance.

    It's all very clever in my head!
