    Hey Tine stop telling them its me lol!!

    I'm Sherley, its Shirley really.... and they got my last name wrong! The film came out better than I expected because we were really struggling with the weather. It started raining and was really dark and gloomy. It had been raining for days and the garden is so waterlogged.

    Tine I cant believe you got up so early, you really look great! Nice to see what our fellow MSE'ers look like!

    Much better, Ruths personality really shone through tonight.

    A very good show over all.

    Martin, my only critisim is that you still spoke too fast....sorry...I appreciate you have only 22 mins to get everything in. As a fairly experienced MSE, I got all of it, but my OH and parents who don't know their left from right found it difficult to follow. Please please remember there are people like my parents who don't have the internet yet, and I feel we must reach out to those as well, they are probably the most in need (low incomes families etc), my father is off to the libary tomorrow to check out your website (he knows of you, I mention you all the time, "Martin doesn't recommend switching, Martin mentions this in his e-mail, Martin says ditch BT and recommends this one", quite frankly they are sick of hearing your name, but its working, they are going to get the internet, as I have managed to persuade them they can make savings!).

    Well done to the MSE 's who took part, my husband said "can we get a few chooks", no was my reply its in the convenant on the deeds of the house "no livestock". He thought he would be able to sell the eggs, I like his way of thinking, he's slowly coming round to the idea of saving money.

    Cant you just say that they are pets? I've only got five as you can see from the clips of my garden. I'm always up to my eyes in eggs so I started selling them at a £1 for half dozen. I wasnt sure anyone would buy them but I have a waiting list!

    Well done on your second show Martin :T & Well done fellow MSEr's who took part :T .

    I have to say im not keen on the standing audience it looks like everyone is ready to leave:confused:. A more relaxed atmosphere on set would make alot of difference.
    Keep tweeking it, I know its early days...but I have to say I switched over to Watchdog halfway through :o..... Its just easier to follow (sorry Guys) But I will tune in again next week to see how the show progresses.

    I wish we could, our solicitor at the time of the house sale clearly pointed out the 10 year covenant on the house, "no livestock, no caravans, no sheds, no beach huts etc without the permission of the house builder, who want a fee for granting permission. I've got 6 years left to wait, until I can get that caravan, chickens, and a whole lot more, my neighbours are going to love me.:rotfl:

    I thought you were excellent, I really do envy you, fresh eggs, you are a true Old Styler, and I want to be one of those.

    I thought the background panel thing was a bit distracting - it was so huge, and I'm not sure if it was meant to represent money pigs or (to the uninitiated) pigs might fly!

    I agree about catering for those without internet access - would it be possible to have a fact sheet that people could phone up for? Also if you gave a quick rundown of the times when each item would be shown, those like myself who find it too much to take in could make sure they are "switched on" for the part/s that particularly interest them.

    Finally, both Martin and Ruth seem to shriek a lot, which I don't find comfortable to listen to. I know it is to reflect the urgency and excitement of it all, but it's not very easy on the eardrums.

    I love the bits with forum members on though - you were all brilliant! :T
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
