The stupid little squares are nothing. What's really irritating is the new segways with slow-mo shots of various ITV celebs mincing around and pulling daft poses. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

If I see the Davina McCall (sp?) bit one more time I will go postal, I swear.

Queue walker - somebody who walks up and down the nightclub queue giving out tickets, and checking for undesirables who won't be allowed into the club.

Does not compute.

Actually, other than the Autopsy, I've not watched TV midweek for over 3 weeks.

Aye, I expect you need to save the petrol in the generator for essential use only. Oh, and economise on the use of the parrafin lamp

No, duh. I use a fairly modern invention which you might have heard of - the 'aeroplane'.

Each ITV region has its own "advert joiner" bit, so it depends what region you're in as to whether you get squares, circles, gnomes, hamsters or whatever between each ad.

Haven't watched ITV for yonks, so I've no idea what my region is currently using.

My first comments on the new itv branding when I was shown it six months ago were "it looks like someones taken the old logo and applied some cheesy 3d effect"

Truly a load of cack, but it you've ever met the any of the people who run ITV you'd see why

Erm... actually now you mention it, I think most of the stuff it records is on BBC and CH4. I guess that's the other nice thing about TiVo, it doesn't matter when stuff is on or even what channel
