Yeh! How come I've now got four "flicker dickers" then?

1. For TV
2. For VCR
3. For Digital TV Box
4. For Surround Sound System

You think this is simple? Drives Carolyn nuts.

No, I watch mainly thought provoking documentaries, current affairs programmes
and murder dramas with intricate convoluted plots.

I don't watch Trash TV, I watch 95% equivalent to your PBS. Lots of good OZ and
British programmes.

Watch some of my murder mysteries with 16 sub plots and 32 aside stories.

Jeez I get tired of explaining things to Carolyn. She can't remember one
principal character from one scene to the next.

Better go before I get a smack in the mouth
