Overheard

Anyway – while sat on the train to the DCD gig last week, I heard the most brilliant conversation…
Her (on mobile phone) : [blah, blah] and what time is ER on E4 tonight?
Him : [must’ve said 9pm, as that’s when it was]
Her : Oh, OK. I don’t think I’ll be back by then. What time does it start on E4+1?
This was said entirely straight-faced.
(For foreign readers, or those without satellite, I should point out that E4+1’s programmes start exactly one hour after E4’s hence the +1 in the name)
Ah, but maybe she remembers the days when the News at Ten regularly started at anywhere between 9.45 and 11.35 😉
Kirsty did something similar yesterday whilst watching Charmed on Living+1. An episode came on that she’d seen – so she suggested that I could have control of the telly for an hour (there was crap all on) until the next episode started. I helpfully pointed out that if she turned to the normal Living channel, she could watch that episode now. “Oh yeah!” she replied!
Was she blonde?
