Don't forget the steering is on the right too, as well as we spell tyres properly and there are no commercial breaks every 3 minutes with a word from our sponsor ;-)) Mark

And you have four channels with the same inane humor - or darts - hour after hour after hour. Daniel Rusty! -- Daniel Banyas Here's an idea - next time you do something stupid, don't call a lawyer.
Oh, I see - that's as opposed to 120 channels with the same predictable "humour"? Oh, and we spell "humour" properly too..... ;-) Now when does that darts programme start.....

Yeah, but our 4 channels contains more worthwhile stuff than the US' 120. Besides, satellite TV contains at least another 20, most of which are also decent. And as for our humoUr, I can't think of a UK sitcom that even approaches being as ***as 3rd Rock From the Sun. :) And our bands are better... :P -- Dave Bowers

Erm, I don't know when you last visited the UK, but it was obviously a LOooonnggggg time ago. We have quite a few more channels than four now you know? With 5 terrestrial channels, satellite tv, and cable tv, we probably have more channels than you!!!! And because our cables/satellite systems are new and state of the art, (because our government wouldn't let out the franchises to shit companies), the quality is far better too!!!! Darts, no never watch it, but if I did and it happened to be world championship darts, that would mean there are lots of contestants, from around the world taking part, unlike your "world" series where only US teams take part? Enough said......Tosser, (Thats English slang for Jerk) #:~> **Peter**

Wel, I don't mean to be off-topic [hint], but I don't think it's entirely justified to list channel 5 as a channel yet :) I haven't watched a single program on it so far, in fact it seems to be filled with US soaps. -- Dave Bowers

What about the early hours of wednesday morning (2-4am) when they show motor racing, the CART races in full, rallying, f3 and other racing stuff. Almost back on topic [hint]. Bob

CART races in full, are you absolutely certain about this, what about commentary. I find it hard to believe though. Let me know if I can ditch EuroSport. MarkH World Motor Sport Schedules - http://www.ncl.ac.uk

Channel 5 say the CART races are in full, the first one just seemed to be highlights though (don't think they said "in full" until after the 1st one), the second was complete, on the third I think they might have edited down the 'full course yellows', I was a bit too bleary eyed to tell. It is ESPN coverage. Bob
