tysolnaRight, I thought, if you can get BBC television via satellite dishes in Germany, I'd better get myself a satellite dish. After all, how much can it be in terms of time and effort? Put dish on roof, stick cable through the wall, plug and watch. Sort of a christmas present to myself.
Sort of, yeah.
At the moment, I don't see it happening. Because:
- they might have to call a tiler for the roof tiles
- they will probably have to remove a bit of the panelling in my room, or at least drill a hole through it somewhere
- they'll need to pull a cable through an unused chimney, through my cellar and into dad's cellar to earth the dish
- in the cellar, we'll have to remove panelling in both rooms to get to the chimney and into the other cellar
- dad is at the moment building a model train in his cellar, a piece of which might have to be removed
- and finally, the weather has to be right, at least ten degrees above freezing, and dry for at least half a day!
Add to that the pay for materials and work hours, plus the fact that I am at the moment still suffering financially from the last visit to London, and I don't think I'll be watching the Christmas Invasion live in my living room.
Thinking it over, I need to find out when next my parents will be away for at least a week, that would remove part of the hassle, and since it won't be for a few months, I can save up until then. But still, David Tennant in Doctor Who... *sighs*

Date: 2005-12-16 11:00 am (UTC)On the good side... I have my own Sonic Screwdriver toy... The Series One DVD boxset...
I've created a character based on the Sixth Doctor, albeit more likeable. Think the Sixth Doctor blended with Major Winchester from MASH.
And updated list of favourite Doctors (by personality), which is odd... First, Sixth, Fifth, Third, Ninth, Second, Fourth. Seventh and Eighth haven't appeared yet.

Did you hear, German TV actually bought Doctor Who, the new series?
List of favourite Doctors, okay... First, Sixth, Ninth, Fifth, Third, Eighth, Seventh, Fourth, Second. At the moment, at least!

I'll be doing a huge writeup sometime in... I guess June after the (Australian) ABC completes its classic series showing. I'll be compiling my "favourite" list then. Should be interesting to pick my favourite out of twenty seven years' worth of entertainment.
