Been waiting all through '04 for the '04 season of New Yankee Workshop to
appear on Discovery Home and Leisure (Europe), not a damn thing, only
re-runs. Then last week new ads. appear for the NYW.
I check the website, yep the '04 season starts today. I tune up the VCR, get
the snacks and a cold one ready for the off, double check the listings again
just in case, yep it's the "The Butterfly Table". 2-30 comes, I hit the
record button, Oh f@#$ it , the bloody planters bench again.
I bloody hate Discovery H & L when they do this. Screwed again

My cable luckily carries two PBS stations so I can watch Norm 'live' =
(latest season) on Sat & Sun. The other channel it is on is Home & =
Garden TV or HGTV. They used to have Norm on every morning then cut it =
back to weekends; now HGTV only has it on Sunday morning.
I wrote HGTV to complaign and received a cookie-cutter, elected =
official, form letter reply.
