I have finally made it into The Daily Insider. I was sure one of my Elephant posts would make it, alas they chose something serious instead.
I will get around to answering the other replies to my post. Been out in a Data Centre today, got home just before 23:00, now getting to bed just after 01:00 and soon to be up at 04:00 to get at it again.

You mean it's better to have him inside the tent chundering out, that outside the tent chundering in?

You don't need to tell me what "chunder" means - I demonstrated it several times in my youth.

I'm an ignorant 'Merican, so I had to look it up. Given that it referred to Mick, I skipped the 'straight' dictionaries and went for urbandictionary.com .

Can you never find the TV controller because it's in a remote location?

Oi! Have you a webcam in my TV-room?

Obviously, you should hold a seance to channel the remote.

I once thought of developing a TV controller finder, but to make a long story short, it's remote locations all the way down.

Isn't that why you have kids?
Mine were good with rabbit ears also!

My son will never know the joy of holding the rabbit ears 'just so', so my old man and his friends could enjoy the hockey game.

We lived way out in rural Americana and the use of tin foil was not optional, they got pretty good with it!

Eventually we moved the TV closer to window, where we could make use of the metallic curtain rod on occasion.

I ended up buying a cheap Radio Shack $13 antenae that worked pretty good but I worked in an electronic shop fixing TVs and a customer came in and gave me a super big antenae with a rotor and I bought a 20ft. tower and the little $13 RS one did a better job so I sold the big one.

Yeah I do miss those days, a lot simpler.

We used to have 2 or 3 weekends a year devoted to canning, the whole family was involved, it actually kind of fun.

When they first came in, they were easy to find; they were on the end of the cable! Cat / dog / wife / kids all tripped over the wire of course, so usually easier just to leave the remote on top of the tv set.
