Listen 123, I got in touch with the Beeb and asked them to change the name to 'Handsome Helicopter Heroes' but they said that the offshore guys were already too jealous. They get the extra money, we get the ego, its the law. Oh and to stick with the thread........ there are udder reasons too.

Sorry we don't get the British channels or shows here in the states. Some day. We had a show called MAUI CHOPPERS taped in Hawaii of course that was great to watch IMO. Hoping that they bring it back. Maui Chopper on truTV.com

Sorry. Just nipped out to find the leather forecast. It was hide-ing. My opinion of the Met Office has been suede by this incident.

I guess the producers must have buttered up the TV company for them to show it, but it is a slap in the chops for me.

I've been ruminating about this, and I really didn't want to bring it up again - but why they keep churning it out is beyond me. Leading the viewers by the nose, and hoping they won't beef about another load of manure.

I'm pleased to see that they are getting a good ribbing on here.

watchin' TV

I think I can get BBC on Foxtel here in Aus? The fam reckon me watchin' helicopter shows on the TV while chewing on something is the absolute picture of bovine contentment, which sort of sums up this thread to date?
