BBC TWO: no Buffy until 7 December

| Schedule Changes For Buffy
|
| A note for your diaries: 'Buffy' is taking an unexpected
| break for UEFA cup football this week and (snooker the week
| after too) so you'll have to wait for 'Pangs' a little longer
| I'm afraid. This news came so late it seems to have caught
| some of the listings magazines unawares.
|
| A sympathetic scheduler adds:
|
| "After securing the rights to the Liverpool vs Olympiakos
| match this Thursday (November 23rd), Buffy has been pushed
| forward. Sadly, this happened after this week's schedules
| were published. I can only stress how sorry we are, and that
| I understand how frustrating this is for you all.
| Unfortunately we can't keep everyone happy, and the BBC must
| also keep our commitment to sport.
|
| The repeat on Friday night will be replaced by "The Outer
| Limits" as we don't want to get out of sync with the earlier
| showings. Buffy will also be off air on the 30th November due
| to Snooker coverage. The episode "Pangs" will now play on
| Thursday 7 December, with the repeat on Friday 8 December.
|
| I'd also like to stress that Buffy isn't the only programme
| affected by this late change to the schedule: other viewers
| will also miss their favourite programmes, and we don't
| single out 'cult' programmes for schedule changes."

Bye,

One small piece of good news out of all this horror, is that the Outer
Limits is on, but they are talking out of their backsides here.

It's like Pool (you know, table, pockets, cue balls..) but with more
confusing rules, points, a bigger table, smaller cues, tiny balls (in
funny colors and more of them) and they take them back out of the
pockets once they've been put in. Or just look it up on the net. In
short, more boring than Buffy.

You can download a pretty good snooker (and pool) simulation
(Jimmy White 2:Cueball) from <http://www.freeloader.com> if you are
interested in finding out more.

Snooker: a gruelling test of endurance in which millions off people must
stay awake all night for two weeks (also due to BBC 2 schedulers) until a
man with half a dinner suit smiles and picks up a big fat cheque! Also the
reason I didn't find out until 11:00 that Buffy wasn't shown on Thursday -
I'd set the video as I was playing at the time!
Table is set up with 15 red balls (in a triangle) and one each of yellow,
green, brown, blue, pink, and black. A red is worth one point, the colours,
2-7 respectively. At each visit to the table you must pot a red followed by
a colour, then red, colour etc. The colours come back up after potting
until only the colours remain. They are then potted in order, lowest value
ball (yellow) first. Foul strokes include hitting the wrong ball, potting
the cue ball, potting the wrong ball, and various others. The penalty is
dependant on the value of the ball involved. eg: you are potting a red and
the cue ball hits the black, foul 7. The minimum penalty for a foul is 4. A
snooker is when one player manages to get the balls into a position whereby
their opponent cannot see any appropriate ball and is played with the
intention of increasing your own score by forcing your opponent to foul.
Hence it is possible for some-one to eventually
win despite a point defecit greater than the value of balls on the table.The
winner at the end is the player with the highest score.
