The best laid plans

Today is, I believe, Chuck Norris Day. Time to break out the "Chuck Norris se Mxxr" T shirt and assume a macho attitude, tell a few CN jokes e.g. "Chuck sleeps with a pillow under his gun" and just celebrate the man.
Somewhat like the Oscars.
It is a long held tradition with Rowland and I, Academy Award night, we sit in front of the TV and thoroughly enjoy the movie love fest. We don't listen to the radio or read a newspaper, we relish the surprises.
So, Monday evening, come 19.30 (Happy Hour until 19.45) we settled in front of the telly - ah, the anticipation. The first half hour was good, we decided to break at 20 hundred hours for dinner. That's when things went awry. We had unexpected visitors as I was dishing up - an absolute treat, number two son and his three lovely ladies, they had just been out celebrating Marleze's 39th birthday. So good to see them. Once they had left RX suddenly felt dreadful (this happens with the treatment he's had) and went to shower and off to bed.
No worries mate. As the Oscars were being recorded on the PVR we planned to resume Tuesday evening.
So, once again, happy hour at the homestead, 19.30 we sat down to resume our show. Day two of no radio, no newspapers etc.
I thought it quite a good show, the League of Dancers were excellent, Jack wasn't there - again - but we caught a glimpse of him at some other award ceremony looking happy. The faux pas of the night must have been leaving Bea Arthur and Farrah Fawcet off the In Memorium section or perhaps, a strange woman who leapt into view and hijacked an acceptance speech.
I felt that the Avatar soundtrack should have won but aside from that all was good.
Let me pause to explain what I understand of the workings of the PVR decoder. You do not set it to record by time, you set it to record by programme. I set it to record the Oscars.
So, DSTV, why did the recording stop three awards before the end of the show?????????????. Not acceptable.
Should I perhaps notify Chuck Norris? It being his day and all?
As we're adults we overcame our disappointment and this morning I googled the awards, not nearly as much fun as watching them but, such is life.
All that being said, to Aunty Eva, Nina and Chuck, Happy Birthday and many more, may your timeslot not be messed up by the PVR of life.
