On Direct TV the lowest channel number is 130, if I knew what the station was and where it eminated maybe I could find the programming.

Bill....This is for UK viewing,the chances of a viewing here in Colombia are slim to none. Best wait to see a posting of it on YouTube,hopefully.

Monpirri says on Oct 29, 2007, 08:42:

Bill Turley, I'm with you, I was just being funny.
I hope you find the right channel number.

I forgot that you have "English" television in Colombia, I remember watching the BBC news in Bogotá, sorry this is for viewing in Britain only.

Don't worry, you're not missing much.

Monpirri says on Oct 29, 2007, 10:06:

Ok, thanks for the warning!

he was not captured by the Farcs but the ELN... if it had been the Farc he would be still there.
what was that he said?, that the ELN released him for humanitarian what?..... yeah right.....a ramson was paid i am pretty sure.
He really had a hard time poor guy, what beast those people can be, my brother in law suffered exactly the same, he also was kidnapped by the ELN


BTW, again they showed Colombia like those little Mexican towns that you see on the films.

I watched it last night. What a pack of savages! It was interesting to note that the naive, idealistic female guerilla, who showed him some kindness was roundly abused by the others and then promptly disappeared.

LA_MONA says on Oct 30, 2007, 03:35:

Yeah Kalder I was worried about her! I think they killed her for befriending him..

Tears came to my eyes when the red cross were there waiting for him and carried him into the ambulance.

That bit where they made him run into the jungle and listen out for the helicopter that was to rescue him and then leave him there waiting and making fun out of him, that was low.

So Kat you think it was a ransom? I thought it was because of him feigning prostate cancer, that was a good idea of his to ram the keys up his nose and pour the blood onto his trousers, I suppose your survival insticts kick in.

You can bet a rabbit with a glass eye that a ransom was paid !
