My 14 year old daughter is exactly the same,but I set it myself before I left for work.Maybe it's an age thing or possibly all kids can't remember sh@t unless you tell them via text message or Facebook?

All the family was out so I bought a Now TV pass and went through to the front room and the big telly. After 10 mins I gave up looking for the Now TV remote.
Went to the other TV and fired it up. Couldn't get the Chromecast dongle to see the wifi. Got the laptop out, looked it up, downloaded the latest Chromecast and Google Home apps and faffed about for ages. No joy.
Fired up the kids' Chromebase to watch it on there. Error message. This device doesn't support Silverlight....
Got the laptop out again. Error; you need to dowload the latest version of Silverlight. Downloaded it, plugged my mini Bose speaker in. Silence. Ripped the speaker cable out of the back of the Chromebase, plugged it into the laptop and it's live!
FFS what a faff.
Luckily I was right by the fridge so poured myself a stiff VAT and sat glued to the screen for the next 90 mins.

Well done on the restraint front, mate. I feel your pain. That is rank incompetence.
Years ago my mate’s Dad came in from work and was fast forwarding and rewinding a video looking for that afternoon’s Tottenham game, only to discover that his wife had in fact taped Murder she wrote and some other shi te. After he’d consulted the TV listings and established that the wrong channel had indeed been recorded, he calmly unplugged the video, walked to the patio door with it tucked under his arm, opened the door, went into the garden, shut the door behind him, threw the video from above his head onto the patio and spent a couple of minutes jumping on it, before hurling it against the shed and finally launching it over the fence. After that he returned to his armchair as if nothing had happened. Big Spurs fan. Bit of a short fuse.

No idea. He's the sort of bloke who goes off on one when he's unhappy about something, so the thing that struck my mate as weird was that his Dad had calmly gone about destroying the video and launching it over the fence without saying a word. He didn't replace it for something like 3/4 years either, and no-one brought the subject up.

The closest I've come to losing it watching football is when Derby went 2-0 up against us a few years back.I got out of my chair and kicked out at my coffee table and virtually broke my big toe. I didn't half feel like an idiot when we came back to win 4-2. Happy days.

but then the flip side is stowe the celebrations , when Mackie scored against City in that game I shot off out the front door screaming like a loon and went off down the road twirling my t shirt around my head like ryan giggs against arsenal , the similarities are that we both have hairy chests but mine had a beer gut and moobs
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Before selling off the kids why not start a thread asking if anyone else has recorded the Reading match? If so they can upload it to a file hosting service like Dropbox and then you can download it.

When I still lived at home I had a constant struggle with the parents' video. Apparently, it wasn't my Mom's fault, the thing had a mind of its own. Hmmm....
I'd come home from Loftus Road and calmly turn on the machine to see what fresh hell of a documentary was masquerading as a football match. Rangers may have beaten Arsenal 2-0 in the cup but not according to that video machine which told me that all that happened that night was that loads of Brazilians grew loads of bananas, and that Cagney and Lacey were grumpy but solved a murder nonetheless.

Reminds me when my dad asked my mum to record some program on our old video player while he was out. He made the mistake of asking my mum to press pause at the adverts so he could watch the program when he got in uninterrupted. Unfortunately when he got in and settled, all he had was adverts. My mum got a bit flustered and pressed down the pause button when the program started and then released the button for the adverts.

When I was a kid, we had 3 chanels in black and white and a coat hanger for an aerial. Colour TVs and video machines were like science fiction to me. Mind you, we were still using an outside loo in the 70s.

You were lucky to have a loo, we just had a bucket
I thought my Sky box was knackerd as it wouldnt record anything Failed Failed Failed Failed is all I was getting. The programme synopsis wasn't working on anything either. Discovered my two year old son had been getting behind the tv unit and had been pulling leads and chords galore. Turns out he'd pulled on of the Sky aerials lose from the box. Proper too like the fitting at the end had come away and was still in the back of the box. What can you do?
