See Site Owner Phil Derner on TV tonight.

[mirrodie]

Tune in to

Discovery Channel HD at 12 midnight tonight.

Phil will be on "Concorde: The Final Flight"

[nwafan20]

Discovery HD? Is that a special channel?

[PhilDernerJr]

Mario will be on it, too. Don't know why you gota embarrass just me. :-p

I look like **** in that thing. God. I'm gonna cut cable wires so no one can see it or something.

I don't recall them filming it in HD though. How will they pull that off?

[mirrodie]

Nah, Phil, you are the site owner, all the props go out to you! Take a bit of credit.

Um, its on Discovery HD Theater, midnight late this Monday night. Channel 727 for optimum subscribers.

I think they did film in HD all along. It looks pretty good actually on HD.


And Phil, you looked as dapper as ever, what do you mean, man? I guess we are always our own worst critic. I've lost 10 bls since then, so I looked like poo too.

[GrummanFan]

So who will be recording this and uploading it to youtube?

[nwafan20]

That would be nice since I don't have Discovery HD

[Mellyrose]

And Phil, you looked as dapper as ever

Haha! Dapper!!!!

[mirrodie]

Mel, will you see it? I gotta say, if you can see it on Discovery HD Theater, its great.

I was watching certain aspects such as the waves on the shoreline and the birds flying off the shore and I felt like I was there all over again.

Good crisp video and had some extra parts.


Maybe nyc75 (vin) can record? I know he's an avid DHDT watcher :)

[Mellyrose]

I'll be asleep and I don't know if we get the HD channels. I'd love to see it though. I've only seen a crappy VHS clip of it. :)

[Midnight Mike]

Mario will be on it, too. Don't know why you gota embarrass just me. :-p

I look like **** in that thing. God. I'm gonna cut cable wires so no one can see it or something.

Don't worry about it Phil, you look like crap most of the time! :lol: :shock:

[N790SW]

Damm Phil and Mario are famous now!!!

[PhilDernerJr]

I have a copy that they sent me...VHS, sitting in my cabinet. I hate it. haha

They used a fisheye lens RIGHT in front of my face, and I looked skinnier than ever. I might have been lighter than I am now.

I had something going on I think earlier that morning (there were two days of filming) and I had a suit on still.

It was a good show though. If you folks wanna come to my palce and watch it sometime, all I charge is beer. :lol:

I just have regular TV, though, and the show I ahve is, like I siad, VHS. I think it's safer anyway....I don't know if even I can handle Phil Derner in HD!!!

[mmedford]

what kind of beer?

[Mellyrose]

Phil prefers: Yuengling, Bud, Grolsch, Corona or Stella.

Or, anything with alcohol.

Mmmm, Corona and Stella.. :D I will try to watch it tonight...not even sure if I get Discovery HD, but I'll check. Otherwise I'll have to make a spontaneous roadtrip up to NYC to watch it at your place Phil, lol.

Greets,

[engine46]

That was a fun, yet sad day.

[mirrodie]

Sure Phil, the old "Fisheye in my face" excuse. :roll: :wink:

That's pretty funny actually. Since I lost weight since then, that means I was actaully much fatter then I looked on TV, LOL



Phil Derner in HD = Dapper


Beers allowed are the same as those served on BA COncorde flights:

Lager- Grolsch, Stella Artois, Holsten Pils, Fuller’s London Pride Ale.

Grolsch and Stella are pretty easy to get locally.


edit: I just saw Mel's post. Grolsch baby! Did I turn you on to that?

[PhilDernerJr]

Yes, Mario, you did turn us onto Grolsch.

[mirrodie]

For those interested, it will air again soon.

Oh man, they taped the afterparty, too!? I assume this is the unrated version.
