But "gal" is such a horrible word, it's such a "Sky" word ...

'Gal' is a horrible word? What, you hate 'lass' too?

Pretty much, but it's the context as well in this case. Sky are making the description sound so personal, and "gal" to me has connotations of a personal nature, as if they know or have a connection to the person described. This is Sky remember, who have proved on many occasions they have no real bond or connection with the Futurama universe given all of their horrendously inaccurate episode descriptions...

I agree with Otis, 'gal' is a nasty 'Sky' word. Okay, the descriptions are different on the Virgin TV Guide. Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences
Alien leader Lrrr is consoled after a bungled invasion of Earth triggers a mid-life crisis.Wow, I think they got one right... Anyway, the next one: Mutants are Revolting
Leela is sent underground for being a mutant, though she's not the kind of girl to take things lying down.Again, no 'The' in the title, and it says girl, not gal... Oh, and EVERY description says 'Animated comedy series set in the year 3000.' GET IT RIGHT SKY.

True, they are no longer in the year 3000 anymore. That description would only be correct for repeats of certain old episodes ... For Bendin' In The Wind: A blast from the past as Fry and Bender salvage a vintage Volkswagen bus from the turbulent 1960s and return it to its tie-dyed glory. Guest starring Beck. Nothing about Bender being broken or about the other crew or even why there in the bus?!?!
I always called them VW Campers, or VW Camper Vans, but a quick Google search seems to imply that they can be called VW Buses as well. Learnt something new ...

Can they technically be called buses? They don't follow the definition of a bus in my opinion.

That's what I thought too, hence why I searched. At first I thought it was another error in the description, but the results make it difficult to say for sure. We have a conundrum...

Bendy buses are the tools of the Devil, but didn't Boris Johnson vow to get rid of them from London at least?...

I just had a nightmare with a bendy bus. I am not kidding. Like a bus of doom riding through town.

Well, they have a great tram network in Manchester, and it's reasonably priced too. If the trams must be beautiful though (which sounds like something a female would be more interested in), then I guess you better move to San FranCisco...
Btw, another thing I hate about Sky is their call centre. About a million options and buttons to press, horrible waiting music and you just about give up the will to live by the time you get through. So glad I don't have to waste my time and money on them anymore...

Judging the design appeal of trains and trams is more something sweaty anorak wearing trainspotters would do. :P A-ha! Not that I care anymore ...

Um... I think it's meant to be about Futurama on Sky, or Virgin with Sky on Virgin, and hold the whipped cream...

Look, no matter what set of genitals I turn out to have, you are welcome to put whipped cream on them. Or golden syrup if you prefer.
If you're offering golden syrup, I'm in. I don't care if there are genitals involved or not. I love that stuff. But screw the topic, I was about to weigh in on trams. I want trams that look like Toby from Thomas the Tank Engine. Um... I think it's meant to be about Futurama on Sky, or Virgin with Sky on Virgin, and hold the whipped cream...
As for Futurama on Sky, I no longer care. I find I need to watch them a lot sooner than Sky would be airing them if I'm to read the comment threads before they grow to immense size and become impossible to get through anyway. Plus, I don't have Sky anymore. As far as virgins (or Virgin) covered in whipped cream go, I'll pass. I want that golden syrup (and maybe custard). Hm. Now I'm pretty much going to have to watch Futurama whilst eating a bowl of golden syrup (or custard). Once I get a reasonably strange and yet acheiveable idea stuck in my head, I'm often compelled to do it just so I can say I did. Yes, I'm odd. No, I don't care.

Me too, I love golden syrup. I always use it in my flapjacks. As for Toby he was awesome. BUT WHERE WAS HENRIETTA'S FACE

Yeah, but the description says they are a few days travel away from Earth, which implies the beginning of "The Problem with Popplers".

It beggars belief. Either they have a very tiny opinion of their audience and think that they're too stupid to notice, or they're just lame amateurs who have no clue what they're doing. Either way, it's just sad ...
