Nice to know I am special.

I am in the top 1%. As long as it comes back and they don't do what some UK ISPs have done and "lose" the mail I will be happy. For a given value of happy.

That would be right...

Ironically I mostly watch the digital version on the TV connected to the Bluray player via DNLA.

You can get 3D films now? Why would you ever want to do that? Cheaper to stab yourself in the eye with a spoon!

True Grit

Was a bloody good film in either of its incarnations. If you haven't seen it because it isn't the original and therefore not worth your time, it does prove sometimes a remake can be done without ballsing it up.

Also highly improbable that there will be True Grit 2 or any sort of franchise, given the directors. And the story - which would be obvious if you had seen the original which you probably haven't either.

eh???

What DRM infested stuff from iTunes? Oh, you mean the stuff they were selling a few years ago at the request of the labels, before switching to (mostly) DRM free stuff (and optionally upgrading everyones libraries for a small fee per track, including the bitrate). Unless you are one of those who thinks that AAC = evil, in which case there is no hope for you.

And tenner a month = 120 quid a year. That works out at 15 DRM-free albums on iTunes at the standard price of £7.99 (YMMV), and you don't have to dick about with Spotify's crap interface, or worry about it being blocked by proxies / firewalls. Oh, and you can also carry it with you offline.

If you want to listen to music to hear new stuff, then there is always BBC 6 Music, and the DJs rock.

Martin, you Cock(ney) Tw*t.

See title.

"Rural" in a lot of cases could also mean large market towns, where "broadband" can sometimes exceed a whopping 1Mbs if the wind is in the right direction. Also even in large towns / cities there are broadband dead spots, where new estates get built without proper infrastructure being considered. I expect even in your miracle city of wonder, with its shining lights and fluffy pigeons, there are similar places in existence.

The sooner London disappears up its own arse the better off the rest of the country will be. Except you will all move up North and ruin it for the rest of us.

Apologies to the Londoners who aren't wankers.

They will just build better engines.

With both RR and Airbus having facilities affected by this, if it lasts longer than a week I imagine they will have designers locked up in rooms making plans for dust-proof engines, which they can then sell at a massive profit.

Can't roll back time you know. We have moved on from the horse and cart already.
