It's a torrent site dedicated to English TV programmes for download. And after many hits on the F5 key, I have an account again. :cool: (Just got back from England and was kinda missing some of the things I'd been watching over the last few weeks.)

Had not accessed my account for a while so it was deleted. Will not let me create a new account as they are at their max for users currently. Anyone know any tips or advice for how to re-register? Or just a case of randomly keep checking back.

Has anyone seen this French Vincent Cassell two parter gangster epic? Saw signs all over Paris advertising it last week and heard good things about it. Looks to be coming out on DVD in Europe at the end of the year. Edit...just seen the thread below...mods delete if ya like.

It's not just chrnic or degenerative diseased patients that are shafted if you have to change healthcare insurance. Even less serious conditions that you had been covered for before, you will have a very hard time getting new insurance to cover you. This basic fact seems to have alluded those on here making excuses for the US way. The other fact is that whilst it can be argued that costs to those paying for insurance and those being taxed could equate to the same is not really true. Once undergoing US treatment, many plans require a whopping great deductible to be met (in our case $2500 per year, not too bad) before the insurance kicks in. This is after the monthly premiums we pay. Then you can still be liable for 10 or 20% of costs after that. Bear in mind that hospitals, doctors, anesthesiologists, etc, tend to charge from $10Ks to $100Ks for a fairly routine operation with a week's stay. Added to this, as mentioned above, the insurance people will, at any opportunity, attempt to wriggle out of anything they can to lessen their payout to the docs. It's totally ****.

The cobra plan lasts for just 18 months after you leave your employer and is gap insurance until your new employer provides a subsidized rate or if you're lucky as you are Socal, pays entirely for it. As it is an extension of your old plan which you pay for, you are still covered for pre-existing conditions but after that you are on your own. The predicament we face is that once we move out of this state (the sooner the better), my wife would have to change her healthcare provider as it is a Nevada based company. As she has existing conditions, she is facing the prospect of being denied by new carriers. Hopefully by this point, the current administration will have remedied this pitiful retarded scenario for good.

Untrue. If you are self employed or have an employer who don't offer subsidised health insurance you are faced with hundreds of dollars a month to be covered with a very inferior plan where you would still need to meet a 'deductible' for any surgeries (say $2,500). At that point you would be facing 10 or 20% of the inflated costs from there on. It is revolting and even more revolting that the right wing ****pots can even start criticsing socialised healthcare. I don't see how there can be an NHS in America but affordable insurance needs to be offered to ALL and the horrible 'pre-existing conditions' nightmare totally dropped - this is the thing that screws most up over here.

Watch out FC Porto!

This deal (below) seems very good. I will be using it for two weeks in August. It's on a month to month contract. Dongle costs only 10 pounds and then 15 pound for coverage. Can I really just plug this in and get wifi (3 coverage permitting) or are there any other things I should be aware of. I compared this to an offer Orange has but they charge 15 pounds per month plus 29 pounds for the dongle...and it only allows 3gb data usage compared to the 3 deal that offers 15gb. Edit: Is 'Three' as **** as it has been made out to be after doing some research? I don't need it to perform where it has no business to perform (ie Dartmoor), but should it serve it's purpose in a town (namely Wallingford, OX)? I need to order over the weekend so any quick help would be really appreciated. Thanks. http://threestore.three.co.uk/dealsummary.aspx?offercode=1MB5GD003

"...ok buddy, let's dance!"

sod off :cool:

Blokus right now. Had a blast with Games Workshop Talisman as a kid.

Club, until about 5 years' time when the England team are comprised of 11 Saints players.

you swine!

I'll give you credit if you've done your own research rather than having just watched the loose change evidence....of which can be debunked by the simplest of people. I personally doubt the administration of the time were clever enough (however much they may have wanted it) to have covered something of this magnitude up. The colossal ****up of the last 8 years weren't very good at doing anything correctly.

Happy with that. Not WGS or Coppell but plenty of potential here - passionate, no nonsense and a fair degree of player pulling power (not meant to sound dirty). Let's see what he can do. COYRs.

...And it shows Sky? Good backup then. Ta. Understand that I'd prefer to be at St Marys but since they moved it forward, it awkwardly clashes with a time I have to be picking someone up from Gatwick with jetlag.

We used to get some kind of insect larvae from the pet shop for them when we had them a long time ago. They get big. They smell. They bite. That is all.

Thanks very much Keith. I used to live in Surrey and headed into this area quite a bit in my youth for the pubs. (Been looking at the pub review sites but couldn't locate one within easy reach that stated they showed footy.) Wanted to stay away from towns so this one sounds perfect. Does it do food do you know?

Agreed. I was let down too. Clint doesn't have to do much other than snarl and grunt but still does a good job....and his racial jibes were v. funny. Not terribly impressed by his directional work. He tends to over-simplify and never goes into depth with the story or characters. Very watchable but nothing special. Night at the Museum 2 - 2/5 (Not out of choice you hear) Nothing new, silly overkill plot, etc - everything you'd expect from a sequel for this type of movie. Ricky Gervais had an even smaller part (as did Coogan). Amy Adams was nice to look at though.

Bit of a longshot, but anyone familiar with the area know of any nice pubs that have Sky Sports?

If all is to be believed. We will get a decent competent management team in place and they will bring in decent competent hard working fresh players. I'd be prepared to believe that the dozing giants we have (Saga, John, Rasiak) might just step up to the plate and perform like they should. IMO, sad to see Saga go. At least see what he can achieve once we get the new regime set in place.

We get the RAF into McCarren Int. airport here a few times a year (customs clearance before their wargames training in the desert) with the fantastic VC-10 tankers. They were here a while ago and the accompanying Eurofighters barrell rolled shortly after takeoff...when in Vegas! Hope they keep that one remaining Vulcan flying for many more years. Awesome plane.

When I'm home, anything my parents have around the house - so The Grauniad, Independant or Observer.

I don't think you've woken up yet have you. Hoddle may be fine for Div 1 but we are kinda aiming a bit higher with talk of WGS, KK or Coppell. (Hod was an option even I wouldn't have minded a year ago when things were really desperate but it's looking a bit rosier now.) ....oh yeah, he's also a **** who no one likes! :cool:

Thanks Mark. Very commendable and dignified behaviour over the last weeks of this mess. Best of luck.
