Just get someone else to check for missed bits, as I do. Best to use a teenager with good eyesight I find - my daughter seems to enjoy getting every last stray hair that evaded the clipper.

When I was contracting I alway had to be smart and trim. When that ended, I stopped going the the hairdressers and let my hair grow and keep it in a pony tail. It's been 8 years now since I had my hair professionally cut.

Hmmm, why is it that less than 24 hours after I cancel BTSport, I then find out that I might not get Eurosport through sky by the end of the month.. Nightmare!!!

They better get it sorted, otherwise it might mean a subscription to cycling.tv

Probably why my Sky phone charges are going up too.

I have sky and don't pay for sport but I get 3 Eurosport Channels anyway so you might be OK.

carelesschucca · 26-01-17, 03:47 PM

But what you are paying for is something the links to the discovery package... Discovery are the company that are in dispute with Sky.

I don't have Sky sports either.

Heorot · 26-01-17, 04:28 PM

That would be a bummer for me if I lost the Discovery channels. 90% of my watching is Discovery.

Finally gets to 4.30. Does my bike want to start. **** no. Still at work, having to wait for my whole clan to come get me. ****ing bike...

If Sky lost eurosport and discovery, do you think people would have the right to cancel their subscription? I can't see sky offering any price reductions if they did lose them

maviczap · 26-01-17, 06:41 PM

Well i could cancel mine, as I'm out of contract and apart from BBC,C4, C5, i mostly use the Movie Channels, Discovery Channels, especially Eurosport. So if i cancelled sky, and just used the sky box as a freesat reciever, then i wouldn't be missing much, plus ive just bought my wife an Amazon Fire Stick, so i can get movies on Prime or Netflix.

I also have a net top pc which i could use as a Kodi box, or stream a Eurosport subscription from it.

But id rather not, as for all its expense Sky is a great platform, easy to use, and reliable
