Anyone else not got a Telly?

I got rid of SKY as it was repeat after repeat. They where still showing christmas movies the following September. I only watch free view now
and even though there is not must on I still feel better becuse I am not helping finance Rupert Murdochs next visit to a casino. In the last couple of years I watch much less telly, it must be something to do with there being more channels which are full of cr*p

eeek, won't bloomin bother then

I barely watch TV, but like northy, it's on as background noise a lot of the time.

The kids watch a fair bit, but that's limited viewing.

I have been thinking of getting Sky, but that's more for the 16mbps broadband without limits & the phone calls, not the TV (except HD channels).

How you gonna get 16Mbps in your neck of the woods then? No unbundled exchanges in Anglesey, so limited to BT ADSL max (8Mbps). I know you are clever with electronic trickery, so you got something you want to share?

I don't think that BT would allow me to scan & upload the letter saying I have permssion to tinker with their exchange

Advantage of having a large pharmaceutical company requiring urgent work done on their network. It's time limited though, so I'd have to get my skates on.

(easiest way would just to feed 2 lines via a sync down the copper pair, but not as fast, and prone to further issues, or I could just play with WiMax & bounce the signal over to a remote exchange & pretend I'm connecting from there....)

The Dragon !!!!!




He has an extensive wardrobe.....

Here he is in a nifty witches hat and is holding a bugle....

Last month he was wearing a black open face helmet, goggles, and clutched a very fetching handbag

He also does a Blues Brothers thing with a pork pie hat, sun glasses and a white scarf
