so does the fall season take a break over xmas? when does this happen and for
how long?
the reason i'm asking such a silly question is that obviously i'm in aus, and
our major break (for school etc) is over xmas. kids start holidays anywhere
between lateish october (for uni and upper high school) to the week before xmas
for primary school. then primary goes back last week in jan, and uni about
late feb. so the networks disregard this as a rubbish season, because many
people go away during this time.
imzadi, i didn't expect that you'd be able to put 2 words together this
morning!! how was your booze up?? thought you'd still have a hangover. you
mustn't have been naughty enough 🙂
r. regan (in meetings with gorbachev) \"how easy his task and
mine might be in
these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from
some other species from another planet outside in the universe. we\'d forget all
the little local differences that we have between our countries ...\"
clearly it doesn\'t take an alien invasion to get everyone together!
rodgerse is doing nicely, and just in time for christmas.
as you can see, zet brought up an interesting topic of conversation. thought
i\'d pinch it and see how it goes.
personally, i believe that there is a giant universe out there, and i think
that we would be stupid to believe that we are the only intelligent species in
it.
and yes, i am a big sci/fi / star trek fan!!! 🙂
a man and his wife were spending the day at the zoo. she was wearing a loose
fitting, pink dress, sleeveless with straps. he was wearing his usual jeans and
t-shirt.
as they walked through the ape exhibit, they passed in front of a large,
silverback gorilla. noticing the wife, the gorilla went crazy. he jumped on the
bars, and holding on with one hand and 2 feet he grunted and pounded his chest
with his free hand. he was obviously excited at the pretty lady in the pink
dress.
the husband, noticing the excitement, thought this was funny. he suggested that
his wife tease the poor fellow some more by puckering her lips and wiggling her
bottom. she played along and the gorilla got even more excited, making noises
that would wake the dead. then the husband suggested that she let one of her
straps fall to show a little more skin.
she did... and the gorilla was about to tear the bars down.
'now... show your thighs and sort of fan your dress at him,' he said. this
drove the gorilla absolutely crazy, and he started doing flips.
then the husband grabbed his wife, ripped open the door to the cage, flung her
in with the gorilla and slammed the cage door shut.
you have 2 options there. either put in a new adsl line, or move out. i'd go
for the first one, it's cheaper!! just give her those puppy dog eyes, and
whine that the housing prices are soooooooo high at the moment, she couldn't
possibly kick you out. trust me, mum's always fall for that! 😉 you should at
least get another couple of months grace with her!!!
1. previously on.... total waste of time. if you follow the show you know what
was the previous week unless you are gone to the alzheimer side... or if you
missed guess what? google.
2. opening titles that go forever and ever. give me a break just show me the
title of ep and shove the rest to the closing credits.
3. banners and pop in advertisement. extremely annoying covering parts of the
screen. can't you limit yourself to the regular ads? do you really have to
pollute the rest as well?
1. definately. especially since now i watch my shows by the whole season. i
either only just watched the last ep, or at worst, maybe a couple of days ago.
it sometimes also makes me think (which hurts late at night, when i watch tv)
that i have missed an ep, because for a brief second i forget where that
snippet came from.
2. yep. shit me to tears. and unfortunately, sga and sg-sg1 are prime
candidates for this. i love the shows, but it drives me crazy that the intro
goes on forever. at the moment, i'm nearly finished watching brothers and
sisters, and i love the fact that they put the title up for only a few
seconds. its great!!
3. can't say that i have encountered that. i only notice the network logo on
it, but they are so faint most of the time, that it seems to fade away after a
while.
damn aussie isp's. i've been throttled.....again!! 25gb just don't cut it!
it's gonna take me now till thursday to get the last 30% of regenesis s03. at
6 kb/s. what a bummer!!
numaris, pass me the damn scotch ☹️
i know what you mean aussiemadmum ... we're on 60gb split into peak and non-
peek usage and and its never enuff!! ive got to wait another 10 days before
ive got my off peak time back - the time i prefer to download. last month i
used up both peak and off-peak in the space of two weeks and managed to get
10gb in pipe overnight for my eztv stuff ... but two weeks of dial-up surfing
24/7 is just hell.
due to the writers strike, and another popular movie uploader taking a break
for a while, theres not much pipe stuff out there to download this month. ☹️
ah well ... woh is me. listen to me whinging that 60+gb of torrents a month
isnt enuff ... tsk tsk. 😂
