Thanks for the X-forwarder tip – Lifesaver!!!

No worries, Marcus. Happy to help. 🙂

American TV has been markedly improved in the years since you left. Get yourself over to JB HIFI.

Can’t agree about Ben and Jerry’s though, ever since they discontinued Blueberry Cheesecake.

chris, I actually have been to JB and not too long ago. KRudd bought me a 50″ Panasonic plasma as a somewhat belated xmas pressie. Diggin’ it, I didn’t even have to become a xian. 🙂

B&J’s discontinued Wavy Gravy in my absence as well, severely devaluing their stock in my eyes anyway, but there’s still an awful lot of good to be said for NYSFC. 😉

You need to get some new DVDs, I suspect. Have you seen “The Wire”?

Nah, if it’s worth seeing, ’tis on the torrents. We don’t need no steeeeenkeeeng DVDs. 🙂

I probably would not be too interested in ‘The Wire’ if but for the fact I’m not a fan of cop dramas, but thanks for the suggestion. About the only US TV we watch, aside from TDS & TCR, is PBS NOVA docos.

I don’t know what you mean by the “torrents”. I have to say though that The Wire has got to be one of the best shows of all time and it is virtually unknown down here. Anyway, it is much more than a cop drama.

I could name a half dozen shows that came out in the past few years that were real quality television. “Breaking Bad” is another, but you can’t get it here yet.

Whoa – that is new for me. I’m just a finance guy. Those downloads look to eat up my monthly allotment from Telstra, though.

Too bad you can’t download ice cream…

yep, you definitely need a big d/l limit to make it work for ya, but ours is 60GB/mo. 🙂

Downloading ice cream would be far preferable, tho. 🙂

I don’t know what you mean by the “torrents”.

‘

duuuude… where ya been? 😆

Get a copy of μTorrent then check Mininova or TPB to download lotsa interesting stuph. 🙂 If it’s been on free-to-air or cable in the US (or anywhere else for that matter) it can almost certainly be had on the torrents.
