    Hi Donny-Gal - We have a satellite here now so I can watch most of the freeview channels via my digibox, which we bought over with us. I've also found this http://www.blinkx.com/? and this http://tv.blinkx.com/movies, all free! I had a problem with buffering initially but, once I had downloaded the latest Firefox, it has worked a treat. We've even seen the latest James Bond movie on it! Apparently, there are 45,000,000 hours of programmes and movies available. I'll have a look into how to look as if I'm in the UK, though, thanks.

    Had a lovely day.

    All four DDs cooperated to make a lovely meal. Two starters, beef marinated in chilli and vodka and two puddings all made from scratch. Table beautifully decorated etc.
    They wouldn't let me in the kitchen and looked up recipes from "Come Dine with me".

    I spent the day browsing on a laptop and reading the books I got for my birthday..

    Happy Birthday to ms N9eav
