Re: Netflix opinions?

If you subscribe to the UK service and then use a VPN like https://www.unblock-us.com/ once set up you can watch any of the netflix libraries in the world.

I usually watch the US one over the UK as it has better TV coverage.

Re: What Is On Your Agenda Today

It's financial year end at my work, therfore it's the busiest period of my year.

So it's basically get to work about 8, work until 7-ish, get home and make dinner. Do a bit of web surfing and then hit the sack.

Rinse and repeat for the next 3 weeks.
