I'm using expat shield and it does get stuck a lot. How's that other thing working out? Anyone got a VPN that's smoother?

I use the small application from myiplayer as the vpn isn't needed and seems a little smoother than when using expat shield and others.

It always has a small border around it and cant make it full screen which is a shame but works well for me.

I'd rather do that than watch Paula Radcliffe not compete again for whatever reason.

I mean between CTV and NBC is there any point?

Although the commentating during the Parade of Nations on CTV was pretty crap, or the lack thereof depending on how you want to look at it.

"And here come the team from Angola, who flew in early to adjust to the time difference."

What time difference would that be exactly?

It was a good result. It's worth watching the women's weight lifting just the listen to the commentators talk about the clean and jerk and the snatch.

Well I know the Olympics is all over now but still... Premier League footy starts this week. I'm in FL, USA and watch my UK TV through http://www.123uktv.com - really cheap and includes Sky Go access so I get around 40 channels plus BBC, ITV etc.

Do you work for them, the vast majority of your posts seem to mention them, and to be honest it looks more than a little spammy.

Check out Twistys homepage. Surprisingly it's *****************

I'm surprised their spammy posts haven't been pulled ages ago.

Also, i heard ***************** was shit.
