Re: BBC iPlayer & ITV Player

BBC iPlayer & ITV Player

Does anybody know how to make you computer's IP address appear to be in the UK when you are in Australia to get these to work? Have you done it, does it work? Thanks.

Re: Debate Time - I know sensitive subject, but hey?

I doubt the type of people buying $3m houses have really pulled in their spending due to the recession.

Re: 457 visa & getting pregnant

Re: Debate Time - I know sensitive subject, but hey?

Re: 457 visa & getting pregnant

I would assume that this is illegal, and there is currently a case being tested in the courts, not exactly the same but similar in that a nurse was sacked when she went on maternity leave as her visa...

Re: Debate Time - I know sensitive subject, but hey?

Great news - hope you are settling in, and lets be honest I am sure it is a far nicer house than anything that cost 25% more than yours anyway, so all good.

Re: Perth or Townsville?

Gold Coast or Benidorm? Either really, both hell holes full of brits eating egg & chips. At least there is some culture in Benidorm I'd imagine.

Re: That 'choice' thing in supermarkets ...

Re: Perth or Townsville?

Why the choice of these two? The general rule of thumb for Australia, is go to Sydney or stay at home. Townsville is an awful, god-forsaken place, broad hot dusty streets full of Macdonalds and KFC....
