Re: UK TV Programs

Re: Phoenix, AZ

I hated it. We lived there from Jan to June 3 years ago and couldn't wait to leave. Unbearably hot, just a concrete jungle, quite a trashy place all in all.

Re: Am American now

I got a flag today too. Became a citizen in Portland, Oregon. Also had my first wine, beer and tea. All tasted exactly the same as when I was a British citizen, or rather subject.

Re: free english television in cyprus

Re: UK tv online abroad

astrill.com, I use for about $6 a month in the US, can watch a large number of countries TV, including of course the UK. So anything you can view online in the UK, you can watch on it.
