Loving the hilarious comments, I never suggested any of that. I thought lightening, but there seemed to be no source, and green/red flashes seem a bit odd, and the fact it lit up the whole area. Dont quite understand it, with the fact literally the whole sky was lit, and it lit up the ground, seemed like it was above cloud level

Has anyone seen these? I was just outside having a smoke, no sound, nothing, the whole sky light up bright green, bright red twice, light up my whole garden and the whole sky (im in chesterfield) and my friend in dronfield has seen it, cant imagine a firework lighting up so much area with no noise, has freaked me out a little to be honest! Just strange with no sound, and the fact my whole garden light up, but i couldnt see a starting point, was literally just the whole sky..

Whatever interview, always wear formal.

Does anyone know if there are any places I can search for an adult apprenticeship? From what i've found, the usual ones are for younger people (i'm 24) and the wages are terrible, I understand I will be making less than working a normal full time job, but getting £80 a week doesn't even start to cover living costs. Probably too tall a task, but if anyone knows of any running, whatever industry, that pays more than the normal £80-90 a week, give me a shout! Thank you

A quick search of google shows that Sky player works for some and not others, it's not fully fixed yet.

Just not something that I have ever noticed, I am using a Sony BDP S550 at the moment, and it loads pretty fast.

Bringing those up as issues is hardly saying much is it really? Anyway I know the LG BD300 has zoom, I used to have one. Not sure about the loading time, not something that would really concern me though.

That's to do with your TV though.

There's a fair difference, I would easily go for it.

You really don't listen do you? First off, the sly digs and personal abuse were started by yourself, i'm sure you'll have the time to read through your own posts and realise this, but then again, with the lack of understanding from previous posts I highly doubt it. Nowhere did I say that TV was the center point of my free time. I have a PC hooked up to my TV, so when I want, I can watch what I want. It's as simple as that, and the whole iPlayer thing you seem to keep bringing up allows me to do that. If I was getting defensive, it's because ignorant people like you seem to think that anybody who has a clue about the easiest of technologies is a "geek" or doesn't have a social life. If you're in Sheffield tonight i'm sure we may cross paths at some point. After all, this whole thing is about allowing people to watch programs that they miss, and just because you don't use it because of either lack of hardware on your side, or the fact as you said you just don't like it, doesn't mean everybody else who uses it just sits at home all day lining up TV shows to watch. I like your comment on research by the way, i'm sure whoever organised that was an extremely clever person, I mean, people with an addiction, getting aggressive when questioned about it? Crazy stuff.

You really are quite dense aren't you? Who said they were spending every minute of their spare time watching American TV Series? I said, I can. If I want, I have a choice to watch what I want. I think you are bit stuck in the 90's, you seem to have some sort of problem with people who like a bit of choice, calling them geeks, and suggesting that they don't interact with other human beings as you call it. It's not blindly embracing anything, instead of sitting in front of a TV, having a list of programs what are on at that time, and not having any interest in them, I have a huge list of programs and films I can watch at whatever time I like, pause them when I like. I'd suggest me being able to decide when I want to watch something, instead of having the program tell me when I have to watch it suggests I have more of a life than you seem to think. Who am I to question who has a life and who doesn't? I have 70 odd posts in 6 years, you have nearly 15,000 in 3 and a half.

Sure it's a serious problem, but so is ignorance. If you are that dense to take whatever adverts tell you as the truth, then god help you. Death is very serious, but so is actually taking a few seconds out of my life to regulate what I eat by actually understanding what is in food, which requires me reading a box, instead of adverts.

Well computers are only work if you don't really know what you are doing on them. I have mine set up with both XBMC/boxee, and I have a proxy I can use to connect to hulu / fox so I can watch American TV shows on demand. All of this I use a regular remote that's smaller than a Sky TV remote, and if I don't want to watch on demand, I can watch freeview and record anything on there too.

Us "geeks" think that using a few brain cells, and hooking up a PC to an actual TV (like my 42" pioneer kuro) are able to watch whatever show we want, and whatever time we want, and mostly in HD. I'm sure if you don't really know what you are doing, and your internet is terrible so you're getting bad quality and slow streaming, and top of that you're using a small monitor then it's going to be no fun.

Plenty of people wear it, go to China or Japan.
