And which player do you use?


Was the question asked on Oink.

91,278 members answered.

Only 288 of them said Real Player.

That's a pretty pathetic number for a company that likes to see itself as being on the cutting edge of multimedia delivery systems. smiley - laugh

Clangers - one to one

After 22 days and 7 hours of seeding the Clangers on TheBox, I have now finally achieved a 1:1 ratio.

This weekend I've been watching ITV4's very fine coverage of Le Tour de France as it wends its way around London and Kent.

At least they won't smell so bad this year

The sky is heavy with dark clouds. There are showers coming down every half hour or so. The temperature is decidedly parky for this time of year.

Therefore the health-freak oafs who insist on blocking up the roads on this day all the way between London and Brighton, with their half-arsed bike race, won't have an excuse for wafting gallons of stale sweat into the air as they huff and puff past my house.






Yeah, it's that time of year again. The time for my annual whinging bike race journal smiley - biggrin
