May be an urban myth but heard it chewed over a while back that the US have been experimenting with aircraft that use compressed air for propulsion, and as far back as the 70s. This may account for some 'ufo' sightings.Quote:

Wheeler Dealers - I have been really enjoying it.
Buying old cars doing them up and selling them. A bit cheesy but still good.
Which torrent site did you get that from?Quote:

what is your username there
Yeah that's a good show but it's more like Ramsey's Kiitchen makeovers. There are some absolute horrors that he discovers and he's really brutal with some of the chefs and managers: "Fire your assistant manager. He does nothing here."Quote:

"Hell's Kitchen" is also good: "That looks like a dog's dinner! Get that shit out of here before you're fucking wearing it!"
You should download Ramsey's 'Boiling Point', nice bit of docu work there.

Midsomer Murders
starring John Nettles as Inspector Barnaby and Troy his trusty Sargeant.
Didn't really watch this when living in England, but now I'm here it is nice to see rural England as portrayed in this detective series.
11 series so far, normally 8-11 epsidodes of 100 mins each. 1998 - 2007.
TPB & Mininova have all the torrents.
Manufacturing Consent (Noam Chomsky)
A documentary about Noam Chomsky, a linguistic genius who became a political activist through his understanding of language. It's a very long documentary, very articulate, with a lot of historical footage. A bit long, with 3 parts of 1 hour, but great to watch.
It was interesting to learn about a bit more about this man, often demonized by right wing facist movement like the Bushies,
His ideas are quite interesting, and his fundamental leap from language structure to political manipulation is a logical one IMO.
A must see,
B5 was absolute shite.Quote:

Geisha Girl
A 15-year old Japanese girl decides to become a geisha, so she leaves her family and friends and goes to Kyoto where she undergoes training. The doco films her journey and her parent's and friends reactions to her decision. Pretty good - a very good look at the life of the geisha (there are only about 800 left in Kyoto).
^
do you have a link for that?

CMN I don't have the time to download movies and such, but would like to set myself up for it when I stop work - as you said you never miss UBS.
I was wondering about the security of my system if left on all day for others to "leech" from, is it safe?
You seem the most knowledgable on this, any advice would be welcome.
Because anything less than 480p looks pish on a big LCD.Quote:
