Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Just signed up to a free 3 month's offer from Lovefilm.com, will probably pay 5.99 per month for the 2 DVD's option , press report's that Amazon will buy them out.
Anybody on here signed up ?

I am Aldwickk, but I've not been very impressed with it. - Have had an awful lot of faulty discs, they send you a replacement, but it's frustrating to start watching a film, only to have it refuse to play half way through. Tried to watch Godfather 2 the other day, only got 30 minutes in before it gave up, glad I wasn't a lot further into it though.

found this review site.
http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/internet-sites/lovefilm-com/1341249/
One thing that bothers me is that one reviewer said he had trouble playing the DVD's because they paste a paper lovefilm.com sticker on the DVD. my player says that these shouldn't be played.
Do they have their name pasted on ?

when my grandpa recovered from his beach ordeal he found he was on a desert island.
well, all that is, apart from the cannonballs who lived there.
he was there for 3 new moons, in darkness, and 3 full moons in light, before he came across them.well,he told me, he didnt have a watch with him so how else could he tell the time or record the days? i never thought of that before.
and then he saw them.the cannonballs.or rather they saw and found him for they already had the pot boiling.
to be continued
regards

cannonballs are not alive , they are round iron ball's fired from a cannon. Your grandpa must have been still in shock from his ordeal.

aldwick, I had a limited number of DVDs on a fee that was paid by a relative, you got a certain number of DVDs for a fixed fee. Anyway I had a couple of DVDs for over a year before I remembered about them, sent them in and in the next post there's the next one I'd ordered and forgotten about!!
There were no reminders to send the films back, but if I'd been paying a monthly fee I'd have got them back quickly.

Aldwickk,
I haven't had a problem with the love film label, the discs are just very badly scratched most of the time.We watch a lot of old classics, so maybe that has something to do with it. On the few occassions we have had films shortly after they have been released to DVD, they look in good condition and we have had no problem playing them. We are going to cancel our sub once all credits have been used up since we have recieved so many faulty discs. Interesting to hear your story Seymour, as I did wonder how long you could keep them before they started asking for them back. We've sometimes forgotten about them for a month or two.

Due to a water shortage in Ireland , Dublin swimming baths have announced they are closing lanes 7 and 8.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thought I would chance a visit as the name F**d (can't bring myself to spoil it by putting the name in full) appears to be absent.
Read this morning that Pfizer are closing their 'Viagra' research facility in Kent.
A union spokesman said they should expect stiff opposition.
A company spokesman said that it was a hard decision.

I think the reason that F**d is absent is that when he post's people don't reply to his post , but simply just change the subject.

Perhaps, he is not interested in those trapped in the Anal Retentive phase of development.
