  1. Hey all,

    I know there are some tech-geeks amongst you guys, so figured I would throw out this question.

    Basically looking for a Freeview HD box with iPlayer/4oD capability and the ability to hook-up to my home network so I can stream my downloaded video files onto my TV.

    This is the closest I've found to what I want at a reasonable price, but it doesn't do iPlayer/4oD

    Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated!!

  2. Ok so I have finally (partially) left the world of singledom, catch being that the girl I am head over heels for is Korean and lives in Seoul :S Met on an extended holiday a few months back and instantly hit it off and had a 3 week thing. Have been talking most days online since then, have purchased a webcam for skype-age and I was in Korea visiting her for the last two weeks.

    She is hoping to come to London early next year to improve her English and stay with me, but after that it remains unclear whether she can (a) find a job, (B) get the requisite visa

    She is really keen on travelling in Europe, so living in London would make that simple - I want to make it happen but am not really sure where to look for jobs for a fluent Korean speaker with what I would guess is upper intermediate level English. Can anyone think of any ideas? She is not really interested in office work which makes the impossible task even more impossible. I was hoping there's some kind of Korean specific UK tour company but can't seem to find anything.

  3. Hey all,

    I'm basically looking for a high res copy of the Reading or Leeds poster from 2003. Gonna use this to make myself a t-shirt - it was my first Reading but never got a tee and would like one (and not some minging 2nd hand one from someone else :blink: )

    So does anyone know where I can get something like this? A quick Google search has brought no joy

    Any help would be extremely appreciated!

  4. Don't know a fair few of those bands (aside from Capdown, Descendents, Flogging Molly, Street Dogs, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Hot Water Music).

    Who are the best of the rest? Not interested in any hardcore/ott pop-punk/emo if there's any there.

  5. I've gone Green Day and Rage. Green Day in '04 (was it '04?) were fantastic - in part thanks to 50 Cent getting bottled off and them, as a result, having a ~3 hour set.

    Only went to 2 Reading/Leeds in the latter part of the period but, of those, Rage were easily the most entertaining headliner. Coming out in their Guantanamo get-up made it memorable and they had great energy.

    Can't say I'm expecting any of this years headliners to be even close to those performances.

  6. The cancellation was a f**king joke, it came way too late. There were people sitting outside the venue who'd flown from Italy, Spain, France, or train'd it from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle etc etc. I made a two hour trip and the first I knew about it was when I got to the venue at 8pm.

    Props to Teenage Bottlerocket for putting on an excellent consellation show on at the New Cross Inn. I and a few others just managed to make it in time. Hopefully we'll see them on the Lock Up this year as well. They deserve it.

    Obviously it can't be helped if Milo has blown his voice, but after blowing it three songs in last night, and then cancelling at 6pm tonight? WTF?
