[Closed] sometimes you just...( Cirque du Soleil content )

and has informed me we NEED SkyPlus 😯

The power of shite TV eh! Makes fully rational people into slaves to the box.

Errr, will it not be on the BBC iPlayer?

dooos, iPlayer is limited to the UK

Ah, hadn't realised your were in Swiss land

s'ok... you're forgiven 😉

Can you not get Bluewin TV where you are? Or Cablecom?

Obviously, it could be tricky with one days notice..:-)

A possible solution for you.

You will need;
a - A patio
b - A shovel

Iphide I've used that in Spain to listen to football on 5 Live. Just choose a UK option and the BBC website assumes your in the UK. I haven't tried it with I player but it's worth a try.

beanum , cablecom -* no, not where we are

bluewin yes but as you pointed out not within one day

as long as we touch on that.. is bluewin any different really to SkyPlus?

ahh.. thanks avdave!

and Captn I'm prolly a little slow today (today?) but I don't get you.

oh... LMAO.... nevahmind

naw, she's a keeper.

🙂

Tell her its fine, she can stay in to see SCD, you'll just take your mistress ...

to be honest, I don't think anyone with tickets to see Cirque du Soleil can have any argument about what anyone else wants to do with their free time. jebus.

I checked.. she'll be watching Strictly

oh gawd, I hope mrs. doesn't read this.

Grynch - doubtless your good lady will have reached some sort of resolution by now - however.....

In the spirit of Christmas - and Grynch happy matrimony 😀

We're out tomorrow as well so Strictly will be recorded on our Hard Drive / DVD combo things -[i] I'm 90% sure[/i] this means we can dump hard drive stuff onto a disk, which could be posted to Swizzerland. I'll check the destructions for said device when I get home later, this may give you a fall-back position........ 😉

cheers Marsden !!

I'm pretty sure it's all sorted now.. either by IPHide and using BBC iPlayer or another friend here as agreed to tape ( on VHS !! ) for us... but if oyu don't mind holding on to that potential harddrive copy till monday I could drop an email to you ( I think I still have your addy. on file )

no probs - my e-mail addy should be in my profile - MrsMM just confirmed we [s]should be[/s] are able to record over to disk - just need to find the instructions first!!!

ok thanks again... don't fret too much over making a copy as you are second fall back at the moment but I really do appreciate the offer.

Marsdenman, if you think that you're gonna have bother doing the recording, then I can do it if the Grynch so wishes as I've been doing the same for a Swedish friend lately. (Not SCD, btw, that would be sad ... :))

another cheers ! , trademark , shall we see what marsdenman has to say?

again either of you would be the back up to the back up at this point.
( but there would be a nice box of swiss chocs in the deal )

also trademark.. curious.. why the name?

Try this [url= http://thebox.bz/ ]link[/url]

Torrent for UK shows only. Quite popular with expats. That's if they have any login left.

thanks, it's blocked here ( go figure ) but I'll try it at home.

which CDS is it ?

http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/saltimbanco/tickets/geneva.aspx

saltimbanco

have you seen it?

no - but i'm a huge fan.
saw lots of them over the years - they NEVER fail to wow me.

last time they were here was about three years ago.. that was the first CDS show I had seen.. apart from TV.. and yes it really is an amazing show .. I forget which group, which show that was tho.

Sorry for late reply. Bluewin TV is exactly like SkyPlus, you get all the normal channels from the UK (inc BBC HD) but no Sky One etc...
As far as I know you can only get Sky here in Switzerland if you have an address in the UK registered for Sky? I don't.

I could have recorded this for you and copied it to a DVD but I'm in the process of moving apartments and my Bluewin stuff was unplugged in a van on Saturday night... 🙂

We were planning to see the CDS in Geneva as well, but it never happened with moving plans and all the rest... I hope you enjoyed the show.

Hijack

Grynch, you in Geneve? Fancy getting some riding in at some point?

Cheers

nowthen

naw, she's a keeper.

Not according to my missus. Her appraisal of the situation is that divorce would be entirely justified. I shall remind her of this at any opportune moment that arises....

Works better if you don't already have a patio- it just looks plain odd if you dig up the one you already have. Elementary brookside error.

Hi Grynch,
Did or friend sort you our with the videos?
Let me know if not - both shows still sat on the hard drive, and I believe I have located the instructions for transfer to disk 😀

BTW - how was the show - we're thinking of booking for when they hit the UK early next year?
Chris

hiya chris, I couldnt reply yesterday as I was waiting on confirmation but yes.. we are all set with the video but once again thanks for the offer.

the show? have you ever seen them before? it was great but frankly we both thought that the previous time we had seen them was better, but that may have been due to perspective. Previously we had seen them in their own venue.. the big top, but this time was in an arena and you lose a bit of the feeling looking down on them.

all that being said tho again the show was fantastic, and you do leave wondering how humans can do some of the moves they perform.

cheers,
greg

nowthen.. email on the way ( sometime today that is )

No worries Greg, good to hear it's sorted.

CDS - yep seen 'em 4 times now and, agree, their tent is the better venue - saw them at the Albert Hall and it was odd being below them...

Have a great crimbo and new year
C

Thanks and the same to you and mrs. Marsden.

( last day at the office today for me 🙂
