Compared with other continents i'd have to agree but as for free to air, its chalk and cheese.We get Foxtel offshore and I've got to say it's probably the worst satellite/cable network I've ever experienced. Foxtel shows are full of ads, 90% of the non-sports channels are reality TV drivel (often terrible locally-made povvo crap) and even the sports channels have managed to sneak in a few shitty reality shows of their own (I'm looking at you, Fuel TV). As for the mainstream entertainment channels like Fox 8, they are actually WORSE than the likes of Seven, Nine and Ten.
Compared to the amount of channels and content you get on cable in the US and Europe, Foxtel is an absolute joke and an incredibly overpriced one at that.
And worst of all? you can't watch the bloody F1 on it!
I dunno whether I should ban you for that piece of blasphemous filth or leave you to Dozer!F1 is the most boring racing to watch though, its the same crap every week.
F1 used to be good until they destroyed it with safety. Remember when a fuelling strategy could win or lose the race?I dunno whether I should ban you for that piece of blasphemous filth or leave you to Dozer!

That was easy ................... :behindsofa:I remember the in-race refueling days very well. Absolutely no overtaking on track whatsoever and every race was usually a procession led by an arrogant German.
It shits me to tears whenever folk cry on about bringing back refuelling. They've got the worst case of rose-tinted glasses ever. There's way more overtaking on track these days thanks to DRS and KERS/ERS and the like. Mercedes might be dominating things (and I've not yet seen this mornings race from Austin and I'm on 'restricted media' until I watch it tonight (ad-free!) so no spoilers!) but there's been some fantastic racing further down the pack this season and even Mercedes were treating us to some great wheel-to-wheel battles until Nico lost his nerve.
Also fuelling has nothing to do with safety. It was stopped because of cost reasons and seeing as two F1 teams have just gone under and a couple more are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, I can't see it being brought back any time soon.
I won't lie, F1 definitely has serious issues at the moment but they are all off-track.
Moorey knows a good mouthwash.What the fuck! I've still got that horrible aniseed taste in my mouth. I'm starting to panic!
White shirt secret...never wear it. That way it will always he white.How does anyone possibly own a white shirt with out it getting covered in stains? 3 white shirts purchased a week ago, all now with stains. I even napisaned the bastards straight away!
Face it, he doesn't want to destroy the magic.Hemorrhoids... ...Doctor wouldn't even take a peek.
Wife was away with the kids for 11 days. Ate a lot of protein in their absence. Feel your pain bro.Hemorrhoids. I'm not even 40 for christs sake. Doctor wouldn't even take a peak, then signed me up for a colonoscopy 'cause there is a family history of bowel cancer.
Stay tuned for more rear end 'LTIH' .
Yep that's the worst of a night I have a min to get from platform 8 in (Sydney) at strathfield to flatform 3 so when the driver decides to leave earlier it's really sucks waiting 35 min for the next coast train.When the 7:13am train is at the station, current time is 7:11am, screen says departing in two minutes and as myself and two other people are walking along the platform to the said train, the Grinch driver toots the horn and departs the platform. Prick. Complaint email sent, awaiting a response :Cry:. Ever the optimist I was 17 minutes early for the next one.
I'm frightened to ask. It would be vegan right though? My idea of a great mouthwash is roast beef gravy with the onions still in it.....:happy:Moorey knows a good mouthwash.
Do you feel cheated? I'd ask for few second opinions.... :behindsofa:Hemorrhoids. I'm not even 40 for christs sake. Doctor wouldn't even take a peak, then signed me up for a colonoscopy 'cause there is a family history of bowel cancer.
Stay tuned for more rear end 'LTIH' .
The only reason I was thinking of getting Foxtel next year was to watch the F1 - I thought it was broadcast through Sky Sports or something?We get Foxtel offshore and I've got to say it's probably the worst satellite/cable network I've ever experienced.

I have a bus-stop at the end of my street, probably 50m from my front door, which I take the bus from to get to Uni. The amount of times I've rocked up at 8:00 only to look down the street and see the 8:04 bus has already gone past makes me so pissed off.When the 7:13am train is at the station, current time is 7:11am, screen says departing in two minutes and as myself and two other people are walking along the platform to the said train, the Grinch driver toots the horn and departs the platform.
