Operation Download

Unauthorized Copies


If you read my blog, you come to the inevitable conclusion I enjoy watching foreign films a lot more than watching UK TV.
This concept brings with it a multitude of problems; mainly there are few DVDs available with subtitles - especially from Mexico and Scandinavia - Netflix is great for watching, but if I wish to buy some of the films from India I like I need to download them as I have found it almost impossible to buy them. 

I wish sellers on eBay would specify in the ad for the film if it has subtitles, it only takes a few seconds to add to the advert, and saves the buyer asking the same question several times.

Another reason for me downloading instead of buying the DVDs I wish for is some people charge way too much, in my opinion, for their products. The perfect examples are the Hinge and Bracket sets I would love to buy. The early sets are good value, but the later sets are way over-priced to be considered. Season 3 is £35 for the set (1 DVD), and Season 4 is £45 for the set (1 DVD). 
For one disc, I would pay up to £15, and for £40 pounds I would be happy to pay for 2 discs; these are not the worst case though. I was checking a film I wanted, it is the prequel to one I bought several months ago. The film is from India, and 20 years old; the only copy for sale is being sold at £40.

A SUCCESS
This afternoon, I was able to download the first part of the two-part thriller I wanted.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

Warhammer Limited Edition books for sale

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
