I'm finding it hard to read this thread without taking an antihistamine.
My nose is twitching too. Sounds like Colin is a bit Cool for Cats...

While on his way to kill Laura Palmer, JR was kidnapped by the Three Musketeers, and taken to the Island Elba in the Mediterranean, where he is imprisoned for being a Ham, later to be saved by "The Mad Priest", who helps him escape to Sidewaysland, only to be eaten by polar bears.
And I had no idea how that would finish when I started. No, really.

@Ngaire. Try sidereel.com. Until a few weeks ago I hadn't bothered ether, but now I'm about to watch the latest Doctor Who, and I'm getting a little hooked. They use mainly megavideo.com links, and there's usually an HD version.
Others here probably have better advice, but this worked for me. It does make me wonder why we don't have 'worldwide releases' of TV series now, as we do for many films.
As to Lost, now that those who care have seen it, here's the alternative endings, featuring some unexpected guests, including Bob Newhart. From the sound of it they are more popular than the actual.

Yip, it's sure good when you're feeling horny.

Another thing we (I) take for granted - that we can watch amazing short films like this one with little effort.
That is indeed amazing. Thanks.

Best youth hostel ever was in Delphi (Ok it was 1993) and was 300 drachma per night twin share (about $30NZ at the time, from memory). That's what a youth hostel should cost, and the view of the Adriatic Sea didn't hurt.

I don't want to "be in touch with people constantly". That's the whole point. :)
Umm, isn't that kind what PAS is all about too?
You'd love that!
I tweetered out. Something didn't gel. Even after a few attempts. My need to share my daily missives in 140 characters was surpassed by my overwhelming irrelevance, and predisposition for nihilism.
Facebook has enabled some old friendships to maintain regular contact, which is good, and I am pleased they sorted out their privacy stuff, which popped up today.

Bloody true. I've never had - and still don't - a cell phone. Went looking for a pay phone recently, and there weren't any.
*cough* Really?
Oh, lor--there are now two of us.
*gulp* You're both officially my heroes. Or anti-heroes. Or something.
Well done, I guess. Is it the internet that has enabled you not to have cell phones, but still be in touch with people constantly?
Do you Skype? Just as a matter of interest.

Actually, thinking about what the Net empowers, a more obvious story is that this morning I streamed Paul Weller live at The Royal Albert Hall through The Concert Channel, and both the sound and video quality were quite unexpectedly good, even at the lowest bandwidth (I prefer a small drop on quality to having constant caching interruptions).
Since found out he is playing here later in the year, but it was still great to have this running through the stereo during breakfast.
I'd give a vote for YouTube also. There's just so much to see. The latest X-51a scramjet motor was my last hit.

Here's to all the ageing raw HTML coders who still get frustrated when WYSIWIG editors make multiple nested tables for every damn table cell, when a simple <tr><td> tag combo would suffice.
Here's also to all those coders who once they changed jobs in the late nineties have forgotten just about everything, and have to use WYSIWIG editors to code paragraphs.
Style sheets? That's a fashion magazine, right?
And to PAS.
