I'll have the first part in about 2 hours, she tells me. The second part will take longer. Hopefully I'll have it all by midnight!

I had a cousin who had a habit of putting porn in the wrong boxes before sending them to me.

I got both parts off my cousins there earlier today, took em a total of 1 hour to get them to me, must be some seriously good courier service they use.

I used to get them off another cousin that I didnt have to pay anything for but it always took ages to reach me.

Now I've changed to a cousin who uses a different method of getting them to me. I have to pay a few quid for the service but it gets to me in record times.

In a totally unrelated matter - I recently joined a Usenet group and I get download speeds (for totally unrelated and legal content of course) of between 600k and 1000k. Amazing stuff.

Hey Grimesy, is usenet good? Do you find the people are eager to talk about new things? Are old topics archived for long? And are you free to access these historic documents at any time? Do people talk about lots of different things or do they stick with the most popular topics?

I'm always on the lookout for new, interesting things to talk about!

Dont get your ass banned when there's still the finale to discuss!

My d1ckhead of a cousin only sent me part 1 so I had to ask him to send it again, which took 6 feckin hours. My Christmas card to him this year might be a letter bomb.

Right... this just takes the biscuit...

I never liked the cousins analogy... or any other analogy that pretains to downloading...

I've decided (and I'd decided to do this a while ago just hadn't felt the need to until this thread) that any discussion, INCLUDING the cousins analogy will be a bannable offence...

The forum is here to allow you to discuss the episodes, not how long it'll take for you to download, not for you to tell us that you're downloading....

Thread locked, I'm adding it to the stickies...
