    Anyone know if you can see what's available on Netflix before signing up? I just want to watch one series and then quit but if it's not up yet there's no point joining now.

    And can you choose audio streams? I don't want to watch everything dubbed into French

    Sometimes there is a month free trial. If not, let me know what you are looking for and I'll check.

    A Mexican comedy called club de cuervos, season two. It's a Netflix original I think. If you see it n there can you check if it's possible to have the original audio and a choice of soundtracks?

    Months free trial is still there. Wife signed up on Tuesday night past. We sat down to watch Peaky Blinders and good old Virgin Media had no Internet coverage. Well worth the small fortune we give them every month for "high speed" internet access.

    I'm seeing 2 seasons. Think the second was only added today.
    Spanish is the only audio option and there's English, English (CC) and French subtitles.

    http://unogs.com/ tells you all the shows and movies available on all the Netflix around the world.

    If you are only interested in the Irish one you can change the selected country to only show you the Irish ones.

    If you want to see if a certain movie/tv show is available in any Netflix location then select all countries. I'll leave how you view that countries content up to yourselfs ;)

    My thoughts are with the honest Russian athletes. You can count them on the fingers of one hand ravaged by frostbite and dry gangrene.

    The new "trip to spain" with Brydon and Coogan.

    I can't wait for this. The Italian one was magnificent.

    Dunno too much about boxing, but NZ has the new WBO heavyweight champion (Joseph Parker).

    Is this the most prized heavyweight title, or are there others??

    There's 6 titles, one of them vacant.

    Anthony Joshua (a Brit) is fighting tonight (same card as Katie Taylor). There's also Wilder (an American) and Tyson Fury (a nutjob).

    Joshua is expected to win tonight and he's already agreed to fight Wladmir Klitschko next year, they'd be two bigger names than Parker at the moment.

    Basically though, boxing is broken and none of the champions are the champion.

    When's the last time Fury fought? Saw a picture of him recently, "Out of shape" doesn't even begin describe it.

    It looks like the "big names" down the years were more WBC or WBA. I was vaguely aware there was no one universal title, but NZ websites will blow this out of perspective, and I have no idea whether WBO is something big or the poor man's title...?

    I don't think any of them are poor man's titles really. But they're also not worth what they used to be (on their own). Tyson Fury had multiple titles and was the previous champion before the Kiwi but he was stripped of that title because he's a nutter.

    Unfortunately the sport is full of people padding their records and there's nothing forcing them to fight one another so you end up with what we have currently where there's multiple champions and they're all undefeated and they're petrified to fight one another because one defeat kills their magical undefeated status. Then they become champions and they end up just taking the easiest possible fight they can take while still making money. The biggest thing killing the sport in my opinion and one of the reasons everyone was watching MMA instead this year. I think boxing will eventually need to copy their model somehow and bring in independent matchmaking.


    I was, until something came up last night, going to be at the Joshua fight tonight. That should be very entertaining I think.

    Starting to get into the Swiss way of life in winter: kids are currently out skating on the outdoor ice rink, night-time sledding followed by fondue and mulled wine might be next and then I could even cave into peer pressure and invest in skiing gear. If only I could reclaim my youth...

    I really tried to get the hang of skiing but I was just utterly hopeless. I couldn't even make it down a green slope. Not sure if it's age or genetics but I won't be caught on skis again.
