I don't know how I managed without my Foxtel for so long now, not being able to see the GSs and TMS would be hard I think!

I'm planning this week to upgrade my broadband speed to the 2nd lowest level too so hopefully I'll be able to get better livestream quality. It's useless trying to watch anything atm because it always rebuffers continuously

Is it very expensive then to have a fast connection in Australia?

Yes, he was awesome and very athletic!
And I liked it that they also gave their 2nd goal keeper the chance to taste the action at the end of the match

They aren't talking about losing the TMS rights so I'm safe on that regard. But I thought I was for all GSs before and look what happened. It's already them who had been broadcasting Wimbledon. But that didn't bother me too much. But now, it's different. The French Open is the only one I can get now. I have a small hope concerning German stations. If the ones I get have the rights for those events, I might be able to watch a bit. But I admit I had never wondered about that before so I don't know.

YES

It is going to cost me $60 a month for 10gb download for the 1.5mbps speed.

At the moment I have the 256mbps broadband speed and it's $50... I have 15gb download with that per month.

If I want to go to higher than that It's going to be way too much for me to afford with my pay tv each month so I really hope it will be fast enough for the streams or there will be no point in me getting it I guess

Fast connection with a 60GB download volume costs me 35€/month

Internet is stupidly expensive in Australia, the worst in the 1st world.

I have to get back to work tomorrow and I don't feel like it

Choupi, the entry list has been released. If I guessed rightly, seven are the guys whose the flesh and hair you'll have the great joy to see all round. Ooops, does PHM count? If so, then they are eight. Lucky you.

**Action Jackson** · 08-28-2008, 08:35 AM

Hope the gnome has survived going back to work.

One of my friends is going overseas for a while, looks like I might have his computer while he's away.

Choupi · 08-28-2008, 11:26 AM

Don't worry, I have survived going back to work. But the same asshole is still in the place and he's still driving us mad. So, when I come back home, I don't feel like doing anything. I don't even think about turning on the pc.

Getta, I just checked the Entry List and you were right. I feel blessed!!

Marcos, Calleri, Schwank, Chucho,Willy, Seppi, Paulo....will I be able to chase them all?

Hope you're all fine

You do like Llodra, don't you? I counted you faithful to him.

Well, now at least I have the time to post here

And it's friday, so my weekend starts in 2hrs

This is the reason why I always start working again on a wednesday after my holidays.
Like that I can start with a "short" week and this helps to get over it

martine2 · 08-29-2008, 09:14 AM

Another reason to look forward to the weekend is that I'm getting another puppy tomorrow

which will bring my number of dog kiddies to 6!

**Action Jackson** · 08-29-2008, 09:29 AM

The ATP calendar sucks even more than usual, really these guys couldn't an organise an orgy in a brothel with a truckload of 100 Euro or US Dollar bills.

Loving the pages loading on MTF, just classy.
