The All Blacks have some serious problems this year. Hard to say exactly what it is but they are in poor form. :(

Now I move over to F1 for that fiasco going on this afternoon. :banghead:

I guess the Autumn Championship is dead to me - back to Sense8.

Far from the "Bag of shite" you infer BB - I've found it to be a literal God send when working overseas. Perhaps the set up you have in HH, or perhaps due to the fact that Amazon have the rights and are shutting down outside links?

As per previous posts, Amazon offer a "freebie" for the month - have you tried that? Just remember to cancel before the end of the month!! :thumb:

Keep Calm and remember you don't have the UK weather or Covid Cr@p..... :D

Now that I think about it, I did initially have some problems with buffstreams with the VPN set to Asia (or Singapore), but since I changed the location to America it's been flawless.

I've just tried again, and got there eventually. The game is over now, so I'll stay with Sense8. I'll try it again for the next game.

Having not bothered with the Prediction League this time around as results were simply a forgone conclusion...... :shock:

I'm really looking forward to this one! :thumb:

As for Fiji having to forfeit matches due to the Corona Virus - very sad, but what the hell?! Somewhat lacking with precautions somewhere! And why weren't they in Wales' group - at least it would've given us a win!! :oops: :cry:

[EDIT] And it's the win you wanted for Italy Pete - hardly the way we or Italy would have wanted it though....

Just been watching last night's football highlights, and my TV laptop is riddled with Buffstreams crap. The basic stuff won't clear it, so I shan't use Buffstreams again as for me, it is more trouble than it's worth. At least real rugby (Bristol) returns this weekend, so I'll get trouble free viewing via Rugby Pass, and the cherry on top, it's an 8pm K.O.

Of course, until I get rid of the Buffstreams crap, I might have to use a different device.
