Snapzzz,
Why can't they put the internet through a Sky dish? It would be very handy for me if they could. We are a very long way from the exchange and the only option for us at the moment to increase our internet speed would be to pay for our own internet satellite dish, which is pretty expensive :cry:

Ally,

The problem is that dishes are just like aerials...they receive only. Thats your download.
But how do you tell the internet what you would like to download? That is upload. And upload is not possible by 'sky' dishes as they are receive only....no transmit.

So even with satelite internet you need that upload link which is generally by a phone line (slow) or by a VERY expensive dish that transmits.

If sky could offer broadband by dish they would have by now for sure. Sorry

Mr Snappy the resident TV/Telephone expert solved all my woes anyway ;)

Are you sky bound?

and he has an iMac and does not get out himself ;)

Maybe he should swap his iMac for a pac-a-mac to enable him to go out more. 8)

Get an iLife.

I like to see what the resorts look like without snow. I find it quite interesting

Maybe Icey can help you with some diet suggestions :twisted:

I don't eat Mini Eggs or Barms.

That's not very helpful.

Trust me, i have your best interests at heart.


Anyway, i did step two of my running app today, you do three days a week that suits my working pattern.
I have to say that today was so much easier than Monday which is strange because i wouldn't have thought that it would have made that much difference.

If its your waistline your worried about, Snapzzz, you need to change your lifestyle. Simple as that.

That is exactly what i am trying to do!
I don't eat crisps very often and i cannot remember the last time i bought a bar of choc. I rarely drink coke and the likes either, i just think that it is lack of exercise that is killing me.

I work late (8-7) three days a week which means i tend to just have an hour on the sofa after dinner before bed. On my days off i have been lounging about as my working week zaps me so i never get any real exercise.
My weight has been pretty constant at around 13 to 13.5st for the last four years but I'm feel like i am carrying just a few too many pounds as my clothes feel a little tight.
I am thinking that if i get out a little more and work out every now and then i can keep my diet pretty much the same.

thoughts?

No

But if you can't or don't want to cut out the wine then a few hours of exercise each week will help combat that??
