Ingram85 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Missus is watching her murder programs and it’s just gone to an ad break and it’s all Irish adverts. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn’t expecting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Edit wrong thread But I typed it because I wanted to say I watched bosch legacy on that amazon freebee app or whatever its called Absolute garbage as a media player, the ads were constantly out of sync knocking out the subtitles or worse resulting in it skipping 10 seconds to catch itself up Edited August 17, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't watch it being in the former Socialist Republic of Bulgaria, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 i've thought about it a lot because of the different rights in each country its weird what isnt available on various streaming platforms in germany, UK netflix has far more content but then at the same time im already using kodi to pick up all the HBO stuff my issue is subtitles for the wife, she feels more comfortable with them on if we watch something in english - but then this new amazon app the subtitles didnt work anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about Bosch Legacy but tbh, living in Bulgaria I'd just get me a dodgy firestick and watch whatever you want, no-one will give a shite if you're in Bulgaria EDIT: and that includes pretty much EVERY Villa game live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Does anybody ever get the urge to want to have a full body health check? With all the cancer awareness and stuff thrown in your face every day I'd be lying if I said my anxiety wasn't 'flaring' thinking about it. I've not got any symptoms of illness or anything, but I just keep thinking "What if?" and a part of me, for peace of mind more than anything, would like to have ALL THE SCANS to find out. I've lost 2 people in the past 2 months to cancer, and my Granddad was given months last October - so I think it's just a bit close to home at the mo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it’s a real thing but I remember seeing on scrubs or some other American show that they were offering full body scan to check the entire body for illnesses. Might have been made up for the show or possibly something you can pay for in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've thought about that a lot but then how do you even get one and how often would you need it? Cancer could be dealt with in most cases if caught early enough, I hate the thought of people just walking round with this avoidable ticking timebomb.

She must have had some symptoms for them to have done a head scan as they dint usually do that on a regular checkup. Glad she is ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
