NJS

I used to use a vpn/proxy I got with giganews but they suspended my account for downloading copyrighted material via BT. This would have been TV and films as they had no problem with the terabytes of porn I downloaded from newsgroups. After a couple of suspensions I dropped the entire account. This suggests they were monitoring the actual use of the proxy which defeats the point. I'm not sure regarding Kodi as I only stream rather than download - not sure if they care.

As Rayvin suggests, the terms have become a bit misused. Businesses use VPNs to use the Internet to be able to login in to an internal network remotely with associated encryption and controls. Proxy servers use the concept of me connecting to a server in Sweden or wherever so I can use the pirate bay without interference. I suppose the term could be used as the login to the remote server is probably via a VPN but it's the subsequent IP masking that's the main aim rather than the login. Clearer Renton?

I use NordVPN for downloading - works well - about £2 pm.

Yeah that was when she gave her "you're all fucking shit" bit and Jon advised her to use the dragons better tactically. Jon and Davos then walked down the steps later meeting Missasndei along the way before meeting Theon.

Just watched it again and I was talking shite - Jon told Theon the Queen was gone - Tyrion must have travelled with the Dothraki.

I think Sansa, though she has had a hard journey, is reverting a little bit to the girl at the start who was a self-centred brat who wants to be the centre of attention. I also think they're answering questions about Bran's creepiness by selling the idea he isn't Bran anymore with the "you died in that cave" line.

It doesn't spoil my enjoyment - I just find it a bit jarring.

Having him at the battle was fine (in the context of the Dothraki being there as well) - but he was on the beach when Theon arrived and told him she'd gone.

Enjoyed the Arya stuff and I'm all for exciting action but the teleportation thing is getting beyond a joke now. Even if we overlooked the Dothraki transportation, having Tyrion be on the beach to tell them the queen's gone and still have him overlooking the battle was fucking stupid.

They're a much better band without him but the lyrics aren't as good.

Pre-season friendly and they're still diving and play acting like cunts - I suppose they need to sharpen those skills too

I overheard a couple of Spurs fan on the train earlier in the week slighlty moaning that they hadn't signed anyone but them moved on to Sissoko with "what the fuck was he thinking signing that load of shit" - couldn't help bursting out laughing.

Incidentally I'm assuming Jaime didn't know what Cersei had done to the Sands before letting her get her lips around his chopper.

My reading of the trailer was they made have their first victory by way laying the delivery of the Tyrell gold to the bank, leaving the Lannisters broke.

I'm getting the feeling they're desperate to finish it as quickly as possible so they can get on to the spin-offs. This 7/6 episode thing is wrong - a normal 10 ep season would have allowed a lack of these glaring timeline anomalies. It reminds me a bit of Babylon 5 which was meticulously written to last 5 years but because of a cancellation threat too much was crammed into S4 and then S5 had to be filled out a bit after it was confirmed. This meant S4 was a breakneck fantastic ride but overall it was too quick with the same kind of timeline jumps.

Read something about Cersei /Jaime knowing Tyrion too well and knowing he'd give a shit about Casterly rock when they don't - makes sense. Bran was a fucking creep like.

Tuscany? Parky/Chez territory.

SLP?

Was it Manc-Mag who had the obsession with symmetrical breasts and labia?

I presumed the little birds were just King's Landing and I was going to say he knew what was going on regarding Dany earlier but then remembered that was Jorah I still think they should have realised that intelligence is a key part of warfare.

Nice to see the easy procession lo victory laid out by Tyrion isn't going to happen though I think conveniently ignoring the fact that Varys should have had better intelligence about Euron and Jon was a bit glaring. Otherwise all good.

My sister had a soda stream - they were crap - the pop wasn't properly enfizzied.

Crawling was and is a fantastic song but overall they were a bit too nu-metally for me. Shame about Chester though - RIP.

Just finished Westworld - not quite the masterpiece it's made out to be but very good. Approaching the end I thought it was another "should be just one season" job but there is scope to continue the philosophical side but they're going to have to have a different format rather than just the looping mechanism of the first one.

Thing is pensions have always been a bit iffy - the everage life expectancy of males used to be roughly 67 so on average you got two years in retirement before dying. It's gone up a bit (now stalled) but its still not great in releation to 65 let alone 68. Another thing is they use annuities on private pensions based on death at a hundred so 35 years currently - very few blokes live that long so its pretty much a rip-off.
