{quote} Not unless you buy a new 4k TV with it all built in. The stick is only about 30, but it runs off your wifi, which I don't like, so I have the box which is about 70 and you plug your ethernet cable into it. I'm not happy with wifi running rampant around the house especially when streaming lots of data, so I tend to use ethernet cables. Amazon is brilliant though; loads of films, programmes, games and kids' stuff. The kids love the films. Incidentally the 4k TVs use ethernet cables, not wifi.
Thanks

In the light of the Brexit vote they might just do that.

Look at it as Labour's gift to the new US administration ROFL. Abbott is just a Trotsky nut job. She wouldn't have a job if it were not for the fact that she was Corbyn's bed fellow

I am getting the sense that May got in over head, and is still trying to find her footing in very tumultuous seas. Farage may have to save the day again, because there seems like there is no one else with common sense who is willing to speak up on behalf of the best interests for Britain.

Just seen The Grand Tour. Wow, simply wow. Thunder, you have got to get that. I promise you it is right up your street. 1st episode in California, opening scene arriving in 3 Mustangs. Maclaren P1, Porsche 918 and Ferrari going crazy on a track in Portugal and great banter as usual especially taking the piss (nicely of course) out of the yanks even though they're vastly outnumbered, lol.

May got in because everybody else stood back. In the absence of a leader (Cameron ) there was a need to fill the void.

I think May has her head screwed on alright, she carefully avoided taking Brexit or Bremain side until after the vote was known, and then she said that the will of the people must be respected. Also she has attempted to quell the uncertainty by saying 'we are doing this..' even if the road might be rocky.

The House of Commons is not a useful place to make policy, it is a hyena's den. You should watch it some time (live Parliament TV), it really makes you wonder why we have a government.....

partly because after the war we had a huge war debt hangover from fighting hitler and Japan for 6 years, partly because money was prioritised to welfare, partly because America effectively subsidise EU defence via NATO and we have turned into leeches, and partly because it is now looked down on to spend money on the military

Oh I have no doubt about May and her intelligence, I was more referring to her experience and the timing of her elevated position. If I am understanding this correctly, is that her chances of survival to win a general election stands at 50/50 correct?

It is too early for me to call an election vote.

JC is still new, but has a lot of public support it seems after winning the Labour Party leadership with an even bigger vote on the second run. His downfall will be if somebody asks him about the use of nukes in any scenario. Michael Foot lost because he said he would not fire back if there were incoming missiles, Thatcher said 'yes of course I would, who would stand bye doing nothing while their family is obliterated'. Game over....

TM has a little more credibility to establish, IMHO. She has been Home Secretary for quite a while and therefore not a novice, but this Brexit situation is going to be a test for anyone, it has fallen to her. After the budget statement today and a couple more months into the Brexit path it will become easier to see what might happen. If we went to the polls today there might be dead-lock.

It does look like its a mess at the present moment, and by that alone, trading the currency is a risky proposition at best. Not ever knowing what news will rock the markets with this hanging over like some dark cloud, it makes for rough sailing. I think maybe after Trump takes office, perhaps she will take her cue and be strengthen with our support, especially if they can foster a good working relationship and negotiate a solid bilateral trade deal, despite the EU's fear mongering.

Once there were the three wise monkeys who were Top Gear, until one day, the big wise monkey (Jeremy Clarkson) punched a producer because there was no hot food, specifically steak. Instead the BBC had the audacity to offer a cold buffet after a long, hard day's filming. Incidentally, this is the same Jeremy Clarkson who punched Piers Morgan on a flight. Somehow I don't believe in either case it could have been much of a punch because he is like a potato on sticks. So, the BBC promptly sacked Jeremy Clarkson, but as he was nearing the end of his contract anyway, you have to wonder how much of it was a ploy... The other two followed and left the BBC too. The BBC then hired a squeaky, ginger flasher who got car sick and Matt LeBlanc to front Flop Gear.

Well, in step Amazon with a big, fat wallet and carte blanche to do what the hell they like. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/on-demand/2016/11/18/the-grand-tour-episode-one-tweaked-bbc-noses-and-other-five-talk/

Found this, but you have to put up with the small picture and crap sound. I think they've done it to get around the copyright issues.

...and the same producer who had a run-in with Tim Wonnacott (?sp) and as a result Bargain Hunt now features some other compére. So either it was a ploy to reduce the budget-spend, or maybe there is a soon-to-be-out-of-a-job producer lurking.

He punches someone over food? Really? If true the guy has some issues, or either he is a primadiva! Piers Morgan now I can understand that, I probably would punch him myself, he's that annoying. Although I can not condone violence, so I would have to restrain myself from such actions.
Burning man! The event that went to the elites.


Love it! Mustang forever!

I will try to find out a bit more about this event, it is possible that the producer was also coming the big 'I am'. If you look at some of the places they have been filming it is quite possible that they were out in the middle of nowhere and suffering at the end of a day.

You have to understand that people absolutely love Jeremy Clarkson and he can do no wrong. He is unapologetically non-PC. The BBC, who have to have a certain quota of gays, lesbians, blacks and Muslims etc. could not contain him so you wonder how much of the "fracas" was staged. It all seems rather coincidental.

Would you let me drive your Mustang...... (round a track)?

Still I am not sure I would have punched someone for that, then again my threshold is different as I would rough it out and look to live off the land if it came to that. Piers Morgan on the other hand, well, that guy was practically booted out of America for using his show as a platform for his anti gun agenda. He comes off as this sleezey metro sexual wimp, all with the double standards. I am glad he's your problem now. Lol!

Yeah the Mustang I sold a while back in favor a new version Saleen 2015, although I lament about it because I like that body style, but I am pretty happy with the one I have now. When I get a chance I will post some pics of it. The p51 is a rebuilt, and I share it with my uncle in ownership. Soon I hope to buy his share out, as he is thinking about acquiring a junior Electra Lockheed, which is a pretty sweet plane too, but requires multi Engine certification, which I don't have. Longer range is nice to have.
