Foxtel

[Sai]

Im thinking about getting Foxtel soonish. Whats it cost for a decent package with all the sports and some movies? How much are the sub channels with all the fights on?

I think its a bit different over here to back in the UK. In the Uk the basic package is cheap, but you get fuck all good channels. All the decent channels you want are segmented with loads of shit you dont want so you need to buy like 8 blocks of shit channels to get the stuff you want at which point you are paying more for the subscription than you spend on rent.

Whats the scene here then?

[Marcus]

I get the base package and sports. costs me like $55 a month.

You can get the movies but fuck mate, how much time do you want to spend on your ass watchin tv??

I find if you get too much to watch you do fuck all around the house.

Do you get much boxing with that, or are there other boxing packages? The movies arent too much of a big thing personally as I dont really watch that much TV but my bird does. Also it saves on renting DVDs that I never remember to take back when I do want to watch something.

fuck, do you have to pay the same price as the US or are they cheaper?

[Kegsy]

fuck, do you have to pay the same price as the US or are they cheaper?Most boxing PPV's are $40.

Well if you like watching movies and you do hire them, you would probaly save money getting movies.

Get sports and you get new boxing/kickboxing and MMA about 5 times a week for a average week.

I get most of the PPV, its add up mate, but if you can have a few friends to come over and throw in $5 as i do its not too bad :good

I dont think i would earn what you boys do on the manlaind. Tassie suxs like that but living here is cheaper.

But i have just got a good pay rise, about $120 extra take home each week so im happy as!!

Went straight out and brought 5 new tyres for my 4x4!!

673

[huricn]

i get most ppv. i usually invite a couple of mates around and one will get the beer one will get the seafood and one will pay for the ppv. and we just take turns in doing that

[Marcus]

Nice!! I love good seafood. My mate works on a Ab farm.... so i eat lots of that.

What do you eat? Its not cheap hey !!

[huricn]

but i like crab and lobsters, wests tiger bugs. and i love cooking snapper on the BBQ:good

[Big Red Meat Axe]

The more important question is why you have a picture of Steve Clark as your avatar...?

i thought he done such a great job in the tigers game the other night he has earned it.

if i knew how to photo shop i would have said some nice thing on it

[Kegsy]

Otherwise fights just on sky ringside like Lovemore's last fight, i normally head to the Greenwood Tavern in the West & buy a quality breakfast.:deal

[huricn]

if u ever come to sydney u can come over for a BBQ and we will get shit faced and talk about what a tosser barge is

[Marcus]

Kegsy? What do you spend you money on? Do you live at home still? Man i used to blow all my money when i was living at home.

So whats your hobbies apart form boxing mate?

[Sai]

Something Ive been thinking about, but its not worth its own thread.

I need some sports teams in Oz to support. Im a massive sports fan, both league and Union and Ive really been getting into AFL since coming out here.

Ive watched a load of the Swans with a couple of my mates, so they are already covered, but in terms of Union and League Ive still not got a team to call my own. I live in Darlinghurst, so the kind of contact sports they play around here arent my cup of tea. So hook a brother up with someone to support as it makes it all way more fun to watch.

[Kegsy]

Yeah mate im just living at home, spending some of my money on boxing, clothes & different boy toys. All wants rather than needs.:yep

Mate i play soccer at a pretty strong level here in Western Australia & play cricket too.
Spend time with my girlfriend & thats just about all there is to me.

[Sai]

The waratahs are the only Union team I have much knowledge of cos my old flatmate was a big fan and I saw a few games with him, so they are probs the favorite for my affections at the minute.

The only league team I have a connection to is the Rabitohs cos my bosses cousin works there and drops loads of merchandise around. The problem is that Russel Crowe is a cunt and the team look pretty shit :/

I used to spend lots on clothes but iv cut back since buying a house.

Excellent, i love playing soccer, played for like 3 year as a junior but my dad wanted me to play AFL so i changed code at about 10.

What possie you play in soccer? And cricket? Im a good medium pacer, me and the mates play in the nets over summer, mainly trying to bruise each other with the leather case

[Marcus]

I go for the Sharks in both NRL and super 14s :good

[westside]

DONT pay for connection, and get the first month free!!!

its the biggest waste of $150 when you can get it for nothing with all the offers on all the time. I even had to argue with the tart over the phone even though i had the brochure in my hand!!!

Central defender maate, due to my height & strength.
In cricket i used to bat at number 5 & be a fast bowler.
Nothin like hurting a few batsmen with bouncers.

I started cricket last season. Heapsa fun. My batting was disgraceful. Bowling not so bad, but everyone can bowl!

Played a few of seasons of League, but lost fitness so now Im keeping.


PS As Im typing this, fox is saying Choc may not gain full vision of his eye. He seemed pretty devastated, so I'd say the news isnt good!!

Sweet!!! but i could blow by you easy i think :yep

Yeah we dont do many bouncers, dont wear a helmet, so we dont want to kill our mates. plus i do struggle doing a bouncer from a full length pitch.

I still use my old box from Muay Thai, hard as a rock, its taken many front kicks ....ouch

Crowe might be a bit of a tool, but his connection with Souths gives him a concession pass for mine ;)

There was a show on the mighties on the ABC last night. Was pretty good. It's a 6 part series, and will be on every Tuesday at 8pm. You should try and watch it next week. :good

[westside]

souths ? pride of the league? gimme a break.

im not proud of that crap.
