The Tivo Effect

It's what happens when you're watching a film and you happen (whilst FFing) to spot a promo for the final season of 'Smallville' and think "hang on, hasn't that been shown already?" then you remember you're watching a film you recorded in May 2011

I couldn't agree more Itshim. Never seen the point of football. Personally, if it doesn't have wheels and an engine then it's not for me

Motor bikes, yes love it ,rallying not bad . F1 leaves me cold.
