So I suppose sky box office should start offering PPV for free as well? In fact lets extend the principle and ditch top-up tv, and while we're at it pedestrianise the M4 as well shall we? I would respond to this less sarcastically if it hadn't taken me a few mins to understand what you were trying to say from your appalling 'txt' spelling.

Back to the point in hand... the company can charge whatever they like for the PPV - if customers think its too expensive, they won't bother buying, and if no-one buys then they'll reduce the price to stimulate demand.... its called market forces.

NTL are a business. Some of the On Demand content is free. A lot isn't.

Think Druchii's getting mixed up with DarthYoda's post re matty125's age here...

Pia · 01-10-2006, 00:00

I thought Druchii thought Opel asked how old i am rather than how i am

Druchii · 01-10-2006, 00:01

Ah christ. Eyes...

I'm sure it said "How old are you pia?"
Sorry about that

God, what drunken minds people have around here, ha ha ha! I dunno but hell, only saying hello as I haven't been around here for a few months... and how I still long for a trip to the north east (always have), all down to the accent, aaah.... Oh wouldn't say a thread hijack, lol!

EDIT: Just reading back on my original post and can so easily see how an extra word can jump in there... especially after the odd few navy rums... of course, I've stayed sober tonight, pmsl!
