    Amazing scenes! Not unlike the view from your apartment that one time!

    I'm thinking strongly about subscribing, but would like to get a current Netflix user's views first.

    Thanks in advance.
    Its pretty good, but if you can bypass the protection and get into the US site its much better (using a vpn or something)

    It hasd a months free trial, just sign up and try it

    Cheers ! Thank you for that.
    I've signed this morning for the months free trial, so shall see how it pans out.
    A monthly 'scrip of €6.99 seems fair enough if the quality of film is passable.
    (But I can't help wondering how much it is in the U.K.).

    Why in racing are female trainers like Jessie known as Mrs John Harrington and owners like Ricci go by the wife's name in ownership terms of his horses?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I think Jessie took the license over from Johnny when he was unwell - maybe it's a function of her never having had the desire to change it after he passed away?

    Ricci's horses are technically-owned by his wife.........maybe it's a function of a tax-dodge, the Gold-Cup-swerving-with-Vautour baldy bas*tard.

    Referring to a married woman by the forenames (or initials) of her husband in addition to the usual surname is very formal and now archaic, but for those obsessed with etiquette, it is correct

    It was the case until fairly recently for married women players at Wimbledon. For most of her career Billie Jean King appeared on the scoreboard and official documentation as Mrs L.W.King, her husband being Larry King; and Margaret Court as Mrs B.F.Court, her husband being Barry Court

    I remember this because, circa 1970, I asked why too, and someone with proper breeding explained

    Racing is to sport what Jacob Rees-Mogg is to politics

    When the little wife takes his arm, I'm sure she's known as Mrs Jacob Rees-Mogg

    Jacob rees mogg married and fathering children seems almost as believable as michael Jackson two second conceptions that took less than to write their names...

    Drone; on the subject of Billie Jean King, that new film about her looks really good...wasn't a subject matter that interested me until I saw the trailer for it. Mike says the male tennis player she played against became good friends with her and she was one of the last people he spoke to before he died recently. As for Rees Mogg, it was ok having people in government like him at one time; y'know, the great British eccentric, but it's terrifying to think that people like him now have so much power. It infuriates me when he has photo shoots with Bagpuss; Oliver Postgate must turn in his grave at the sight of it...

    Thought the film was very soulless and moderate. 5/10 at best.

    Thanks; I've seen too many rubbish films this year so I'll give that one a miss and possibly go and see Paddington again [that was great!!].

    Why on earth can Americans and the Irish not get their heads around the difference between take and bring?
