Hi mate, Which part of Beijing are you in? I'm mainly familiar with Dongzeman / Sanlitun District, I only get to Beijing for a couple of days either side of travelling to and from Manchester, two or three times a year. I was in Beijing for the 2012 friendly against Arsenal, I don't think that...

Yup, I used to get good results running XBMC on a Raspberry Pi when I was in the UK, now I have to get past the Great Firewall, it seems that a lot of the servers for KODI addons are blocked here, which means I have to run a VPN to bypass that problem. That in itself causes another problem as...

Cheers, I'll take a look at that. Many City games have been on local free to air channels this season, last night's game wasn't. From some of the posts I see in the match day thread, I think I'm better off with the Chinese commentary rather than Sky or BT! I've just taken a look at the Modbro...

Is it possible to use a secure proxy with Kodi? My internet connection slows considerably when I use a VPN, I couldn't get a decent stream last night, every one I tried was buffering every 3 or 4 seconds, just not useable. I would normally resort to Acestream instead of Kodi but I couldn't find...

Sorry Coleridge but I did some work in Lahore, I visited a few shitholes during my time in the Middle East and Lahore was top of my list of shitholes visited. The offices where I worked had armed guards on the door, the McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Subway all had armed guards on the doors, the guy...

Paraphrasing an entry in my 'Little Book of Man City', mine's been kicking off about every ten minutes these last few days....

Here's a link to a Wikipedia article (if I've linked it correctly)

ahhh, lose....

hardly, how do you loose an hour?

Indeed, the downside for me though is that 4AM games become 3AM games. It seems strange to me that a country the size of China can function happily with one time zone, never changing the clocks to 'summer time', whilst jolly old England has to continually fuck about, discussions in the House...

you are correct, there was some talk of Shanghai earlier on but the confirmed dates on the OS are for Beijing and Shenzhen, apologies :(

http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/ Internal flights will be the best option for anyone considering attending more than one game. I'm hoping to get to the Bird's Nest in Beijing again but I won't be going to Shenzhen or Shanghai. Shenzhen is the closest mainland city to Hong Kong...

Strangeways has reinforced metalled glass in the windows which considerably attenuates radio frequency signals. The reinforced concrete walls have a similar effect. There are a lot of buildings around that are constructed in a similar manner, the RF signal problem is a consequence, not by design.

resistance is futile?

@coleridge - I took a look at the article linked there, what relevance does it have to my post?

The problem is, SWP's Back is correct - I had first hand experience of this shit when Al Kaida were blowing up Western Compounds and beheading Westerners in Saudi. A significant number of the locals found it highly amusing at the time. I decided it was time to get the fuck out of there.

I've managed to get the Bluemoon build installed on my Android T8 box! I used a VPN into UK whilst I followed the setup video, it's looking good :) (it took around 35 minutes to download though.....) I'll have a play now, I downloaded Blackbox OK last year without using a VPN but after a while I...

City played Arsenal in July 2012 at the Bird's nest, the weather was fine, even had a thunder storm at half time (and City won). If I recall correctly, the rags were playing in Shanghai around the same time. The rags, Arse and red dippers will always have an advantage as red is seen as a very...

I worked with a lot of decent people in Saudi, however, a number of them were intent on converting Westerners to Islam, I did hear that there was cash involved if they did trap someone. The thing about it was that if the person did become the victim of the nut jobs, said person would be going...

I do have the image in my mind of the pilots lighting up once they get airborne, such a laid back airline :)
