I have never bothered to watch Setanta. Is that one of those channels that you have to pay extra to watch Pete?

Replace the word 'owned' by the phrase 'I'm a completely deluded cretinous moron thank you'. This seems to fit better imo

What's the chances of Setanta HD then?

I tdid boil my **** when I had to watch a premiership game on Setanta in SD, when a crappy league 2 game was being shown on Sky HD.

Setanta was nothing but a pain in the **** of proper sports fans as it just meant they *did* have to fork out for both Sky and Setanta anyway.

Sky are alot of things, i personally think the company are complete cunts but they do put sports first and you get a hell of alot for your money with their Sports pack....although i can see them putting the prices up now.

I personally like the fact i can now slag off Sky and not worry about the implications even though at this minute they are monitoring my internet useage as they pay for it.

It's simple ... I post, they all respond ... I therefore control their actions - owned

To prove the point, I bet that Jye will reply to this within 5 minutes .......

But to be properly owned you would have to entice them to respond to your comments wouldn't you. Maybe not trolling or fishing, but a little subtle bait, like UB with politics is a guaranteed earner.

Just observations of recent

I have absolutely no idea how to Troll, in fact I don't recognise the word or it's meaning.

I enjoy fishing .... Sea and River.

Is that puppy, Jye still following me?

I always thought that you didn't have two brain cells to rub together - I see that you DO actually have two!
