Only just started download, no idea of quality but same size as other rips so I am assuming quality is on par.

^ Thanks for the link. The speed is decent, I just start up the torrent and it's already downloading at 300kb/s.

[Alasondro Alegré]

^You're right, I'm getting amazing speeds here! It's got to be one of the fastest torrents I've ever seen.

I just read that the beer they drank in the park got banned yesterday.

[ROBL250]

Codswallop. I'd have loved to taste that Beer those lads were showing off at the park, instead of stabbing people and causing trouble they actually made something of themselves and marketed their own product.
I wonder who wanted the product banned? most likely Tesco's who'd rather see crates and crates of tasteless Carlsberg come flying off the shelves than sell anything home-made.
As James May so rightly put it "To assume I would cause trouble after drinking this is patronising and down-right insulting."

Not the actual one they were drinking but same brewery. Although I generally don't agree with anything being banned, making marketing jokes about Speedballs probably isn't going to be a fast route to the supermarket shelves.

Guys, TechZ has put it on his FTP, so you can get it there!

[Jmiller]

Thanks for the new episode, I love this show and my dad I think might like it better than top gear. I always upload it to my server for him every week and he always calls to thank me.

Better than last week's and getting better with age! Can't wait for Ireland next week.

And another funny british accent

I too thought this episode was the best yet. Scotland is now definetly on my "places for holiday" List ...

They should bring out like a box for each episode with little samples of what they tasted in an episode (some days before the episode airs) so you can taste while watching the episode. For me it´s harder watching them both drink this time in terms of curiosity because I don´t have any clue on british drinks and would love to try that stuff (even tough I think I wont like much of it). To wine I could relate to quite a lot because I´ve sampled quite a lot of different wines ... but on (brit)-beer, scotch or gin ... I have no clue and I would really love to have a taste.

Btw ... I´d love having a fried Mars ... must taste awsome

Ah! Another English language accent, or several accents to be accurate.

Yes, best ep. so far.

Good idea, I’ve driven to the Westen Highlands and Islands from London a few times and it is great.
Mostly Motorway all the way to Glasgow/Edinburgh, but then it’s a looooong way beyond that on slow roads – but well worth it. Don’t go in August because of the dreaded Midges from the heather. (Midges are like little flies –very annoying and millions of them.)

Another good idea!
Steady with the Malt Whisky the first time.

Yeah maybe, but your cardiologist and dietician wont be impressed.

I preffer Snickers or Twinkies.

They can't be from a place that also fries fish. That's just nasty.

[vg007]

I just watched it, and it was really good, and also, didn't feel cramped into the half-hour slot, which I find most half hour shows suffer from.

For those who might be interested, here's a closer look at the famous deep fried mars bar in what looks to be the very shop Oz and James visited: http://fxcuisine.com/Default.asp?lan...esolution=high

Thanks TechZ!

edit: Yes, it is the very shop! I think Cafe Piccante must be famous or something.

Er, well yes it is. Never seen it myself, but the question was discussed on the Stephen Fry program QI, which I think estimated about 20% of regular Fish & chip shops in Scotland provide this for their customers. (As was illustrated on the Oz & James episode.)

And,
Re: Snickers - other products are also available for deep fried battering.

Worked fine for me.
Thanks for posting!

[skylock]

Sorry, I would have posted a torrent up, but I got busy and forgot my friends. Sorry.

Now about the show. I think James is a bit of a mother hen to Oz. It is touching to watch.

Honestly I am getting the feeling this is the story of a friendship that just happens to include drink. I am not complaining. Just making an obsevation.

[NecroJoe]

You mean like top gear?
