Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Got excited to see the new Bosch spin off is out now on Amazon but it has ads which will be annoying. Several of the reviewers saying they’re not happy paying for prime then getting hit with ads. Hope this isn’t something Amazon is going to end up doing with more of their films and series.



I thought of watching that as well, but if its that bad I won't bother

Exactly the same feeling here. They also plonk a distracting light grey freevee logo in the bottom righthand corner of the picture.

They should let subscribers watch ad-free and logo-free. Anybody who doesn't pay can have the ads and logos!



Freevee used to be the old IMDB. They have now changed the name. That chanel always had ads, that's how people could watch it without paying anything.

The problem is that they are making those of us who DO pay still watch the ads. Give us the choice!

Eurosport used to be like that, but now I can watch ad-free on demand.

I suppose they feel if you don't want ads, don't watch the chanel. There are others on Amazon to watch. In all honesty I don't watch Amazon TV much as most of the stuff they show is not the best t.v. IMHO. And although your paying for it, your mainly paying for Amazon prime delivery which is the best bit and really what I have prime for.

I have a new roof on my shed. Much better than the corrugated plastic ones I had before. My grandson and his dad made a good job of it. My shed is finally weather proof now.

The problem is that Bosch was one of the best shows on Prime and is one of the main reasons that I stayed with it***. It is annoying to have that show then switch over. I reckon that Amazon might eventually respond to the uproar by making shows available both ways.



*** I didn't used to buy much from Amazon when I was skint but now I have my pension I am buying lots of stuff, and you are right - next day free delivery is great!

Morning folks :okay: the garden is coming along and should be quite colourful with the hardy annuals- marigolds,corn flowers, nasturtium,chrysanthemum,poppies etc, i reckon hardy annuals should be more popular as theyre so easy to grow. Going to plant tomatoes/courgettes/lettuce/french beans in any available space and in containers. The last occupant liked his herbs which is handy for cooking, theres sage,tarragon, parsley,bay,thyme,mint and possibly oregano [not sure]. Need to buy a hose as have been doing numerous watering can fill ups which is only going to get more frequent as summer arrives proper.
Went for a pleasant spin yesterday and ventured up a gravel track which was ***** steep, i decided that i could appreciate the view better if i got off and walked.......:laugh:
