MOB Programme on BBC

[Ste]

I recorded this show, Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend: Thai Brides. I can seed if anyone wants to torrent it.

Although about the Thai MOB business, it almost parallels the Russian one, featuring:

Sleazy Agency owner!

The "family oriented' story!

The Younger girls prefer Older men myth!

And best of all, a Brit they followed looking for a wife, going by the unbelievable name of 'Lake Palmer'. At 60.....

This guy is worth the admission fee alone, will make you gringe and captivated at the same time!

Cringeworthy Notes:
----------------------

The creepy agency owner claiming his Thai gf doesn't have a headache even if she does have a headache. ie he gets his oats whether she likes it or not.

Said agency owner, 57, said gf 21! Three previous wives, married this one after six days, marriage lasted a bit longer, eight days!

Lake Palmer running through his tick sheet via an interpreter with a prospective wife.

Rejecting a girl on the basis of her being 59 kilos, 9 kilos too much.

Lake wooing his woman with a candle in his room, with dubious poetic verbage, not in front of Louis but in front of the camera, CRINGE FACTOR ALERT!!!

Lake has a temper problem, and it shows as he loses it with anyone who interrupts him or questions him! Hopes his future wife will calm him down.

Lake sings 'Are you Lonesome Tonight'

Lake ends up 'marrying' after three days, but luckily he only was able to get a blessing, since he forgot to bring his divorce certificate. He failed to get a visa for his gf and ran up a huge phone bill calling her. Eventually it turned out the girl was already married to another Englishman, and in any case dropped Lake for a Belgian guy, hopefully not Bruno.

Classic!

Try http://82.16.61.8:6969/announce -   I can see it listed here but last time i did this it didn't work till i had 4 goes!

That looks like a valid tracker url, but I need the torrent file url...

Kevin

[Bruno]

Some URl are not needed... a tracker is enough... but the main problem is that we have only two leecher and one seed... with only one seed at 3 kb/s, it will take several days to load it

[Goombah]

I use BitLord as my client and have no idea how to download directly from a tracker.  Any instructions for those of us torrent challenged?

I use BitLord too... in place of http://82.16.61.8:6969/announce , use http://82.16.61.8:6969/ ... clik on the name of the file "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends - Thai Brides.XviD-aRK.avi" ( the second one ) , select "open", select "OK"... all the rest is automatic... the first torrent is always present ( DJ ray ) but not more seeder...


Edit : Very fun, if you click on "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends - Thai Brides.XviD-aRK.avi", click on "open" followed by "OK" on the forum, you begin dowload directly the file... these forum engine have more capability that i have think...

[Goombah]

Got it, soon you will have three peers, but I'm not showing a seeder...

Kevin

Just realised i still have my upload throttled. I do this cos it makes my download unusable cos it can't ACK back so quickly. And it slows down browsing etc!

I've opened up now to the max (384k) cos Nadia and I are off to the pub to come last in the quiz again.

Ste

[Goombah]

I got 81.5% of it, can you open things up again - I think I got most of that in a few hours a few days ago!

Kevin

[Ste]

Its opened up now - but no one is connected.

It's also here

http://www.uknova.com/details.php?id=14693

With 11 seeders but uknova usually closes membership to keep numbers down and a low profile. It's a cracking site, loads of UK TV.

Trying to connect to your site again.  Thanks...  Bitload is running now and I marked it highest priority.

[Goombah]

Up to 94.5% - if I reach 100% I'll leave it open for a few weeks as a seeder...  no activity now though.

Kevin

It's still there - bit throttled cos I'm using t'internet now!

There was aanother interesting prog on UK CHannel 5 this week, about age differences, another popular subject here. Although not about foriegn relationships it was interesting. And it was a bout older women/younger men, including a man of 31 and a woman of 70, now that was disgusting, showed them showering together and snogging, yuk!!

And also a woman, 49 who had multiple orgasm syndrome, she had 50 orgasms a day, esp when she sneezed. wow!

[/quote]I watched the programm too, and yes, it was a bit controversial, (but I bet it would get completely different reaction if it was an older man with much younger wife?) Those two are really happy together and their relationship is not harming anyone, so I say good on them!

[Goombah]

FYI - I have a complete copy of the orginally torrent now - although my connection to the tracker is down.  BitLord will keep trying though and I'll leave it up and running for several weeks.

I watched it last night.  Not bad.  A lost more positive than any US "documentary" probably would have been.
