I'm sure you did. But you are wasting valuable drinking time telling us that you've told him what you've told him when he won't read it anyway. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I can drink while doing anything else. It's not depriving me at all.

Well - it'll save the whitewash anyway, so has some point.

Ah... there speaks the voice of modern sports fans, where results are all that count... in my day we supported "our" club simply because it was "our" club, even if we did lose 0-4 every week.....

This is where I speak up and say I'm a lifelong Newcastle United fan. I don't know what the alternative to this losing thing is.

In fairness you came as close if not closer to stopping Man City as anyone else this season so far...

You realise I support Pompey right? I've seen us draw with Kaka and Ronaldinihos Milan - tomorrow I'm watching us play Northampton.

It would have been 4-0 if not for this score.
What was also great fun to watch was Broad surviving a tough time.

No it wouldn't. We can't bat for shite and we're bowling worse. Missing Starc had left us well short.

Smith and Marsh are doing alright in previous tests
I think its time to play the ashes at a neutral venue - its getting boring thrashing each other in our own countries.

This match, they and Paine chopped on. Rarely see that once a series.
Faarrrkkkk neutral venues. Doctor the pitchea your way and make the visitors adapt.
I'm sick of the drop in pitches over here making things dead and keeping the Winters sports wankers happy. Faarrrkkkk them with a pineapple.

That's more or less the case for all cricket now.
Aus come to India, India beat them.
India go to Australia and loose badly.

That's so true - you come here this summer, England will win yet it doesnt mean we're the better team - it just means Anderson and Broad are unplayable on English pitches

What do you mean? The cricket is on satellite tv here (and during the night) so i dont get to watch it.

Just seen he scored a 50!
Reminds me of the Fantasy League days when he was listed as an all-rounder

Sadly being in a country that sucks at sport, and the only thing some people watch here is the F1 (the race here) and English soccer (no idea why - many despise their "colonial" past, particularly as the poms let the Japs literally walk in during WW-II) there's not much sport that I can follow.
There is cricket on TV here, for an extra fee (the Indians love it, but more for the IPL)
the closest cricket I saw here was Kevin Pietersen on The Grand Tour week before last. From what he said seems cricket players are all still piss heads, even while every other sport has gone all namby pamby about what their players do when not working
(which really is just ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing sad in my mind, ordinary blokes can still have a pint in the weekend, rugby players for example have to act like total prima-donna princesses 24/7, on and off season except when on the field - even then they're not supposed to swear, spit or gesture rudely or even tease any more. FFS, if I wanted knitting lessons I'd watch the knotting channel, not rugby.)

Last I was in Singapore I walked around an awesome cricket ground I would have loved to play on. Any idea if it gets used much?

Ah, the cricket ground at the Padang (near by the old parliament).
In 18 years I seen it used for cricket once, although I believe on a few occasions teams passing through (i.e. Aus/NZ <-> UK) may have an open day (no full games - few of the names show up and sign bats for the kids and maybe a bit of bowling/batting in the nets).
The ground is occasionally used for a variety of non cricket (often non-sport) activities - far more then the seldom (hardly ever) use for cricket.
There is also an official Singapore Cricket Club, the activities they list as "sports" is mainly watching [sports on] TV.
There are a lot of Indian/Bangla manual workers here, weekends they will often be seen playing cricket - but not at that ground though, no, no, no - more often some disused [rough/barren] fields further away from the city centre - it really is like a religion for some of them.

I often visit a friend to watch (mostly my own) DVD/BD movies - he has a huge TV set. He has no Bluray player, and his only DVD player is in his full-size tower PC, so I bring my settop player for plugging into his TV set. That is somewhat cumbersome; on my last visit I happened to leave the remote at home, and the player doesn't have the buttons (except On/off and Eject).
His TV set has a USB socket, and can play MPEG4 videos stored on a memory stick. If I could copy the DVD/BD to a file on the stick, I wouldn't have to carry the player back and forth every time. I've got the software for extracting the sound and video from both DVDs and BDs to an MPEG4 file. But NOT the subtitle tracks.
Now it happens that we frequently watch foreign movies - and, as we are not native English speakers, some English dialects fall into the same group as Finish or Italian  . So for a lot of the movies, we need the subtitles. Actually, for some disks with multiple soundtracks, my ripping software also picks the 'wrong' one, so even though the movie is English, the MPEG4 file has the French or Italian dubbed sound track.
Is there any software out there that allows me to rip the movie to MPEG4, with the subtitle track of my choice, and preferably the sound track of my choice? Ideally, it should also be capable of reading an .srt file (instead of the graphical subtitle images on the DVD/BD), with selectable text rendering.
It doesn't have to be freeeware, but I'm not going to pay thousands of dollars.
Before you give me that ugly look: In my country (Norway), the law explicitly states that you may produce copies for private, non-commercial purposes as long as it is limited to private, non-commercial purposes (the statue actually repeates this restriction!), so I am NOT breaking the law as long as I use it only for watching the movies on my friend's TV set.

Why not just buy a DVD player? They're cheap enough anyway, and between the two of you even more so.
