Midway through season three of "Hard Knocks" - a grid iron reality show in the untainted sense of the term - I had a codec issue. PB advised me to download and install ffdshow from SourceForge.net. Gave that a whirl yesterday afternoon and it did the trick. By this morning, bleary eyed, I'd completed series four, which takes the viewer inside the Dallas Cowboys' 2008 training camp.
My verdict: just as enjoyable as experiencing pre-season with the Kansas City Chiefs, though a mite heavy on montages. Despite their celebrity status, "America's team" was revealed to be a very family oriented outfit. As PB observed when he gave me the disc, some players you might think are loose cannons - prime example Terrell Owens - turn out to be downright responsible.
On the menu: (Courtesy of AK, my locally based sister.) Roast capsicums stuffed with mince, rice and other vegies, and topped with melted cheese. These green'n'red fatties are bursting with flavour!
That sounds infinitely more exciting than my patented "Vegemite on toast" dinner.
