Their 2015 revenue was $6b.
Their forecast for spending on content for 2016 is $6b also.
It's a deep pockets game, but don't be thinking subscriptions x $10 = the money on titties.
A handy netflix trick with your young kids: turn the language to whatever and the kids will start speaking it. Someone in work was saying they just showed Japanese shows to their three year old for a few months for no reason except shits-n-giggles, and the kid (Italian) started coming out with all these arigatos, sayounaras rather rapidly in her daily chat.

I've posted numerous photos here over the last while but today I made a video for a change. Only constraint I set myself was to limit it to 15secs both for ease of editing and to upload it to instagram. Never done it before so lots to learn.

Black September, the Red Army Faction, the Baader-Meinhof Gang don't seem so bad now. Plus they had way cooler names; Carlos the Jackal, The Border Fox. These Islamist lads have no sense of style."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Their 2015 revenue was $6b.

That sounds like a great way to screw a child up a little, or build a little polyglot.

This article is fairly grim reading. Definetly on their radar I'd say,ultimately people will adjust to groups of less then 100 being randomly slaughtered in various European cities every couple of montjs.,what's next? How many nuclear power plants is there in belgium\france\uk?
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/26/world/europe/belgium-fears-nuclear-plants-are-vulnerable.html?_r=0Belgian authorities fear that Islamic State militants may try to attack, infiltrate or sabotage nuclear plants or obtain nuclear or radioactive material.
At the same plant where these jihadists once worked, an individual who has yet to be identified walked into the reactor No. 4 in 2014, turned a valve and drained 65,000 liters of oil used to lubricate the turbines. The ensuing friction nearly overheated the machinery, forcing it to be shut down. The damage was so severe that the reactor was out of commission for five months.Last edited by Guest; 29-03-16, 11:39.

BBC Reporter: what were his demands?
Reynolds: he demanded that the 3rd secret of Fatima be released
BBC Reporter: (shocked) what on earth is that?
Reynolds cronies: guffaws

I go into bathroom and stand on the keys
FUCKWIT!
Most akward goodbye ever followed, where I gave him the good luck handshake and he then stood at the door for 2 minutes
He still has keys!
I'm sleeping with a knife!
He is still living here somehow
He moved out for the second time, I went to work, when I got home, he had moved back in!

Heading to Budapest Friday week, will ask for some more advice next week but for now question on currency.
Plan on using my Revolut card but wanna have about 100euro worth of cash for taxi, tips etc. Heard they take Euro but am i better off getting some Hungarian Forint? Usually use https://www.no1currency.ie for small amounts to cash as its handy to order online and collect. Advice appreciated.
