CommunAuto

I tried this scheme last year as a second car alternative.

I cannot recommend it. Why?  because there are no one-way journeys allowed so 99% of intended journeys are useless for this scheme.

If you don't have a car and need it to pick stuff up then great or do little day trips, knock yourself out.  Otherwise it is a waste of time.  Great idea but it needs more work.  Until then take a taxi.  It is NOT the car equivalent of a bixi which is what they misled me  to believe (OK misled is strong, but they are not overly explicit that the car has to return to start point).

I have other gripes but that is the main one.  other similar schemes in other countries can manage to redistribute the car fleet throughout the day I don't know why these lot can't.

Easy Netflix


With an Unblock US, aka usvideo.ca account you can now watch UK, US, Canadia, Scandanavian, Irish and mexican netflix with a click of a button. No foreign credit cards and messing about.

This not only gets you a wider range of content but also gives you the option to watch films in portuguese, spanish or french (via Canadian site) if you prefer this. So not only can you lazily babysit the kids but educate them too.  Plus you get UK TV...

N. American TV is so bad why would you want to watch it?  And even if the show is OK they'll only ruin it with vulgar, crass  and just embarrassing adverts so do yourself a favour and switch to something you can control the content of

It's $5 a month....
