10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

Episode: Pokies (2x5)
Episode Plot:
Nic Shields spends her lunchtimes playing the pokies, and in a desperate attempt to absolve a whirlpool of deceit and debt she has found herself in, stages a robbery. Nic spends her lunch hour down at her local workers club. It has become a ritual: a little lunch, a couple of games of Keno and a press on the pokies. But what started out as a bit of fun has slowly become a bit of a problem. Nic is chasing her losses and is sure the next press will pay. But the frequent trips to the ATM machine tell another story. Her bank balance is evaporating, and to hide the true extent of her gambling from her husband Eddie, she has re-directed her bank statements to her cousin Grace's house. This places a strain on their relationship, but Nic assures Grace she will sort it out by the end of the week. So Nic's preoccupation with her gambling intensifies as she tries to make more money to pay for Eddie's 40th birthday party, her son Joel's school excursion, and a major landscape improvement being undertaken in the family backyard. When the contractor requests a further down payment, Nic panics and unleashes on the contractor and Eddie. A few days later when Nic is on her way to bank her employer's takings, she is robbed in broad daylight. The police are called and her family and work colleagues are sympathetic to the ordeal she has experienced. Although Nic wants to go back to work immediately she accepts a small break from work, but spends her free time playing the pokies. The police turn up during Eddie's birthday party with the good news that the perpetrator of the robbery has been caught. But why is Nic so nervous when asked to accompany them to the station? Has it got something to do with the fact that the thief is her nephew Robbie? Tortured with guilt over what she's done, and the knowledge that her husband and son will soon know the truth, Nic makes a decision that she believes will free her of the guilt and shame.
