Don’t know about the defy phones but I’m with Giffgaff and they are very good. Each month I get a statement to say how much I would have paid on a pay as you go tarrif and they recommend which “goodie bag” to buy each month. Managed to get my wife on it so we both got £5 extra credit and free calls to each other.

That wiki article is cool. Just discovered the following…
“Humans have more than five senses. Although definitions vary, the actual number ranges from 9 to more than 20.”

Cheers. Hackers United will be rising to the top like a floater!

We had a long chat with a broker attached to the estate agents dealing with our house. We fine tuned our requirements with him (ie 30 year repayment rather than 25 etc) then tried to match his best quote. In the end First Direct came up better and he said he couldn’t match it. He tried convincing me that paying him money would mean we didn’t have to do much paper work but no deal!

That “Awkward Family Photos” website is even better than “People of Walmart”..

Thanks Jamie…

Me, my bro and Mr T!

Before driving licences and seat belts…

"Down and Out in Paris and London" always flavoured my outlook life after reading it.

Dare I suggest "The Screwtape Letters" with so many Dawkins fans around?

Yup, still getting this message after 24 hours. Restarting the phone hasn't done anything either.

The Halfords is in Crawley, Sussex.

They don't have any more Yukons, though I think a Zephyr was reduced to around a grand and looked very sweet. The guy who served me said he had just bought one of the Zephyrs.

Yesterday I bought my first new bike in over ten years. Only the rear brake lever remains from that Sunn Tonic. I now have a lovely new Van Nicholas Yukon (without pedals).

thanks for all the advice. In the end I was overwhelmed by shininess over practicality.

Though it may be a death trap in winter these are my lovely new wheels. £700 seemed to be a bargin from Halfords. First new bike in over ten years….

Look up Essaouira. I went in October '08 for three days. A bit windy on the beach and so great for kitesurfing. Place not properly developed yet so quite relaxed. Nice medina to visit etc.
