    I wonder how many people do that - we've had a BT land line for 12 months now, and we don't own a phone... :hehe:

    It's an upto-service, but even with our crappy lines (in our house at least) we get about 22-23MB anyway, it's < 2 miles to the exchange. :D

    New wiper motor for my Fiat Punto, and a new exhaust... stupid rubber linkages snapped, which snapped the pipe away from the backbox.

    Ohh and tickets for Tim Minchin at the edinburgh fringe, find him on youtube, he's genius!

    Just received some baseball tickets for a Cubs vs. Astros game while I'm on vacation in Houston, TX. I'm a Cubs fan, so the tickets are for behind the visitors dugout. Never seen a MLB game outside of Wrigley Field, so it will be interesting to see the Cubs down here, it's apparently and air conditioned stadium too.

    How many HD channels are there on Freesat at the moment?
    I've been tempted but I would need some form of Dual tuner for the media centre
