I've been with Vodafone for a few years now (and, as a former employee, I'll try to keep this unbiased). I'm a low spender - £40 bill absolute maximum. When the last period of twelve months was up I asked for my PAC number as there were some far better deals around on the internet.
When I first ...

Not sure what Dell are generally perceived to be like reliability-wise, but the past few computers I've had to get have been bought from this bloke.

How did Metropol/TVF come about?

Hi everyone, I found TV Forum via a google search a couple of years ago and have been very much an occasional poster since then, including very rarely in the past year due to the well-documented abudance of trolls/general dickheads.I was just wondering when TVForum, or TVhome which I think was ...

I do like Zadok the Priest, but for me the best thing about, or the thing that makes it special, is the intro and how it gradually builds up to when the choir come in.
As a music student I've had the opportunity to listen to a wide range of lesser-known stuff that I never thought I'd like but did ...

I've been thinking exactly the same thing recently Jay. I looked on Amazon a couple of days ago and there was one of the model in question for £120. I'm really kicking myself that I didn't get it now as the cheapest is £200.

Well, as I used to work for Vodafone, I'm bound to be biased. Overall I suppose it's hard to say though - unless you yourself have been on all of the networks so a lot of people's opinions may be formed principally on tariffs etc. Vodafone's are often more expensive than the likes of 3, but you are ...

Well that's what I'd like to think, Cat. I just worry that all they need is the address to hack into somethin that has my bank details. Luckily the address I gave them was my home address ...

Ebay 2nd chance scam

Evening all. I think I've been a very stupid boy and fallen for a scam. Recieved an email saying I could have a second chance in an auction for a laptop that I had placed a bid for. I replied to the email saying that I was interested and they asked me for my address, which I gave them. Nothing has ...
