Default Martin gets a mention in mock the week
one of the comedians has mentioned martins site (not by name)and information about how to save money on your mobile phone etc

apparently they cancelled his contract and he was a bit miffed
but as one of the other guys pointed out is that martin saved him money lol

sounds like he got through to disconnections and didn't say i'm going to leave unless you give me a better deal - instead he just said i want to leave.... so they obliged him! but never mind! certainly made me laugh too!

so pleased someone else noticed that too. I did wonder if I was "hearing voices" and maybe I spent just a little bit too much time here.

all of the above is probably true


Everyone loves magical Trevor cos the tricks thats he does are ever so clever.
 Look at him now, dissapearing a cow, where is the cow headed right now?

Mock the Week is often repeated on a Saturday night too.

I got home early last sat night to find it on and got all confuddled thinking it was Thursday and I'd inadvertently skived the day off work

It had nothing to do with the wine I'd consumed honest


We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.

It was way past midnight, and she still couldn't fall asleep

Talking

I thought I was hearing things when MSE obviously being quoted. For those who missed it it is worth checking out on BBCi.
