    Sky...that's something that's completely over my head....no pun intended....but I think we may be the only family that just have just a TV with freeview and nothing else....talk talk do the computer and phone and someone else the mobiles....but sky and all these extra channels has never appealed

    I have a tv with freeview but also have my own HUMAX recording box which as got freeview and
    catch up tv on it and NETFLIX . My DS got NETFLIX subscription and he put me on it free, Was a godsend over Christmas when I was off I watched more on NETFLIX than the tv :T

    I just pay £17-40 for my sky broadband and phone line rental. Makes me laugh I don't possess a landline phone but need line for broadband :D

    All the toiletries/liquids you take in your hand luggage must fit into one of the stupid plastic bags they provide.....oh and if they are being particularly difficult, they will insist they you are able to seal the bag too! Well that has been our experience at Gatwick.


    but in fairness it's for a very good reason.....

    I'm very pleased to say I have been able to donate blood :j

    You know you have 42 questions on the iPad thingy? and you usually say No to everything bar 1 question regarding weight?

    I had several Yeses (?) :o

    1. I have been to Dentist in last 7 days.
    2. I've had my medication changed.
    3. I've been abroad in last 6 months.
    4. On Gout pills

    But all worked out fine :D

    tweets...a HUMAX recording box....over my head!!!
    ....I have heard of netflix but the closest I've been to it was going to the cinema to watch the first 2 episodes of The Crown screened free.

    Sometimes I think technology passed us by.

    At last, I've finally got what I consider some helpful information to contribute to the Elite, albeit only small....

    If you take your own travel mug to Caffe Nero for your drink you get 2 loyalty stamps. And having tested it today - you can do this when getting your free O2 drink!!!

    Good to know. Thanks.:T

    I would be lost without my recording box especially when programmes I like to watch all seem to be on at 9pm .
