Excellent. Glad to see Martin was not looking ill. If anything I thought the pace was a little slower, and I put it down to his delicate state!

Lara was lovely, but damn damn damn I completely forgot to look out for her ring :rolleyes: . I've seen the odd flash during the weather bulletins, but I really must watch on Sunday now.

Good show everyone, very informative.

Who was the Freecycler?

I nearly spat out my pizza when they showed the bit with Lara and Martin sharing the drink, how funny was that... typical bloke! :rolleyes:

I'm going to try that vyke thing, texting for nothing sounds great!

Oh My Gosh, how bling is Lara's ring???? That must have cost a fair bit in tesco clubcard deals;)

Going to go and sort this vyke out for my mobile, that was a new one on me.

Good show tonight, I lol at Ruth with a mouth full of crisps unable to do the link.

You can also text via your pc using www.call1899.co.uk and http://www.18185.co.uk/index2.php for 1p per text to most other countries as well as local UK mobiles.

I'm a bit confused about the free texting. Most people are on contracts so their texts would be free anyway wouldn't they? I'm not, I am on PAYG and spend about £5 a year! Would the Vyke thing work with PAYG, as at present my texts are 12p each, so my £5 would probably last two years!

I too was rather concerned about Martins health. So glad he seems ok.

The Lara & Martin piece was smashing, whoever thought about doing it deserves a pat on the back!


A very informative Show as usual in my view. Well done to all concerned...:beer:

Martin did look well - I wonder if he took some medicine before he went on camera to help him feel better?

I take it with contract mobiles, you wait until you're (say) 1-2 months from the end of your contract then call up your network and haggle for the best deal? The problem is that a lot of networks now go with 18 month contracts when they used to do 12 months.

I'm on PAYG and, tbh, I don't think I use the phone enough to justify changing and I wouldn't want to be locked into an 18 month contract, even with the promise of a snazzy new phone, as it's just too long a commitment for my liking, at least on a mobile.

have a look at sim only contracts, theyre 1 month minimum contracts so you can cancel whenever you want, but are a lot better value that paug

I've heard of these - the thing is, I usually don't need to top up by more than £10 a month on my phone, and I'm on Orange, so are my folks, and I can get Magic Numbers (which are my folks' phones), which lets me talk to them for up to an hour for 15p - but I need to top up by at least £20 a month to keep that.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the SIM only ones - thankfully, my phone's unlocked, so shouldn't be a problem getting one.
