Internet connection has been up 90 days
Host server has been up since 14th Sept
Redhat server has been up 17 days (presumably since host rebooted after patching)
We did have a power cut around 7:00am this morning, but the UPS kept all systems up...

Actually, mine is currently £7.50 - I'm still getting £2.50 from old Cellnet Loyality scheme...

The contract on Mrs TheBoy's is up soon. If you can guarantee that handset does flick back to O2, what can you offer?
I'd be after at least 300mins anytime/network, and a handful of texts. And keep same number. Feel free to PM?

Markiec,
I have no use for 3G, so no desire to move.
Oddly enough, Mrs TheBoy's brother had a Three phone last year, and he stayed with us for a few weeks last year but couldn't get a signal. Probably a firmware fault in phone not going back to GSM?? He always said signal was a real problem, except around M40...

Agreed with Markiec - pick network first.
Seeing as only O2 works in my house, that doesn't leave any options
BTW, my O2, £10 per month for 500mins cross network anytime....

Note to The Boy.....Sony have no involvement with the design or manufacture of these unts...its all Ericsson!It still says Sony, and those cheating, lying arseholes would get some proportion of my money - thats never gonna happen
Had a very early GSM Ericsson, it was awful. Not entirely phone's fault, as the GSM networks were not up to TACS then. If it wasn't for the sony name on it, I would happily try another Ericsson. I stay away from Motorola phones, as the carkits are suspect - Nokia still do best carkits, Ericsson second best imho.

Most Windows based phones can sometimes be described as 'challenging' at times. Whilst the OS itself has improved, the manufacturer's implementations usually leave much to be desired. I can get the HP ones cheapish without contract, but they are more PDAs with built in phone, rather than other way round...

I'm guessing the tablets are a bit strong tonightQuoteYep any auto when in drive will roll backwards if the slope is steep enough
not quite true. depends on whether the car is facing up the slope, down the slope or even across the slope! in fact, maybe the car is on its roof, or on stands. Nobody mentioned whether chock had been used either.
or am I just being silly?

On a steep slope, it may have tendency to roll back...
In P, there is obviously a mechanical lock, so won't budge...

Well you could use the spare wheel area for a tank.....wouldnt be very big tank tho' , then what do you do with the spare wheel??Can't really do that on saloon, as it blocks access to light cluster, so can't replace blown bulbs...

The tanks for saloon take up far too boot space for my requirements - else I would have done it. Shame can't use spare wheel area, but thats life.QuoteQuoteHow can people happily pay as much as 85p/l?We like our boots...
So do I - still plenty of room
Also, only lpg near me is high forties per litre, and taking into account the 10% (approx guess) drop in mpg, its not quite such a good deal for me...

86.9per litre I paid yesterday at BP on old Kent Road, where do you get it at that price, sure its no tractor fuelMartin and TD use LPG, but lose half their boot to crappy lpg tanks (well TD doesn't, coz he's got estate, and tank just lifts floor).
IFAIK, Asda have a national price for fuel, currently 84.9p. Which means all stations near Asda match it, hence why its all 84.9p around MK...
