Re: Freeview on your PC for free

Being somewhat of a dummy, can some-one tell me if this would use up data allowance if used on an Iphone.

Re: It could be farewell to another old friend

Re: It could be farewell to another old friend

As a young RAF Boy Entrant at 4 School of Technical Training, St Athan in the early 60's, I have fond memories of using any available 'orifice' of the scrap Vulcans/Victors/Valients waiting disposal, to hide away during our weekly, much hated, cross country runs. I also remember standing and watchin...

Re: Sir Norman Wisdom RIP

I feel privileged to have lived through an era of some great comedians, who put the most of the so called comedians of today to shame. Norman Wisdom was a master comedian, and a nice man to boot, who did a lot for charity both in the country and abroad during his lifetime It's difficult to put a fin...
