    Now I know how Smithy felt.

    Was making love to my wife last night and just as we were reaching the best bit, she threw me out the bed and got Daniel Bentley in. I was not happy to say the least. I walked straight out the room and didn't even high five Dan on my way out. I have now apologised for my petulant behaviour and...

    Post 10,000

    Well where do I start?

    Question TalkTalk

    Anyone else having problems tonight? I'm now running 3G on my laptop after my PC wouldn't connect to the web. Checked the phone line and that's down too. Rang them on my mobile and there's a recorded message saying technical issues but wondered how far reaching this is.
