    Further to that new [Samsung] M20 phone that was bought for £42 [and 79p to be accurate]. He's charged it up now and showed it to me today, operating. I was very impressed indeed. OK, so he has only a very basic guarantee, and the one from ebay, but this is normally a quite high priced, high specification phone for a small fraction of the price, with a removable/replaceable battery. Works a treat too. He's come from a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I gave him as I had one spare and that was around 4 years ago. Bit of a revelation for him. Price dropped slightly since he bought it. Would I buy one to replace my LG Stylus 3? No. If I didn't have a phone though I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Maybe the catch will reveal itself in the coming weeks:

    <ok>

    I think you might be quite pleased with it. For £40 odd it's a very small gamble. One can always return if it doesn't measure up.

    I hope that golden toilet is melted down & the proceeds go to the poor. Such an offensive thing to look at. But in reality, it will probably fuel a few smack houses in the worst area's. No winners.

    I was at the bread shop and I said to the baker,

    "How come those on that shelf are 50p each and that one over there is a pound?"

    He said "That's madeira cake".

    Three guys are on a boat with 4 cigarettes, but nothing to light them with.

    So they throw one cigarette overboard and the the boat becomes a cigarette lighter :)

    Drove passed Jeremy Clarkson on the motorway this morning. He was being driven in a rather nice Aston

    My friend tagged me, on Facebook, with an old photo taken from a Facebook page, that has old photos from Southampton. What caught her eye was the surname, which is not very common.
    Turns out that this handsome devil is my dad, when he was a tram driver. Amazing coincidence that brought a tear to my eye, as it’s a photo I have never seen. It was working on the trams that he met my mum, and the rest is history.

    Police suspect a Polish Gang. No-one else could do a job that quick at such a low price
