Sky+
We have just finished watching the last series of Torchwood, and it made me realise what a great ‘invention’ Sky+ is!!! I know that Torchwood finished ages ago, but we use Sky+ to record the whole series of things like Torchwood, Dr Who, 24, Rescue Me, New Tricks etc and then we tend to have a ‘binge’ on viewing them.

I recognized the yellow shirt from companies that have delivered before for Apple, and ironically have been crap, but I couldn’t tell you their name!! I think I know but out of fairness I won’t ‘name and shame’ until I am 100%. ‘Name and shame’? Yep, because when I went to open the box I noti
