I don't suppose anyone knows anything about them???

I need a new toy  ;D and I've decided on a telescope, only trouble is none of it makes any sense to me and I'm looking recommendations. 

Or some advise on maturing...

How easy is it? 
What's people's experiences of this, what's the best way to go about it? 
I've heard of people getting them to change their phone from contract to pay as you go and I'd assume you've to pay for the handset after that?   

I've contract with orange and have just realised (because I'm a stupid bollocks)  that the "unlimited text messages" promised actually means unlimted text messages to UK phones! I don't even want to know what the promise of free minutes actually means or I'll f**king lose it!!!!

QuoteCall for ban on alcohol, tobacco sales in GAA

25 November 2006 22:47

A new GAA manual for dealing with drug and alcohol related issues, which was launched today, suggests that a ban on the sale of cigarettes and alcohol in GAA clubhouses could help prevent drug and alochol abuse.

The manual's publication has been welcomed. But a senior public health specialist has said it is unfortunate that the organisation still accepts sponsorship from drink companies.

This manual is part of the GAA's response to calls that it should be taking steps to address increasing drug and alcohol abuse in society, especially among young people.

The document contains information on developing club drug and alcohol policies, on getting help with alcohol and drug problems and on the effect of different drugs.

It suggest that a ban on the sale of cigarettes and alcohol in GAA clubhouses, and the phasing out of alcohol ads on club jerseys and in grounds could help prevent drug and alochol abuse.


It will be circulated to county boards and clubs across the country, and will be followed a series of other education and awareness initiatives.

Its publication has been welcomed as a useful contribution.

But public health specialist Dr Joe Barry said it was unfortunate that although people in the grassroots in the GAA were seeking change, the organisation was still accepting sponsorships from drink companies.

Bullshit!
