Dave Thorp's Blog

I have 6 referral codes to allow both new and existing customers (who don’t already have a sky+HD box) to get a free HD box with free standard install when you join (or stay with) sky for 12 months and subscribe to the HD pack (£10 a month on top of your normal subscription).

Anyone interested contact me through this blog with your e-mail address. As each code is unique, I only have 6 codes and the offer is limited to the first 6000 respondents please only contact me if you are going to take the offer up

EDIT- Just reading the terms it seems while the offer is open to existing customers, I only get the M&S vouchers for new customers. If an existing customer wants to take up the offer and compensate me in some other manner they would still be welcome

Just watched the first part of Torchwood: Children of Earth on BBC tonight. Was a pretty good start (if a bit slow but what do you expect in part one of a five part story). Looking forward to the remaining parts anyway

Just searched on amazon for the DVD and blu-ray release and it seems the BBC aren’t wasting any time. It’s out on 13th July which is a week today.

Tonight is the final of Britain’s Got Talent, and despite my normal pledge to avoid any shows which are created purely to inflate Simon Cowell’s ego and ensure he had enough money to buy some really high trousers for life I was forced to watch it. So with 10 acts that are supposed to be the epitome of British talent I should be in for an entertaining evening right?? WRONG!

The final was dominated by gangsters that should be dealing crack on the streets, people who only got there due to sympathy from the judges and/or the viewers, a Bridget Jones wannabe who is way too ugly to stand any chance in the world of showbiz, fat blokes that aren’t British anyway, a girl with so few friends that she has to perform with her Grandad (who in fairness seems better than Stuart and Alex’s Grandad in many respects but hey) and a bloke blowing his own trumpet.

The first series actually discovered the talent that is Paul Potts who was languishing as a mobile phone salesman and making semi regular posts on a discussion forum I used to frequent. Pity that whoever wins this series I can’t see them doing much more than lining Simon Cowell’s pockets in his very tall pants!
