Not used it myself but have heard it is quite good. I think though a bit like a phone data plan it's important to pick the right plan so that you don't get charged the overage.

That's what I was thinking. Some of the plans start from £1.99 but it doesn't give much detail Angry

In the past I've bought a new printer rather than buying cartridges for the old one which has got to be sad Cool

From what I can see you actually have to buy a new printer, and a particular model to use this scheme.

Sorry to change the subject, but, Ben Stokes. WOW!

Second fastest double century, 204 not out from 163 balls. Is he the new Botham? Probably not as good a bowler, yet, but so destructive with the bat on his day.

Don't see South Africa staying number one at the end of this series. They have no answer to the ginger attack at the moment. Just need Johnny Bairstow to complete his ton after lunch, 5 more runs required.

I just tried to access the Beeb website and it's unavailable.

What's more disturbing is there seems to be a picture of them burning the toys Jimmy Saville must've used to lure kiddies in. Laugh

Taken a screen shot.

It's working for me but it's incredibly slow!! My browser has timed out a few times!!

Seems to be working fine today, must've been experiencing ' tech issues' late last night.

That picture cracked me up though, I had to share Laugh

Well, did we do well in the cricket today or not Huh

When they were 100+ for 1 I was fearing the worst but we came back in the afternoon and evening to get them 7 down but a stubborn little partnership at the end leaves the Saffers on 267 for 7 Undecided

I thought we could have rolled them over for 250 the way it was going at one stage and that would have been great as they won the toss and chose to bat.

I suppose it all depends on how quickly we get them out in the morning and then how we perform with the bat Doh

I reckon we'll have them out for less than 300 (we bloody should do anyway) but the big problem is our inability to get a decent platform from the openers Angry

whoever we choose to put with Captain Cook he always seems to fail anyway just lately Doh

On the bright side, Steyn failed a fitness test and does not play Thumb up

I think I read somewhere that most teams score 300 in the first innings here so if England do wrap up the Saffers for less I think you'd call that a good start. However, you never truly know the value of a score until the other side has had their go. Hopefully England will knuckle down and get a healthy lead.

It's about time that blade started scoring on foreign soil too Whistle
