This week has been a week for me and Toby on our own …. Si has been out in South Africa for work!! Here’s a pic of him on his travels - apparently he had his face painted by some tribes people or other -> Here he is

He’s home soon - Toby and I can’t wait!!

How tight are Sky TV?

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Rant time…….. annoyed with Sky TV.

Firstly, even though we subscribe to the sports package, we are not allowed to have Sky Sports News unless we subscribe to the news channels. Even though it’s a free channel that you can pick up with freeview, we can’t have it.

Secondly, the number of football matches that are shown on Sky these days is far less than it was a couple of years ago. So, you’d think the price would drop accordingly, right? No, WRONG. You’re getting less matches you can watch (because of Setanta) but are still being charged the same for it.

And finally ……. this weekend saw the final episode in the new series of Gladiators on Sky One. They got some of the old Gladiators back to challenge the new ones (and some of them looked really old - that hair dye is fooling nobody Trojan) So, they’re competing against one another for charity, and the total prize money ….. *drumroll* ….. a stunning £10,000. That’s it. £10,000. That’s poor, considering the amount of money they’re screwing people out of every month.

Come on Sky - you can do better than that.
