I couldn't care a hoot who makes what so long as it works and is better than what I had the last time. Why people get all pro and anti brand I've no idea. :conf:

Very pleased with my new Indesit washing machine. It's that quite that I kept having to check that it was actually working.

Worth it for me. Especially with being able to have 4 devices registered to your Sky account.

I use one and let me friend register on his iPad so he can watch all movies and sport without a sky account and he pays me £10 a month :lol:

With the 2 extra devices I can make another £20 a month :lol:

Having a good run of bad luck. My iMac hard drive ceased working on Sunday, the first hard drive I've lost in, ooh, 26 years of owning and using computers. To be fair to Apple this particular Seagate drive was subject to a recall six months ago and I never had time to get it done. Forced into it now though.
