	www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kxp9fdH5zI Seems to be advertising Three.co.uk As I have never heard of that company before, the ad can be said to be startlingly successful. :-)

	Errol. Never heard of them. Mind, at my age I only really take an interest in Michael Parkinson ads. My teckie advisor tells me they are useless. No one can get a signal, which is apparently quite importnat with a mobile phone. But they do sell rather nice horse burgers. Good ad if they want to product place amongst silver surfers ;-)

	I was hoping Michael Parkinson would interview me in a few years time when I am famous. So I am getting tips. And I do have a mobile - but I can't text yet. :-(

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 7,406 Send Message	Parky ads appeal to a certain sort of person I am sure. Wend you haven't really misse dmuch. John if you have never heard of them how come you have received advice from your personal technical expert? I must watch it again (much as I don't want to) to spot the product placement.

	Think Parky may be long gone by the time you become famous John ;-)
