I read this on Sky Showbiz.

He told heat magazine he ended the short-lived romance because of their sex life:

“She was never really interested, whereas my sex drive is very high!” he gallantly said.

“If I ever tried it on, she would have to finish her make-up or be looking her best.”

Pete also said that his ex-Housemate proved to be too high maintenance, commenting: “Her behaviour made me embarrassed.”

But Pete does have cause to be red-faced himself.

He confessed he split up with Nikki over the phone: “I didn’t know how she’d be,” he said.

Well I’m now connected to Sky Broadband. Everything went smooth enough from ordering, giving them my MAC code, receiving the router, migrating over to them on the day they told me and connecting.

Connecting to Sky with their router was a piece of cake. You just connect the router to your PC and run there software which they supply that is pictorial and written for complete dummies. A five year old child could do this as they make it so easy.

The first thing I checked was the speed they had connected me on. Before when I moved broadband supplier my speed remained at the same as my existing supplier even though I paid extra to have the speed upgraded but there was no such problem with Sky.

The only disappointment I have is that you have to use Sky’s supplied wireless router to connect to them. You can’t use your own as far as I can tell. The router they supply is made by Netgear and I’m not a big fan of these. I have found in the past the wireless coverage with Netgear routers not to be as good as they reckon. I even bought one of their RangeMax routers which quickly got confined to a cupboard as the coverage was worse than the 2 year old router I had already got.

The other thing that annoys me about them is that I can’t see the webcam on my site at home as they block the port if you access it locally. It works everywhere else just not in my house.

Anyway for £5.00 a month for a 8Mb connection with a 40 GB download limit it’s a steal. I’ve seen all sorts of mentions on the web good and bad about Sky Broadband and I’m sure they are having teething problems but at least with Sky they have the backing and money to address these problems so I’m sure they will get better.

In the UK if you are looking at ringtones on the internet the charges per ringtone normally range from between £3.00 - £4.50 per ringtone. Bearing in mind these ringtones are normally only snippets of tunes how is it that ringtone companies can justify their pricing?

In the US the average price for a single ringtone is $1.99. At today’s exchange rate that equates to approximately £1.06 per ringtone. A huge difference. Consumers in the US can get 3 ringtones for the price of our 1!

Most modern mobile phones now have the ability to play MP3 files so a cheaper option may be to buy the whole track rather than the 20 seconds or so that the ringtone companies sell.

A single track on iTunes could cost around 79p and bearing in mind this is the full track and not just a snippet it represents great value for money in comparison.

Now the ringtone companies may argue that in giving you the snippet you are getting the best part of the tune for your money. This may well be true but is also down to personal taste. What they think might be your favourite part of the song you may disagree with. With a bit of effort if you have the full track you can edit the file to your own preference and get exactly what you want.

There is a range of software available that enables you to do this, some free and some paid for. It’s something worth investigating if your someone who likes to change your ringtone often or want more choice of what’s available.

Say hello to Pheonix and Georgia.

These are the two rescued rabbits that we got from the local RSPCA.

There are more pictures of them in the Gallery in the Pets section if you want to see them.

Wel it hardly comes as a surprise really. According to the News of the World, Pete has dumped Nikki due to her tantrums.

Seeing Nikki and her behaviour I think she could try the patience of a Saint.

Channel 4 have even launched a program called “Princes Nikki” where she is put into all sorts of horrible situations in order to get her have another infamous on screen tantrum.
