McEnroe has a deep knowledge of his chosen sport, he's witty, speaks well, and people tune in to listen to him. Many of his fans will have watched his rise from bratty little ratbag to erudite elder statesman of the game, and enjoy being " in his company" so to speak and listening to his insights. I completely agree with this.

I completely agree with this. Well Gary Lineker's case is exactly the same. People have followed his career for years too, and that career was an extremely positive one for England supporters. He has the same depth of knowledge as Mac does, etc. If you don't watch football you probably can't appreciate his talents though.

Confused? I certainly was. I followed a link to the BBC News on Google without looking at the URL and found myself wondering if the Beeb had been hacked. I didn't recognise the language to begin with and then it dawned on me; I was on a BBC News site I had no idea existed. It was the news in PIDGIN. Yup, it was all in Pidgin English, for, one assumes, Nigerian readers. Evem down to the "cookies" agreement, which reads: It's not a left over April Fool gag, a lot of Nigerians (and a few other countries) use Pidgin. So, if you wan some fun, then go di bbc pidgin bin dey site www.bbc.com/pidgin wia you fit read wey concern "Di tiny Indian village wey claim Kamala Harris as dia own" amongst oda tori

Uhhh. So here's a weird one. Peter Berg the director of 'Battleship' and actor in many films may have just liked a positive comment I made about his film on FB.
I think it might be him because I'm not sure he's so famous that he needs to hire a social media technician to manage his FB.

Martin, I'm afraid the film has a bit of a cult following.
In my case I saw a preview for it when I'd gone to see a film called Skyline. From that moment on I waited for Battleship for a year. When it finally came out it was better than I'd hoped for.
The sights and the sounds were incredible. The acting was fine but I was there for the thrills.

That's ok man I'm a bit sensitive about Battleship.
Ive been through a lot fighting off angry anti-Battleship hordes since the film came out.

I girded my loins and decided to move my phone number from one Three account to another.
Twas not easy
Must have taken 30-40 minutes, maybe more but I may have actually done it. Tomorrow may tell
Three suggested I use WhatsApp - so what, you might say - on my laptop - and I got it working.
So I hope to save one phone bill and use WhatsApp with a decent keyboard
If the phone doesn't swap I will have WhatsApp

You can only use the Windows WhatsApp in conjunction with a real phone, not independently.
Saying that, I find the WhatsApp for Windows app immensely useful.

The use of the laptop keyboard is what I want. Phone keyboard is highly frustrating. I was banging away on the laptop and the phone kept making noises, as if nodding in agreement ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Not only that the number change has worked. Next is for the old contract to stop taking money which looks hopeful

Again I hate the tiny phone keyboard
