Free Tesco Mobile Sim Card
May 19, 2008
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who had got a free Tesco SIM card for her mobile phone, she has recently got sick of paying out each month and being bound to a contract with one of the main large mobile networks which just did not give her value for money.
Tesco (the UK Supermarket) has been selling Pay As You Go mobile phones for a number of years now, they began by selling PAYG handsets of the major networks, but in recent times they have been mobile phone handsets on their own branded Tesco Mobile network - which actually uses the O2 network much like Virgin Mobile uses T-Mobile.

Hey guys!! I’m just over half way with my new piece of animation, and hope to have it up on the website within the next 2-3 weeks.
If you could take a look at some of the stuff I’ve done so far over at Danny Martin’s Animation Videos and let me know what you think, it’d be much appreciated!! They’re mainly ‘cycle’ animations, but I’m working my way up to bigger things.

Not so long ago I wrote about the Lego Indiana Jones preview video which is a game similar in style to the Lego Star Wars games, but this time round it is based around the original three Indiana Jones movies.

It’s technological brilliance!

It’s been 3 years since Mario Kart came out on the DS and 5 years since Mario Kart: Double Dash was released.
It’s been worth the wait for the next instalment.
I was pondering whether to get the game or not, because I thought “what more can they do?” - the answer…….it’s Mario Kart! Who cares what’s new! So I bought it and it was money well spent.
