Trojan Horse

Another tip best utilised when moving into a new home - how to get Sky Sports past her spendthrift (when it suits her) 'we cant afford that its too expensive / i bought these new shoes they were only £85 in the sale i saved £25%' mind games. First of all you must create the impression that the area is a freeview bad reception zone, which lets face it is half the country. Try putting your mobile phone next to the freeview box when turning it on if you actually dont happen to be in a Freeview free zone, that should run a nice static through it. Then the argument that Sky's £70 one off payment for installation is cheaper and easier than putting up a new 600 ft aerial is robustly convincing. Then, stage three, once youve got the trojan horse through the door there are basically 400,000 channels and she wont know whats going on, what youre paying for and what your not, if you make sure the bills in your name of course (unless you're one of these strange creepy 'we open each others letters' couples that is- ugh) so its time to turn on the big tap labelled FOOTIE. Then Bobs your Uncle (Bobin that is, David Bobin, Sky Sports Presentation Legend), its on, your watching it, all argument is futile.
