  7. Unsure if this should be in the deals thread, but Record fan collects every UK chart hit in history Keith Sivyer bought every new release from 1952 until February this year. Now his extraordinary collection is going under the hammer Single-minded Keith Sivyer bought every new release that entered the UK single charts since their inception in 1952 until his death in February aged 75. When he divorced from his wife in the mid 1970s he moved back in with his mother Louise along with his collection. After his death his younger brother, Gerald, was left with the daunting task of finding a new home for the collection. He found approximately 27,000 7ins vinyl singles and 8,000 12ins singles neatly filed in alphabetical order on purpose built floor-to-ceiling shelves that covered the four walls of Keith's lounge. The collection has been divided into three lots for the auction, with the 27,000 seven inch singles conservatively estimated at £6,000, the 8,000 12 inch records at £1,500 and 10,000 CDs and cassettes at £600. The sale takes place on May 21. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11576512/Record-fan-collects-every-UK-chart-hit-in-history.html lots of pics in daily mail It's like the tardis ...

Google Announce Project Fi http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/google-bursts-into-the-wireless-industry-with-project-fi/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/22/google_project_fi/ https://fi.google.com/about/ https://fi.google.com/about/faq You'll need a Nexus 6 Initially (or pay for in only 24 easy monthly payments) - so they're not pitching to iPhone users, yet and the pricing of $20 + (GB used * $10) may only seem cheap because of how expensive / data non-PAYG other plans are ... What usage patterns does this make sense for (in terms of TCO/coverage) , compared to say T-Mobiles $30/5GB plan ? But interesting to have a virtual / MVNO plan that allows roaming to provide extended coverage. Thoughts?
