Well I am off to Bangalore to work for almost 4 months so I will probably not be frequenting the Townend as much as in the past, however I will be relying on you to keep me reliably informed about the town as I should 'fingers crossed' be able to check what is going on at work!

 Bye

Hope it all goes well Bob, sounds like a bit of a mental idea! Keep us up to date on all the gigs you go to. Govinda.

Thanks folks, looking forward to it!!

Stupid question time. If my dad texts my UK sim card, he won't get charged extra with me being in India? I am pretty sure this isn't the case. He is going to text me the Town defeat score tomorrow.

That should be fine, it's normally the person roaming that picks up the international leg charges.

I doubt there is extra charge for receiving texts anyway (incoming on orange are free).  But it might be costly for you to send them.

Watch out for a Bangalore torpedo, designed in 1912 to blast through minefields, and modern designs still used today

Cheers. I am going to buy an Indian Sim anyway and apparently the credit lasts for ages as calling home is cheap as chips although I will be using the office phone more often than not.

But then be aware  all bets are off. In Canada (i.e. using their SIM) you get charged for receiving texts.

Good luck BO.

I hope to add India to my countries that I have been list to some day.

A tip from people I have met both Western and Indian: DO NOT give to beggars, if you do then they will stalk you constantly for more.

indeed! 26 degrees and sun for the next week or so! Arrive early Sunday morning so I guess i'll have to get acclimatised to the pool!!

We have a thing called Sametime at work which is like MSN messenger and already the Indian guys we are going to be working with are messaging me wishing me a safe flight and that they are honoured to have us over and stuff, they are so friendly!
