Free To Air, GoodBye Express-Vu!
I have had a tumultuous relationship with Bell Express-Vu since day one. In fact, my relationship with Express-Vu is not all indifferent from my overall relationship with Bell.

MS Office 2007 Discounted 91% for Students
I remember driving through the English countryside with my wife’s grandfather Fred as we passed a great big horse cart filled with horse manure and next to it there wasa shovel and a stack of potato sacks. A sign next to it read: 1 bag = £1. That’s all. I commented on how cheap that…
