You've been able to text questions and receive replies from services like AQA and Texperts for a while now, but radio station TalkSPORT has just launched its own service called 'Ask Terry', powered by mobile firm ROK.
It works the same way as its rivals, with you texting Terry plus your question to 81089, and getting an answer (usually) within ten minutes. It costs a quid, and is designed to settle those endless pub arguments you get while watching football with mates. Well, apart from the ones about whose round it is, anyway.
ROK promises questions will be answered with a dash of humour. We tried asking 'Why don't footballers wear tiny tight shorts like they did in the 80s any more?' and got this reply back: "Footballers have had to extend their shorts due only to fashion. Long gone are the tight shorts and speedos that we saw in the 70s. I still wear mine though."
