I'll like to have a UK Sim card, anyone have one available? I don't care much about what network it is.

Seems unlikely that there would be a spare (because now is when everyone wants one). But maybe Sam's bulk order has some left still.
There's already a SIM card thread on this list in the last week. I suggest checking there (and replying there) for more details on others recent experiences acquiring SIM cards.

Definitely saw Sam go around with a few earlier but it might have been yesterday (all the hours blend into one in here…)
If not, there are other cheap Sim providers, like Lebara and Lycamobile, that you should be able to find in supermarkets pretty easily.

If you're looking for data, there is a special EE SIM pack that provides 10 Gbytes for £15, which seems like the best deal. Though you have to go to a real EE store to get one of these.
The exact info on the packet:
EE PAYG 4G NFC Combi SIM 03-13

Otherwise, at any Sainsbury Local or TESCO Express, you'll find Orange, Virgin, EE SIM, Vodafone cards for £1, but you'll have to top up right away to start using it. Voice and texts are all pretty cheap, though the data is where you might start to run short.

Sam Reed does indeed still have Sim cards he helpfully informs me. So you can get one off him. :)

Finally I caught Sam and got a SIM! Although nano SIMs are already 'sold out', you can cut it with scissors!
NOTE: You have to provide a UK address and your credit card info when registering giffgaff's account (even if your credit card address is not associated with a UK address.) In that case, just enter UK address (such as Thistle Barbican City). They don't check the credit card address.
