A lack of blogging denotes a lack of character

I know this. You don’t need to say anything.

Mobile

So, Fiona’s mobile temporarily died, which seemed like the perfect excuse for us to get replacements. I’ve never had one before, and have never really missed the lack, but there’ve been a couple of times when it would have been useful to have one, so I’ve bought into the global communications conspiracy.

Not wholly, mind you. We went for basically the cheapest, most frills-free options available. It makes calls, it receives text messages, and if I forget my watch it will tell me the time. About its most useful function is freeing me up from having to find my address book when I want to call someone whose number I haven’t memorised.

Should this somehow include you, send me an email and I’ll send you my number.

Another lazy weekend

Actually, it was anything but. Had another long weekend as I work off my excess leave before I’m Deemed (a Public Service Capitalisation denoting the odd practise of just striking you off as being on leave whether you’re at work or not). Ironically, because of the short week, that means that I had to come into work on Saturday and do overtime to pull together some documents for a meeting this week.

No, there’s no reason why any of that should make sense to you. It doesn’t to me.

If you don’t play World of Warcraft much…

…then this will make even less sense to you. But it is, in fact, bloody hilarious.

So should I now be considered thoroughly characterless on the basis of my lack of blog?

Hrmmm....

that, and the fact that you have no grammatical gender.

that's right, polly prissypants, on the basis of your lack of blog...

Okay, that's all starting to get a little surreal...

Also, I'm pretty sure I have now customised the ringtones down to "buzz" and nothing else.
