Out Of My Tree

One of the many things I had wiped out of my mind about living at my parents is the almost total lack of mobile signal here. It doesn’t help, I suppose, having the “worst mobile on the planet” but at the moment every call sounds like ‘the last time she called while crossing the Antartic.’ And I’ve always hated the colour. Always.

Logic tells me to take my brother’s offer of his old phone which is on a network who cares about it’s signal strength but it feels… wrong… You see it’s on O2, the network that has the iPhone. Now, there is NO WAY I am going to get sucked into a jealousy spiral of the 100,000 lucky bastards who got one over the weekend… There is NO WAY I am going to drift into Preston and press my nose up against the glass of the O2 Store… But if I hear ONE MORE chav/towny/child tell their friend/gang member/posse that they are getting one I may have to go on that long awaited killing spree.

On Friday there was a particularly evil moment when a teenager with far too much gel in his hair was telling his mate (who’s earrings were just a little too Beckham) that his Dad was getting him one but that he didn’t really want it. Didn’t see the point! It took all the strength in me not to leap over the seat and throttle the ungrateful little… See, totally sucked in.

No, I shall be saving my hard earned pennies (you know when I get a job) and spending them by buying Leopard… and iLife 08…. oh and iWork 08… and then finding a house to use them in. I have a plan, see? Cool software and then place to live. It’s all working out!

Thanks to the gremlins cause by an unruly plugin there is a slight issue with my RSS feed. It will be fixed shortly… Of course, by the time it is fixed you will either not care because you will have read this on your feedreader (meaning it is fixed) or will have come to the site… Me? Make sense? As if!

Update: Is now working… only took 2 hours to figure out it was the MyBlogLog plugin… Grrrr…
