2K6???
For fekk's sake - what is THAT all about.
Is it really quicker to type one letter K than two zeroes...
Biscuit does this with her text messages. Often they are not even abbreviations! Made me smile tho when she got a psychology essay returned because she's actually used textspeke as written English!!
Got my mobile upgrade today, to a Nokia 6101.
How can it be free? I don't understand the economics of that, something is wrong there somewhare and someone is paying for my free phone.
It has an FM Radio - eeeew - which I imagine sounds crap and costs money to listen to, although it doesn't say so in the manual.
If you want a radio - buy a radio! This would make phones cost less.
Wait - phones are free?
Hmmm
Maybe its like cars that come with ABS, CDROM and PWAS and WANK as standard, alongside the AC and electric windows.
I want one without those features please, that would probably cost several hundred pounds less...
15% off EVERYTHING (terms and conditions apply).
Subject to spend value.
So, not quite EVERYTHING then?
Isn't it great when you don't have to worry about the price, Mister DFS?
What, you are giving your sofas away FREE?
No, we are giving you the sofa with nothing to pay for four years and then no interest.
So why don't I have to worry about the price?
Because it won't cost you anything.
So it is free then??
Well, no. Not free exactly. You don't pay for four years.
Bleeeugh
It would be nice if I had enough money of my own not to have to worry about the price.
Oh no sir, we don't want you to spend your OWN money.
That would be ridiculous.
Which brings me back to my One Dream for the New Year.
There is to be no credit, no loans and no overdrafts, no finance.
Ah, but what about mortgages. You have a mortgage??
We should all rent.
Rent?
I can't afford to rent, its more per month than having a mortgage.
It would be less if EVERYONE rented, or just purchased houses with their own money.
That would be impossible.
So that's why we should all rent.
But what about deposits?
A couple of months rent. Save up.
WHAT???
Finance companies hold this country to ransom, and we are all hostages.
Blimey - that was a good rant!
Took Stan to his first swimming lesson today. He looked so TINY!
And I do wish Flo would SHUT UP about this field trip next week. It's great to see her so excited, but she is driving us mad.
MYOB seems like a good piece of software and just what we need in the office. But how come its only £105 from MacWhorehouse and £199 direct from the manufacturer?
