@khaitu the day I have to send my phone away to get the battery replaced is the day it fails as a consumer product. ;-) #iPhone #pfft

@mattmuller @khaitu if you have to use DIY and eBay, it’s not a consumer product.

A priest on #radio4 suggesting that the internet is a contributor to poor child literacy. Really? On what basis…

Saturday December 18, 2010 - 08:35

Why is it that #radio4 thought for the day has to be religious? I like the philosophical exposition, but would like some secular views too.

Saturday December 18, 2010 - 10:33

Am so thrilled to be stuck in the office, alone, in heavy snow, on a Saturday, the last weekend before Xmas. I should be trimming a tree!

Okay, okay, I take it back. Please turn the heating down again. It’s like a frickin greenhouse in here. But it’s a train.
