notetoself: Orange are cool!

Okay so recently Orange have been very good to me so I am slightly biased but really they are very very cool! Orange Wednesdays (241 cinema tickets every Wednesday) have meant I could see loads of films again.
I was about due an upgrade again (well actually a little passed it but until my old phone started not ringing sometimes I hadn’t worried about it) so I went along to the orange site to see what phones they had when I saw a great new tariff. I wanted a Nokia 7610 too but they didn’t have it in stock. SO they called me on Thurday to say they had it in stock and would mail it out and switch my tariff.
So expect lots of new photo’s taken with a swanky new phone soon!

notetoself: don’t believe the hype

So Allan and I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11.
Ordinarily I hate films which have been hyped as much as this. I went anyway (partly to see what the fuss was all about and partly to see if it was going to be as bad as I thought).
I was suprised. It was biased yes. It was a shameless attack on bush and the US government. However it was also truly shocking. despite knowing it must have been edited to be far worse than it was the fact that he had so much footage to edit down was bad in itself.
Bush needed no help in looking foolhardy or stupid. The US government needed no help looking corrupt to the core.
I’d heartily recommend this film to anyone. I’d caution though that you will come out wondering how on earth we let people like this run the western world and make decisions on our behalf.
You will no doubt be as shocked as everyone in our audience by the news that most bills passed inthe US are not read by the politicians emplyed to do so.

spammers suck

So [email protected] has sussed that all of us using mt-blacklist or similar bblacklists have added his email address to prevent him comment spamming. Looks like he is now using [email protected] – let’s hope he/she is blocked for a bit longer on this one.
My BLacklist is located here and the spam clearing house is here.

I bought this album when I was in the states a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. Only just caught the video to The Reason and really liked that too.
Allan thinks it’s rough boys music…

bloody hell

I’m doing the walk for life on Sunday and some extremely generous person has anonymously sponsored me ?100. Bloody hell.
I was just saying the other day how I haven’t put as much effor tin this year and the team from work is going to be smaller due to workload and a number of external influences. It’s made my friday all the better!
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far (including those of you wishing to remain incognito)

note to self: stop pimping iTunes

no really – I know I’ve been pimping it a lot recently but…
here’s another link. AOL Music on iTunes :o)

note to self: enjoy it while you can

I was chatting over lunch about Gmail and the fact that I am loving it most for the fact that I only get mail that is addressed to me and from people I know.
I’m sure when the spammers cotton on to it then that may change but so far no spam and no hint of any either. Long may it last!
Mind you that could be to do with the fact I am not handing it out to many people ;o)

note to self: don’t spend too much

See all of a sudden iTunes has launched music store for the uk :o)
you can use your AOL account as a login too!
Also Sessions@AOL are available so if you wanted to hear Dido – White Flag (sessions@AOL) you can :o) Excellent!
