I've been tidying my work area and its ended up just being a bit of playtime with old tech. Remember the days of genuine multi-day battery life?

I charged this up on Thursday (probably for the first time in >10 years) and it's only dropped one bar of battery.

Those Nokias did two weeks on a charge, easy.

When did you get into the cell phone trade, after moving to the UK?

so i go off to spar
i get in and there is wailing religious music flooding the store.
after 5 minutes it has become chinese torture.

off i go and find the manager.
"where do i find the holy water" i ask
i get a gormless look in return.
"the holy water" what section is it in ?
manager still has the gormless look

"it probably near the bibles and rosary beads" i tell him
he looks at me in a quizzical manner
"do me a favour, wont you check the stock room, i'll be back in 10 minutes, just going to nip off to the catholic church down the road for milk, bread, breakfast cereal, eggs and bacon.


i'm still wondering if he got the hint

Arsenic. It’s the government getting payback for you buying from the street.

Take a prayer mat in next Sunday and set up in an aisle.

I had a dream I was at a Stiff Little Fingers gig last night. They opened with Living Next Door to Alice and the punks in the crowd all sat down and did a co-ordinated dance thing.
