What phone?
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007
Who would have thought that choosing a new phone would be so damned difficult? When I bought my Sony Ericsson w810i, I went in to the Carphone Warehouse and said ooh, this looks nice! Can I have a play? The sales guy duly obliged and after offering me 8 months half price after cash back I signed up. It was so quick and simple so what has changed?
Sony Ericsson do it for me. I’ve played with my Dad’s Samsung and my Mum’s Siemens and I just don’t like how they work. For me, ease of use is key.
So I’ve been looking around on the net for various Sony Ericsson deals. It’s pretty likely that I will stay with Orange to avoid overcomplicated things – say what you will about other networks but I have never had problems with them, in fact they have always delivered to me just what I’ve asked for.
So what phone? What deal? Mobiles.co.uk has been at the top of my bookmarks for some days now, but despite a wealth of variety in phones and providers, I find myself looking at the same pages time and time again.

Florida 2007
Thursday, October 11th, 2007
Where to start? That holiday was well needed. It didn’t quite blow me away but it definitely took the edge off of what was starting to boil at work. Seven nights in Orlando without a single drop of sunscreen and I return unburned and sweetly tanned; at least on the visible parts.
It was the first time I had flown on an aeroplane since my last holiday, which was all the way back in 1998. Damn – was so close to being able to tell people that I haven’t had a holiday in 10 years. It was exactly how I remembered it – cramped and long. The flight out took off at 12:50 local time and was actually fairly comfortable. A good book and Blades of Glory kept me entertained for most of it. The food wasn’t half bad either. The dessert was a little chocolate mousse that was heaven in a pot.
The weather on arrival was dismal with thunderous showers all night but thankfully that was the worst of it. Florida showers fall hard and fast and without warning. Although they were prevalent during our stay they were few and far between and short lived.
