A time to blog, a space to be blogged in....

Hmmm what a day!!! In bed with a killer of a headache most of the day...

Another one of those days when I think "I don't want to feel like this when I'm old!" - I don't know how an old fullah would have coped with THAT one!!!

Oh and... I found out today that VodaBone NZ had re-issued my NZ mobile number to someone else... bless their souls... apparently my contract got cancelled while I was in Scotland because my bill was behind and I wasn't reading my post... never mind the fact that I paid my bill up after that and it had actually been in credit since July... they gave away my number which I'd had since 1997 and had been chugging away paying them $30 a month for all these years to keep it active for when I went home again... because I had a very cool number... now I find that if I call it it says "... connection you are trying to reach is not permitted to receive calls." - I wonder if the new owner has let their bill slip too? Or was the guy on the phone at Vodafone spinning me a line? Perhaps it's still mine but in quarantine... the woman I spoke to first said that it was registered in someone else's name... oh stuff it - I guess that's one less bill I have to pay and one less bit of paperwork every month... get a prepay when I'm home next and sod them.

Today I signed up for this... yes I know it looks like a banner ad, and my initial temptation was to "Right-Click -> Adblock Image" but I clicked and... well it's geeky, but kinda interesting too... I wonder if there are any sad sacks in Europe who sneak write down every note they get and enter them ALL in...
