Well and truly licked

As I licked 41 envelopes at work a familiar thought entered my head: I'd make an awfully good secretary/administrator. The whole office marvelled as I quickly and deftly folded the letters to the precise size required to allow the address to show through the plastic window. And I'm terribly helpful on the phone.

Unless you are one of the three mobile phone networks that carry the iPhone. My contract is up next week and I thought I'd shop around for a better deal. But it seems that Apple's Great Leader, in his infinite wisdom, has deals with these networks that means they can't have different prices and can't make offers to keep or entice customers. The best I can hope for is to persuade O2 to give me unlimited txts. Or I could switch to Orange for the same as I have now plus unlimited txts and a new handset. But no option of spending less per month.

Now a cynic might call that anti-competitive price-fixing. I would never dream of saying such a thing.

However I can and will curse them all to hell.

Deal or No Deal has an Alice in Wonderland theme this week, with all of the contestants dressed up as characters from the book. As the player chose one of the boxes, Noel said to the contestant 'Alice! Thank you for allowing us to come into your wonderful land'.

Definitely no double entendres there. I've checked.
