phones for me

I had a phonecall from The Carphone Warehouse yesterday offering me a new phone free of charge so long as I commit to another year on my contract with T-Mobile. They're also throwing in a Bluetooth handsfree kit for nothing and, considering my current one is falling apart, I figured it was worth a seven-day-trial.

So, I'm sat here waiting on them turning up with that little lot so I can charge it up and use it this evening when I go out. Apparently the camera's got a flash and it can also capture video - that could make for an interesting addition to the Baby Otter arsenal. It's got an FM radio and can play MP3s too, so it seems to have all the bits and bobs you'd expect from any self-respecting phone these days. Oh, and it's Bluetooth-enabled, which will help with the handsfree kit.

Rich and I are off out tonight in London. At the moment it's looking like it'll be Piccadilly but who really knows, eh? Anywhere with a good atmosphere; that's not too crowded; isn't occupied by sleazy, icky people; guarantees service within a minute of being at the bar; offers free drinks all night; allows entry without a collar; holds coats free of charge; provides proper grooming facilities with an on-site, free-of-charge hairdresser and beauty salon for which there is no waiting time; and will order us a cab home will do just fine. Failing that, a dancefloor and some decent music. It's very much an either-or case as far as I'm concerned.

I'm bored again. And now I don't even have anything else to talk about. I might be more inspired when I get my phone, though I doubt it'll be even vaguely useable for a good few hours with a dead battery. Hmmmm... the tedium will continue unabated for a while yet then.

I need a biscuit or something.
