Well, that was clever

I've killed me phone...

Again. Got out the shower earlier, phone was beeping, I'd received a call or message. So I pick it up, and drop it. Screen is now completely dead and hasn't responded to my usual trick of switching it off, taking out the battery then putting it all back in again.

So, to whoever messaged or rang this morning, yeah, um, sorry. No idea who or what the message was. Normally, an overnight switch off will fix this (it's happened before), if not it's either drive to Torquay to get the spare, very old, handset, or finally getting around to sorting out my contract and getting a new handset. Either is an option, but in the meantime, people can ring me, and I can dial a number I already know, but nowt else. Oops...

In other news, SNOW! I've not seen snow that actually took and stayed on the ground outside my bedroom window wince I was a little kid. Sure, I've seen it in other parts of the country, but not where I actually live. My car is white. OK, it's supposed to be white normally, but today it actually is, and not that muddy brown colour it seems to have picked up since I bought it.

Anyway, finished what I was doing this morning, nice and clean, so off to town again it is.

<misquote>"The greatest trick snow ever pulled was convincing everybody it didn't exist... and 'poof', it was gone!"</misquote>

What snow? At least it means my Tube journey back home will be quiet this evening due to the number of WAHers - it only took me 1 3/4 hours to do 7 miles this morning!

It destroyed the Northern Line all morning, it was still on/off at 2pm. Most annoying.

But yeah, gone now.

Phone. Contract. Good. Yes.

[matgb]

Yup, I've been putting off updating my contract as I wasn't sure if I'd want free broadband and also was thinking of getting a much better handset, but I think I'll just go for a basic one with an MP3 player and be done with it.

I can get a cheaper contract than I'm on and get more use out of it, can't be bad...

Though it may need unlocking - I don't know about these newfangled things - I have a couple of Nokia handsets knocking around that you could try. One was on Orange, the other on O2.

[matgb]

I should be OK, I don't use it enough, and all I need to do is walk into an ORange shop and claim my annual contract replacement anyway.

But thx, if it changes, will give you a shout; was on ORange anyway, so unlocking shouldn't be a problem.

It had to be done:D

[matgb]

Was reading that from my friends page before I got back here to read the comments. I so want to metaquote it, but you've locked the post. Can I?

[ginasketch.livejournal.com]

metaquote away! I'll unlock the post.

[matgb]

Done.

I suspect though, that all the usual suspects are off mocking Anna Nicole Smith, mostly because she broke LJ by dying...

[ginasketch.livejournal.com]

yay!!!

Oh i know. my entire friend's list is riddled with "ANS just died."

Snow! Woo! We had a lot of rain here, and some hail when I went for my walk at lunchbreak (I didn't really care - it mostly just bounced off my hat, and it was funny watching all the people at the train station scurry for cover).

[matgb]

Did completely throw me when I opened the curtains. Everything looked weird and I had no idea why, then my brain slowly figured it out...

[silentgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

yay snow :D

[angelil.livejournal.com]

Have you tried taking your phone apart and putting all the little pieces somewhere warm, like in an airing cupboard, before putting them back together? Usually works.

[matgb]

Um, no, I hadn't. Weird, will try, if I can find somewhere in the house that qualifies.
