No news. Oh, and for those people who keep sending me text messages (SMS): I've recently bought a mobile telephone with a contract (monthly tariff). My present mobile (pay-as-you-go) has run out of credit, so I cannot reply to any text messages at the moment. As soon as the new tariff kicks in, I'll retain the same number (albeit on a new SIM card) and be able to send text messages. So there you go. Hope that clears that one up. I've chosen to go over to a monthly tariff as I've recently discovered that peak calls to, well, anywhere are prohibitively expensive on pay-as-you-go, and one of the main reasons I have a mobile phone is to make phone calls during these 'peak' times. You see? You see?

Another two minute silence? How many do we need? And why do these things annoy me so much? The only period of silence I've ever understood is the one to commemorate Armistice Day (do we still call it that?). A moments reflection to acknowledge the sacrifices others made so that we might enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today. That makes sense to me. Not to belittle in any way the undeniably tragic things that occur in the world today, but why another two minutes silence? Crazy. I don't understand why our government makes such suggestions. Is that wrong of me?
