Phones, not 4 me?

I arranged to meet Mark & Reena at the pub the other day. I deliberately turned up half an hour late knowing that they wouldn't arrive on time, but they were even more tardy than I'd estimated, and hence I had another 20 minutes to kill. So I bought myself a new mobile phone.

It doesn't work.

I took the SIM card out of my old phone and put it in the new one. Actually, to be more accurate, firstly I took the battery out of my old mobile phone thinking it was a SIM card (well how was I supposed to know what a SIM card looked like?) and tried to insert it into the new one. It didn't fit.

So I took the SIM card out of my old phone and put it in the new one. It did fit.

Then I inserted the correct battery, and plugged the phone into the mains. Nothing happened. No flashing lights, no funky ring tones, nothing. Am I missing something really obvious, is there an on/off button or something?

And now, when I try to make my old phone work, it doesn't charge up. So now I am the proud owner of two mobile phones, neither of which works. No, scrap that. Now I am the slightly embarrassed owner of two mobile phones, neither of which works.

Omg, I am sooo previous!

My first 2 days at my new skool

Wednesday
i went bak 2 skl 2day. i went on a train. when i got there i met my teacher, who woz a big scary man wiv a beard. then i went out 4 lunch. then i surfed the net for a bit and then i went home.

Thursday
we went on a skool trip 2day. first we went in a car 2 the airport. then we got on a plane. it was just a small plane, not like the big one in the film snakes on a plane. one of the boys in my class was a scaredy-cat and didn't want to get on the plane. lol. when i woz on the plane i had some fizzy pop. i think it must have been out of date as it made my head feel a bit funny. when i got 2 france i had another drink which made me feel a bit funny too. omg, i think it had petrol in it. then we had lunch. i think they forgot to cook the burgers but no-one seemed 2 mind. then we went 2 the beach n played in the sand. a bit l8r we went bak home.

Continuing the theme...

Is it true that Jo from Big Brother said that she felt like a Guinea-pig in a goldfish bowl? No wondered she behaved oddly.

Some stuff I've learnt recently

1) You only need to sell about 3000 singles to get into the top 40. "Showers for hours" is destined for the charts methinks. If we get a big enough band together (like the Polyphonic Spree), it'll probably only cost a couple of hundred pounds each to download enough singles to get into the charts. Anyone know a drummer?

2) There's a nice restaurant in Uxbridge, called the Martin's Place Bistro. The plaice and prawns in flamingo juice was marvellous. But don't start a fire there as a fire engine can't fit up the road between the parked cars.

3) The guy in the lilac turban says that we're going gambling mad as a nation. But what does he know, he was amazed when a professional gambler guessed five out of ten true/false questions correctly.

4) You're a witch and I pray for your death. I'm allowed to say that.

5) It's bread!

6) Pool and darts were fun today.

Pasta Fagan Edges Black-Ball Thriller

Pasta Rogue gained some small measure of revenge today following his recent 9-ball drubbing, potting a fine long black to thwart a heroic comeback from Mister Guts, securing a 3-2 victory at the East Acton Snooker Emporium.

The Rogue raced into a 2-0 lead, largely based around his repeated use of two particular shots :-
1) the blue ball ricocheting off both jaws of one middle pocket before rocketing into the opposite one; and 2) the slow long pot, whereupon the roll on the table was enough to compensate for the Rogue's lack of accuracy.

Spurred on by a backdrop of Pakistan's Test defeat of South Africa, Mister Guts then demonstrated his bouncebackability by romping through the next two frames, setting up a tense deciding frame. Guts had the first opportunity to take the match, missing a a tricky long black before Rogue stepped up confidently to seal the win.

Bass

The neighbours are being very noisy today, what's that song with the bassline that goes di-di-di-dit-durr-di-dur-dur?
