i found your blog a couple of days ago via other london transport obsessed blogs. via a friend i found we have a mutual acquaintance. i've enjoyed your musings about bow as i used to share a flat in an old tower block in e3 a couple of years ago.

I recently upgraded my phone from a brick-type one so old that they ceased producing it a few weeks after I bought it. I wouldn't have upgraded it, either, but I was having to hit the screen against walls to stop it flickering. Sigh.

I loathe mobile phones. Mine is four years old and I haven't even switched the damn thing on in six weeks.

I have the Nokia 3330 which was a hand-me-down from my brother. I think it's a good few years old now, but apart from not turning on occasionally, it still works fine. I do however have a great computer that plays games and sends email and all that stuff. For some reason I've yet to want to combine the two.

Spending money on myself isn't something I've ever had a problem doing ... maybe I should take a leaf out of your book!

I ventured into a mobile shop on Saturday too, and bought one of those things that lets you download tiny videos of Premiership goals. My own T68i will now languish at the bottom of a bag forever more. That's all because I'm moving, and in terms of reception in the new place, the T68i was on The Wrong Network.

(Oh, and in doing all that I managed to halve my monthly bills for the first year. No doubt they'll be equivalent to the GDP of Burkina Faso once 3's subsidies go away.)

I have a T68 with the upgrade too and ditto - far nicer than the T68i. No plans to change it at all. Anyway, aren't they just for emergencies?
