I did it, I bought it.... I'll have the new iphone this week.
I'm using a combination of excuses, what one would you like to hear? I got a few lined up.

You alright?

I'm going out
Shortly Gonz, what excuses have you come up with?

In other news, I'm absolutely dandy thanks. Off out for dinner with a mate, and hopefully out again tomorrow. So life is pretty busy.

Oh, loads and loads of justifications.
- £400 for the phone, I'll get £150 for my old one, I'll get £300 when I go to sale when the iPhone 5 comes out, so that's £50 profit over the lifespan.
- Getting a new job at way higher wages.
- Being depressed over losing the best job I've ever had with some top people.
- Dead Dad's Jewish Annerversary* in a few days.
- Haven't been out with mates for ages and ages.
- Phone being a nightmare to use during this time when I really need a good comunications tool.
- eBay wouldn't accept the payment the first 3 times and I thought my card was broken but it turns out it was declined because its an unusal purchase and by that stage I wanted to know if it would work.
- I really really want one.
- My old phone, the HTC Titan, is great for watching video, it's better for watching video, but my Playstation Vita is even better still and I use that now instead, so the prime function of the phone that I got it for is no longer needed.
- Galaxy S3 & HTC One X got anounced/come out so there was a slight price-drop to two weeks ago.
- I cleaned up my flat and its looking imaculate.
- Bank holiday weekend and I have no socials on.
- I'm taking less painkillers than the maximum I'm allowed for the last couple of weeks and I've done it all without the wobbly-bob pills too.
- It's a sunday.

I never said it was a date.

Well, you're no fun.
This is a site full of shut-ins. We need some kind of excitement.

I could do with the excitement.

What've you been up to, recently, anyway.
Not seen you for ages.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 6 May 2012, 16:58, Reply)

Don't lie, Gonz.
It's because you really wanted to buy that iphone case I showed you, and you can't use it with an HTC.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 6 May 2012, 16:01, Reply)

How is your website coming along?

I think googling "Iphone case" might get a handful of results.

( Lisette von Falcon, Sun 6 May 2012, 18:45, Reply)

I agree.
All iPhone cases are shit, they make the phone look rubbish. I've dropped mine on the pavement about a dozen times and it's still looking brand new. I'm also fully insured so I couldn't give a flying fuck what happens to it.

Hello. Quick message to Lusty and Monty. Thanks for an 8 pint afternoon.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Sun 6 May 2012, 18:11, Reply)

Yes Gonz.
Fuck knows how I lived without mine before, the only people that don't like them are people that care too much about technology (fanboys etc) and people who can't afford them. EVERYONE would swap their phone for an iPhone if someone came upto them and offered them one for free instead of their current one. Except for about maybe half a dozen other phones.
I speak only in fact.

It was 1994 when I saw that film (bootleg VHS with SMPTE time code and "Property of Miramax Films" emblazoned across the screen)

But even then I ain't mental on it as a whole film, but it does have some very good scenes =)

I am typing this using two unpacked boxes as a table.

Although my broadband won't be transferred until the 22nd for some reason
there's a BT FON wifi hotspot somewhere and since I'm a BT broadband customer I can use it. Dunno about downloading large files though.

Those public wifi things are gash, I've never got the hang of them.
Whenever I've tried to enter in any of my accounts that have given me free access (Orange Mobile, O2 Mobile, O2 Broadband, Vodafone Mobile, Orange Broadband)... the activation or whatever proccess always _always_ fucks up somewhere and all I get is the sign up page that conviently only sems to work if you want to put moeny in.
