Why are mobile phone contracts so bloody complex? The 12 months on my current O2 online contract finished in Dec so I am looking around for an upgrade. Problem is, I still like the T610 and can’t find anything that I like more. I would however like to save a bit on the monthly payment and a new toy is always welcome

All I want is something like 100 mins a month of any time, any network calls and a bit of GPRS data. A few text msgs would me handy but given that I don’t think I have ever sent more than 10 in a month I could live without. All of the contracts I can find seem to come with stupid amounts of text messages that I don’t actually want and only a measily amount of GPRS (or more often than not, no GPRS included). Given that O2 seem to have accepted that their GPRS billing is screwed and appear to have given me unlimited data for the time being to stop me moaning at them each month maybe I ought to stay where I am…

On a different subject, some good news from the European Space Agency. After lasts years failure of beagle its good to see something working. I would imagine that UKC publicity are not so happy though - this should have been their news story of the year as John Zarnecki used to work for Kent. He left for the Open University a while back (well after the launch of Cassini) taking half of the space science dept with him as far as I remember. Oh well.

Finally, this made me laugh -the new signs at Folkestone west station are missing an “e”. Not great surprise given the amount of post I get with the same mistake.

PS: bedroom still not touched - maybe another week
