It appears that threatening to port a mobile phone number elsewhere causes an immediate rethink of policy.

O2 have written to me apologising for an error on their part - it seems that the 20% loyalty discount will continue to run for a further 12 months until November 30th 2004.

Well, I'm always willing to be bought off. With that discount there isn't another pricing system out there to touch it at my usage rate.

A victory for the whining consumer, Yay!

Today I am mainly practicing my old man walk. I can't quite shift the nagging back and although it comes and goes, there are times when I find myself creeping along most gingerly.

By and large it seems that once the muscles warm up, the pain reduces. Unfortunately sitting at a desk hacking away means that the muscles need warming up again every time I stand up, and standing at the keyboard is counter productive on the old lumbar and coccyx. I know; I tried for a while.

Time soon, to go out and get the lunchtime sarnies. I suspect I'd be best advised to allow a few minutes longer than usual for the trip so that I can move more with a slow dignity and less like Patsy and Eddie after a binge. Amusing to watch, less so to do.

That mercury idea is sounding more and more tempting if only it would work....

This country seems to have forgotten how to run a competent train service.

Fek. Fekkity Fek.

That is all.
