Probably shouldn't have played this REALLY LOUD on headphones just before bedtime: http://youtu.be/JThMpr1fv1o I might never sleep again.

Nice of @samuelpepys to provide some entertainment while I slave over maps of his wanderings.

@megp Yes, it gets easier. Congratulations!

@yoz @RandomEtc Apparently Kelley Deal of the Breeders used to a be a programmer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelley_Deal

@robsog Interesting... has that happened recently? (As they have none in stock at the stores generally.)

@mik3yb Oh, clumsy me, I appear to have dropped my pen. Would you be a dear...?

@danhon Oh, not sure about the "unlocked" bit though, not sure O2 do that, yet.

@danhon Yes, they say they have them in stock.

@mik3yb Ordering this phone from O2 has only taken an hour so far and I need to call back tomorrow to finish. Get me a coffee, sugar tits.

@mik3yb It's complicated by also wanting to switch from an expired contract to PAYG. This is boring. Will you be my PA? :)

@mik3yb Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, dealing with O2's call centre idiots seems like more hassle than waiting three weeks for Apple.

@mik3yb I'm being (relatively) cheap and wanting a 16GB, which is in very short supply.

@minifig Yeah, I saw that. Am torn between the extra cost and being patient. But thanks.

3 weeks wait for an iPhone 4? Can't just buy it? This is exactly like living under a dysfunctional communist dictatorship. EXACTLY like it.

@brrdatplay Thank you, will have a look.

@Zoonie Heh, the reviews of that book all say "After reading this I realised accounts are simple!" But I get your point :)

@rod Looks good, thanks!

Bugger, dropped iPhone, broke screen. Joy at thought of new one overwhelmed by feeling sorry for having abused my trusted old friend.

@dracos Yes, she is - what more recommendation do you need!

Anyone know of a brief, simple book/site/pamphlet that explains company accounts well at a broad level? I'd like to understand mine! Ta.
