Happy Christmas

That last post is too negative to leave at the top of the page for the festive season, so before I bugger off for Christmas, I will wish everyone all the best and leave you with two thoughts that occurred to me this week:

1. Does anyone actually use “ordinary zinc carbon batteries” anymore?
2. Am I right in thinking that the new voice of Orange voicemail is the woman from the M&S Food adverts (“this isn’t just voicemail…”)?

If I don’t post again before then, a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to one — Gwen Stefani, Natasha Bedingfield, Akon — and all.
