In a world where a blog is created every second does the world really need another blog? Well, it's got one.
An irregular set of postings, weaving an intricate pattern around a diverse set of subjects. Comment on culture, technology, politics and the occasional rant about life.

Where was I?
Update - The answer was ... unfortunately aboard one of the Ryanair planes that is trialling in-flight mobile phone usage. Incoming texts are free, but everything else bears a surcharge.
Just as it was taking a surreal twist, Niall hit the nail on the head. Spot who else has been flying to Stansted recently!
Funny thing was that I couldn't get signal ... so was unable to receive any incoming SMSes "for free". Searching didn't pick up any available networks ... though they switched it off and then back on again mid flight (reboot perhaps?)

But not a good development.
Nooo! Flying with Ryanair gets even worse!
