I'm not gonna be on aoc for a currently unknown amount of time. My stupid, crappy internet from stupid, crappy virgin media has finally taken a look in the mirror and committed suicide. Their engineers are "working on it" so god knows how long it's gonna be until I get any internet other than the 3g on my phone.
As a small parting thing I'll leave you with an extract from my favorite book, and a competition with a prize of 12 gold blocks to whoever gets the name and author of the book unless they're allready rich/well off.
"The air took on a thick, greasy feel, and the deep shadows around Mort became edged with blue and purple rainbows. The rider strode towards him, black cloak billowing and feet making little clicking sounds on the cobbles. They were the only noises - silence clamped down on the square like great drifts of cotton wool.
The impressive effect was rather spoilt by a patch of ice.
Oh, bugger"

Oh right. I forget you are not from my locale. >.> £4 though? Really? Is that like... one of those "Hey this is a family plan and we're adding an extra line for this much more" deals or is this like your own plan for that little.. because seriously... that sounds like a bargain.

It's not a family plan or anything, it's from a website that basically gives you some of the commission they get from you buying something via their link, but it was allready on a final chance offer from the main company so it ended up being £4 a month after you've added all the discounts together.

I think that four pounds is like $20 in our currency, but I could be wrong. |

I think the value of the pound has gone down a little in recent times so it's probably a little less than 8 dollars.
