00:04.06ErwinWell, "mild stroke" as I read it
00:04.49ErwinWe don't want him to lose power though, I think, any replacement can't be as peace-seeking
00:31.37Leedshonestly, I don't think of Sharon as a peace-seeker - I do think of him as a pragmatist

07:48.49morsing'morning
07:51.40Leedsmozrat: morning and no problem
07:51.42Leedsmorsing: morning
07:52.13morsingLeeds: How come you still have your UK mobile?
07:56.50mozrater, and tomorrow
07:56.51morsingLeeds?
07:57.03morsingmozrat: Fun?
07:57.06Leedswhy not?
07:57.17morsingLeeds: Money!
07:57.44mozratmorsing: Should be. "Introduction to Linux" to drag my colleagues up to bare minimum standard on non-Windows systems
07:58.45Leedsmorsing: when I signed up for a new contract, they gave me enough of a rebate (in place of a new phone) that it's going to cost me almost nothing to keep the phone for another year
07:59.01morsingLeeds: But 25 years?
07:59.08morsingWhy not change now?
07:59.11Leeds25 years?
07:59.14morsingYes
07:59.22Leedswhat are you talking about?
08:00.06morsingLeeds: You say it's cheap enough for one or two years but what about after 10, 20 or 30 years?
08:00.41Leedswell, you know - there's nothing stopping me from cancelling it next year... or the year after...
08:01.11LeedsI was going to move it to a PAYG, but they offered almost a year's rental as a rebate when I asked
08:01.18mozrator in the next decade
08:01.30mozratmorsing: whose going to keep their mobile for the next 25 years?
08:01.35mozratgah
08:01.38mozratWho's
08:01.45mozratmy grammer is terrible
08:01.50morsingmozrat: Me - except it's a company phone
08:03.29mozratYou won't have the same handset in 25 years
08:03.43mozratkids of the next generation will laugh at your antique phone
08:03.45LeedsI don't use it very much, but I've had the number for about 7 years, over 3 networks, and if it's going to cost me a minimal amount, I'd prefer to keep it and be able to use it in the UK
08:04.04Leedsmozrat: much like locals here laugh at a phone as big and backwards as the 6230 :-)
08:04.13mozrat:)
08:04.22morsingMy phone is a 6250!
08:04.42mozrati have one blackberry as my phone and a SIM with no decent handset
08:05.07LeedsI have a Treo as my phone, a K700 with my UK SIM in it, and a T610 as a backup
08:09.49morsingCheck it!
08:09.58LeedsCock it...
08:10.11morsing:-)
08:11.03Leedswhich is, BTW, from Shaun of the Dead
08:11.45Leedsmozrat: incidentally, did you mean 6230 or 6230i?
08:13.42morsingI got irssi to automatically go to freenode now but it won't automatically join channels :-(
08:43.16mozratLeeds: either
08:43.32mozratSotD is an excellent film
08:53.03Leedspity it looks like the TV show of the movie is dead in the water
08:55.34mozratI didn't know they were doing

09:24.50LeedsCope: the correct way to complete that is "but that's not important right now"
09:26.13Leedsas in: "Can I ask you a question?" "Yes, what is it?" "It's an interrogative statement, used to test knowledge, but that's not important right now."
