00:04.49 | Erwin | We don't want him to lose power though, I think, any replacement can't be as peace-seeking |
00:31.37 | Leeds | honestly, I don't think of Sharon as a peace-seeker - I do think of him as a pragmatist |

07:51.40 | Leeds | mozrat: morning and no problem |
07:51.42 | Leeds | morsing: morning |
07:52.13 | morsing | Leeds: How come you still have your UK mobile? |
07:56.50 | mozrat | er, and tomorrow |
07:56.51 | morsing | Leeds? |
07:57.03 | morsing | mozrat: Fun? |
07:57.06 | Leeds | why not? |
07:57.17 | morsing | Leeds: Money! |
07:57.44 | mozrat | morsing: Should be. "Introduction to Linux" to drag my colleagues up to bare minimum standard on non-Windows systems |
07:58.45 | Leeds | morsing: 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 |
07:59.01 | morsing | Leeds: But 25 years? |
07:59.08 | morsing | Why not change now? |
07:59.11 | Leeds | 25 years? |
07:59.14 | morsing | Yes |
07:59.22 | Leeds | what are you talking about? |
08:00.06 | morsing | Leeds: You say it's cheap enough for one or two years but what about after 10, 20 or 30 years? |
08:00.41 | Leeds | well, you know - there's nothing stopping me from cancelling it next year... or the year after... |
08:01.11 | Leeds | I was going to move it to a PAYG, but they offered almost a year's rental as a rebate when I asked |
08:01.18 | mozrat | or in the next decade |
08:01.30 | mozrat | morsing: whose going to keep their mobile for the next 25 years? |
08:01.35 | mozrat | gah |
08:01.38 | mozrat | Who's |
08:01.45 | mozrat | my grammer is terrible |
08:01.50 | morsing | mozrat: Me - except it's a company phone |
08:03.29 | mozrat | You won't have the same handset in 25 years |
08:03.43 | mozrat | kids of the next generation will laugh at your antique phone |
08:03.45 | Leeds | I 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 |
08:04.04 | Leeds | mozrat: much like locals here laugh at a phone as big and backwards as the 6230 :-) |
08:04.13 | mozrat | :) |
08:04.22 | morsing | My phone is a 6250! |
08:04.42 | mozrat | i have one blackberry as my phone and a SIM with no decent handset |
08:05.07 | Leeds | I have a Treo as my phone, a K700 with my UK SIM in it, and a T610 as a backup |
08:09.49 | morsing | Check it! |
08:09.58 | Leeds | Cock it... |
08:10.11 | morsing | :-) |
08:11.03 | Leeds | which is, BTW, from Shaun of the Dead |
08:11.45 | Leeds | mozrat: incidentally, did you mean 6230 or 6230i? |
08:13.42 | morsing | I got irssi to automatically go to freenode now but it won't automatically join channels :-( |
08:43.16 | mozrat | Leeds: either |
08:43.32 | mozrat | SotD is an excellent film |
08:53.03 | Leeds | pity it looks like the TV show of the movie is dead in the water |
08:55.34 | mozrat | I didn't know they were doing |
