Snow!
Every year it comes around, this year it came down quite fast.

Snowball fights prevailed, and some nutter even wrote ntl in the snow 
HAH
P900
Finally after a week of deliberation, deciding which one to get, I ordered my new mobile phone yesterday.
I was going to get the Motorola v600, which is a great looking little clamshell phone (would have been my first clamshell as I’m not really fussed on them), but decided that it really was too similar to my current phone to bother with.
If anyone can remember, last year I owned the Sony Ericsson P800, which is a PDA/Phone, it was excellent, with touchscreen and everything, but decided to get rid of it, partly because it was rather large, and partly because I could, at the time, get a lot of money from selling it on eBay (I managed to get £380 for it).
Well, Sony Ericsson recently released an upgraded model of the P800, aptly named the P900 which incorporates a slightly smaller body, but a hell of a lot of new or upgraded features.
For instance, the main selling point for me was the upgraded screen.
The P800 could only display 4,000 colours, so the screen contantly was a kind of blue-tint colour, which made it look very unprofessional, and to be honest, was quite annoying.
The P900 has fixed this, and I’ve never seen a screen with such clarity before on a mobile, it’s absolutely amazing.
So that is being delivered today, well, I say delivered, I’m going to be at work so I’m going to have to go down to the CityLink (yes, who I used to work for) depot later and collect it.
10 years, so fast
The BBC have a great feature on the amazing Bill Hicks, who died 10 years ago today.
Apparently he’s bigger than ever right now, which I think is amazing, as I don’t know anybody else that has heard of him.
But his comedy is so relevant today, which is why he is having a revival.
George W. Bush is EXACTLY like his father, and Bill Hicks’ comedy about Bush Snr. shows that.

You can find a lot of MP3’s from his shows on Kazaa.
Routines that I recommend you download:
Officer Nigger Hater (about the LA riots, don’t worry, not racist)
Me & Saddam (Hilarious)
Hooligans (about British people & football riots)
In case you were wondering
Why the site was down last Thursday through to Saturday,
I thought the server had gone down. Spent an hour or so trying to fix it.
Then realised that I had let the domain (hintofsarcasm.com) expire haha. How stupid am I?

FFS!
Sorry to keep moaning on here about work, but I really do get really really wracked off with people.
They call you, and expect you to be two things;
1) A mind reader
2) Able to work with the minimum amount of details
For example, just got off the phone to a woman, “my connection isn’t working, i click connect, then the first thing it says is “resetting modem” nothing else.”
Now, this cannot be, unless there is something seriously wrong, it would at least dial, or try to dial the modem.
So, we do it together.
Click Connect, what does it do? It dials.
Then it comes up authenticating.
Then it comes up “username/password rejected, please check and try again”
So, is that resetting modem, madam? No. You have put in the wrong password.
If you rang up anyone else, say for example…your insurance company.
And simply said to them, I need a new car.
They would ask you why, if you said then said, I don’t know, theres something wrong with it, they’d laugh at you and tell you to fuck off.
So don’t do it to us!
Total Insania!
This is crazy! Shows how quickly people try to cash in on something.
You can now get the Peter Andre “Insania” ringtone for your mobile!
It comes in more than 10 different styles from Rock to Happy Hardcore, LOL.
Here’s my favourite one insania.mp3, mind you at £4.50, I shan’t be getting it on my mobile just yet.
Well, I’m not going to pay for it anyways, shall beam the downloaded MP3 via infrared later from my laptop to my mobile I’ll be the coolest guy around with my Insania ringtone 
John Kerry for Pres-O-Dent!
He looks like the only alternative at the moment.
His manifesto seems fair.
Just get Bush out is all I can say.
John Kerry for President!
Ssssh!
Teacher ‘taped boy’s mouth’
Ben Deacy alleges his mouth was taped during a lesson at Llanrumney High School, in Cardiff, last Thursday.
It is also claimed that the teacher involved in the incident wrote in a school report which the boy took home: “Excellent work - once I taped his mouth up!!”
Good for him.
The Teacher that is.
Have you ever been in a classroom?
The kids DO NOT shut up, they DO NOT settle down easily.
Taping up mouths should be policy for every unruly child.
People complain that the standard of education is below par at public schools, this is only true because of the childrens attitude to working.
You have my support Mr Teacher.
