In the UK

Aug 31, 2009 16:22

Have arrived in UK.
Was surprised at number of people still wearing masks everywhere; I thought we were over the flu scare?

I failed to get to a party on Sunday night; I took a quick disconap at 7pm, thinking I might try and get up at 8pm and head out, but I guess it wasn't a surprise that I slept straight through to 5am.

So, have spent the morning sorting out a UK SIM and mobile internet.
I'm on Orange, the number is 077-9281-7239.
The prepaid internet is five pounds per 7 days, unlimited, which sounds pretty good compared to my roaming data costs :P
On the other hand, the "unlimited" bit seems to be a bit naughty, as I'm stuck on 2G, ie. the absolute dark ages as far as mobile broadband goes. Seriously, 10kb/sec - WTF?

Still, enough for the occasional use. I won't be checking my email quite as frequently as usual though :)

Anyway, it's time to get some breakfast, and then head out!
I gather there's a BBQ gathering this evening, and I reckon I have a much better chance of making that one..
Apologies for failing to get to last night's party!

Cheers,
Toby
