The future might be bright, but Orange are
sh*te! I wanted a PAC code for my mobile (so I could transfer the
number from one provider to another) so I called Orange and
requested it - the Orange person on the phone said that's fair
enough, asked why I wanted one, tried to keep me from requesting it
by offering me a bunch of deals - anyway I didn't want them, Tesco
are currently offering a good deal for PAYG customers (and also my
good lady wife's on Tesco too). Anyway, the Orange person told me
it had to be posted and would take a couple of days to get to me,
she also mentioned most requested PAC codes are never used. The
call ended at that and I waited for the code (and waited and
waited!). After a week I called Orange again, a bit more irate this
time and asked about a PAC code, explained I'd requested it
previously and asked where it was - this time I was told I would
receive it by text within 10 minutes! 10 minutes later and I had
it. So at that point, I put the Tesco SIM in my phone, called their
customer service, gave them the PAC code and was told when to
expect my number to be changed to Tesco - it happened without
problem exactly when they told me it would! So kudos to Tesco
Mobile I guess.

Looking for a WYSIWYG theme editor for
wordpress? Try http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/ it's an online
theme editor, no idea how good it is but it looks like the only
option available unless you have Dreamweaver.
I created my own theme for my Xubuntu site, started at the site
above and generated the bare bones, then made some of my own
changes, personally I think it's pretty neat, take a look and feel
free to download if you wish, it's here -

I can see for miles and miles... |

Ok, so that's a bit of a stretch of the imagination, if you think I can make out what I can see that's miles away! Cos if you look at it scrictly, we can see for more than a few miles - ever seen a star? How far away are they? Anyway, the reason I started this post and the crappy "I can see.." discussion is all due to the fact my daughter stood on my glasses the other weekend and broke them (I can't blame her for leaving them on the kitchen floor though! Haven't a clue how they ended up there but I must've left them there myself!) Anyway, to make a long story a bit shorter I got a funky new pair (well, they're definitely new!) from www.wantglasses.co.uk. They're a great site, based in the UK and selling complete specs for only £25, they delivered really quickly and I got what I asked for! I reckon I got a great deal on them, compared to "high street" opticians, where on the high street could I get a decent looking pair of goggles, including a hard case and delivered to my door for only £25 (use "offer1"as a promotion code and you'll get 10%off - it covers P+P or just about) |
