I've got your number written on the back of my hand

[venta]

My phone's gone off to be Looked At (and, with luck, Seen To) by the nice phone shop people. I have a borrowed Nokia to tide me over til it comes back, and so I am temporarily bereft of numbers.

So: Please can anyone who sends me an sms sign their name to it ? Even if you *know* I've got your number ? Otherwise there's a strong chance I won't know who you are.

And no, I haven't broken my own phone. Well, only a little bit. It had a bizarre intermittent fault, which I have no doubt they won't be able to reproduce. So, they'll probably just flash it, and send it back to me with all my numbers wiped :(

Random semi-off-topic ranting

Talking of people in phone shops talking a bunch of arse... I went to the Carphone Warehouse with secretrebel at the weekend. One of her requirements was a phone that she could use to get an internet connection to her laptop, and the first guy we spoke to, on discovering that the laptop in question is a Mac, was terribly dismissive and claimed that you could only do that with some difficult to find and/or expensive software. I've successfully used my Sony Ericcson something-or-other with my Mac laptop to get an internet connection, and it worked fine, with no extra software at all, so I told him so, and he refused to believe me. And then, when he'd palmed us off on someone else, presumably because he thought we were difficult, the other guy almost sold her a contract with no GPRS at all, despite extensive discussion about that being something she wanted. It was only when we double-checked (as we thought) that it was possible that he admitted it wasn't. Gits.
