Hotel tweet I just snagged
I always bring a sound machine to hotels. Cant sleep without the soothing sounds of woodland creatures licking their anuses clean nearby.

Motorola Xoom from ecell via ebay
I have been lusting after a tablet PC for a while now, but could not justify buying one, my Archos finally upset me one time too many and I bit the bullet and went to ebay.
On the 26th May I purchased a Motorola Xoom from ecell with an expected delivery date of 6th June, Bank Holidays, weekends 200 miles up the road and Royal Mail all contributing to the length of time taken for delivery.
Here is a link to the listing on eBay :http://tinyurl.com/66zb3yh
A few pertinent items from the listing are as follows:
Unlocked, SIM Free, No Operator Logos so you can use any Pay As You Go or Contract SIMs
GPRS, Edge and WiFi Data connectivity.
Messaging: SMS; MMS; Push Email
Powerful OS - enables you to fully customise your phone's capabilities.
Micro SD support for cards up to 32GB
As I was going away I emailed them on the 3rd to check that they were despatching it that week and got the reply that it had been sent out by Royal Mail on the 2nd. Imagine the glee when I went to work (Royal Mail) in the morning expecting to pick it up, glee turned to dismay when after several more days it had still not turned up.
I emailed them requesting a tracking number, which should have been supplied in the original notification of despatch and was told that RM won't look for anything until 15 days after posting, finally on the 9th.I got an email with a tracking number for a next day delivery, on checking the system they had not posted it until the 9th seven days after they originally claimed they had sent it.
I have had loads of things to do around the house, we went away for the weekend and didn't really have a lot of time to play with my new pride and joy, I spent a lot of time researching the pros and cons of rooting it and installing a custom ROM or putting the US firmware on it to get the Android update and decided to leave it stock for a while and started downloading all the software I have on my phone for it and some games too, I tried putting Hancent SMS on and the Market said no, when I checked there was no native SMS on the device I started to wonder why? I put a PAYG SIM in and still no luck, so I sent a link to the download from my Android phone, took the SIM out of the phone and put it in the Xoom, still no luck and no phone network either.
To cut a long story short I delved around the software and the interweb to find that despite what the advert said the Xoom I had been sent was actually WiFi only, It had a slot for a SIM and an SD card, neither of which are supported, although the SD card is available after a ROM update.
During the time all this fun was going on I opened the "Genuine Motorola Leather Case" I had ordered from another supplier on eBay, only to find the leather was PLASTIC, I nearly went for the Tough Luv leather option as their case for the Archos is very good and was beginning to wish I had paid the extra, I contacted the seller and they were dismayed at the mistake in the listing, changed it immediately on eBay, apologised and offered a full refund. Having tried the case I decided to keep it.
Meanwhile back on the Xoom front, I contacted ecell to complain that the item I had brought as a 3G connected Xoom was actually a WiFi only model and how did they plan to correct this error.
This morning I received an email from them containing the link I posted at the start of this post, saying they had sent me what they advertised and what I paid for, my reply is below.
I am sure this will carry on for a while, hopefully I will get a 3G Xoom soon, to make it even worse someone called Keef from the UK won one from Slashgear while this was all going on
Dear e_cell,

So to recount your advertisement says I can put any contract or PAYG SIM in the device as it is factory unlocked and had no network operator logos,it has GPRS and Edge data connectivity, I can receive SMS and MMS messages and save files to a micro SD card. A point here is that micro SD is not supported yet.You also say that it is an amazing Tablet which will enable you to fully customise your phone's capabilities to support your lifestyle.
So after reading all this information regarding SIMs, GPRS and customising my PHONE why would I pay you more for a WiFi only tablet than I could have brought it in a local retailer?
I wouldn't have,I brought this in good faith as a 3G connected tablet as advertised and expect you to supply me with the same within the next 7 days.
Thank you

Been a while, been busy and just been sent this, is it for real?
Alan Lake's final solution
To end any further doubt whether the EDL are being stage-managed by neanderthal football hooligans like Jeff Marsh, or hardcore neo-Nazis, you need to look at the comments online posted by the EDL's bankroller, the saviour of the hardcore fascist "Swedish Democrats", Alan Lake, as he forsees a future of Hitlerite Berlin-style Ghettos for Muslims in twenty years time, with summary executions for "race traitors", after the EDL has (in his view) successfully managed to destroy multiculturalism, and turn Asian and White people into sworn enemies.

FanPhone or Android
The only way to tell the difference between an elite developer and a homeless person is his iPhone. The homeless guy probably has Android.

Lowlife van drivers.
These pictures are all of vans driven by the people I work with.
The tyres are all the work of one man, the ones with the canvas showing through were replaced with a new set that in a couple of months turned into the kerbed rim and the other bald tyre.
The mobile recycling collection points are from other future Jeremy Kyle guests.
