Pay my phone bill!

I recently bought a new phone.

Instead of remaining on Orange, I decided to use GiffGaff.

They work on a referral system.

For £10/month I get 250 mins + unlimited texts + unlimited data.

There are no issues with coverage as they use O2's network, because they are a subsidiary of them.

It's a fantastic offer & I recommend that others sign up too.

If you want to sign up for them, click here.

[If you go through me, I get a referral bonus]

Kim Jong-(is too) Il

You are probably aware that the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il has died.

Officially he died of  a heart attack caused by "great mental and physical strain caused by his uninterrupted field guidance tour for the building of a thriving nation"*.

Out of curiosity I asked on Twitter if anyone has seen any pro-Kim articles. I then went over to Facebook and saw that a friend had "Liked" the Juche Idea Study Group of England.

It seems to be a North Korean propaganda group who are based in Winchester.

I wonder if they have any talks planned? It'd be interesting to go along to one.

UPDATE: There is a piece on the Guardian about how the West should now work with North Korea. It has a pro-North Korean lean, but is not strictly pro-Kim.

UPDATE: Yay! A pro-Kim piece from the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist).

* I would link to the official North Korean state media's site, but they don't let to link to individual articles, but it is headed "Medical Analysis of Kim Jong Il′s Demise"
