MSNation

I've not been too well these last couple of days so I've spent today at home, I would have been extremely bored but for the fact that I got to spend time talking to some great friends. One is in the states, two in Sheffield, some in London and one in Greece. Now, if I'd spent the ammount of time talking to these people on the phone that I did, I would now own telewest more money than I have in my account. Instead, I owe nothing. Well nothing more than the broadband line rental. MSN is a wonderful thing. True you can't actually hear or see the person (unless you use a mic, a webcam and don't use a mac) but you can spend as long as you want talking, remeniscing, learning, advising (hope you like the film Jo), joking and having as good a conversation with your friends, with the added bonus that you get to distract each other from the things that you should actually be doing, like work.

On a seperate note, had possibly the most bizarre phone conversation with Sam and Hannah today:
[the phone rings, I answer]
Me: Hello?
Sam: Hi, it's me. Where do Nuts come from?
Me: The grow on trees
Sam [to Hannah]: they grow on trees.
Hannah [in background]: really?
Sam: really?
Me: yes, have you not heard of acorns, or chestnut trees?
Sam: of course, chestnut trees.
hannah [in background]: what about Peanuts?
Sam: what about peanuts?
Me: tree
Sam: ok
Me: why?
Sam: we were just talking about it. bye
[phone goes dead]

There's simpy nothing I can say to follow this.
