The really ridiculous thing is that even the dead plastic phones get pilfered. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d like to see a little ‘testing bay’ or something to that effect. Like a changing room or something where you can go in and make calls, surf, etc. I’m sure all the big retailers could afford a few sims dedicated to such a service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did like the O2 and Vodafone offers that are out there at the minute where you get to take their broadband away for a week for free. I did hand both back very disappointed with the speed. Particularly the ad claims of 8MBs – it barely scraped over 1/3 of that at the best of times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src="http://community.brandrepublic.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=55513" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Honest advice for women</title><link>http://community.brandrepublic.com/blogs/ladygeek/archive/2009/10/07/honest-advice-for-women.aspx#55483</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:27:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0f8ed6bf-041d-4f2c-bb76-9560b958a575:55483</guid><dc:creator>Sarah Waite</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hmm, not sure I agree - I'm always proud of myself when I know my tech.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My dad ordered a camera online a few weeks back... and when it arrived, he hated it. I told him he should order mine - and explained all the features and benefits. I felt somewhat smug when he agreed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This week I kept getting messages that my &amp;quot;start up disc&amp;quot; was full... so I researched online and fixed the problem myself! Almost as pleasing as when I learnt how to change a car tire by myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In general, I think the reason people don't like online dating is because it's synonymous with feeling like you've given up on yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://community.brandrepublic.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=55483" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: I am not quite good enough</title><link>http://community.brandrepublic.com/blogs/ladygeek/archive/2009/09/30/i-am-not-quite-good-enough.aspx#55218</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:15:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0f8ed6bf-041d-4f2c-bb76-9560b958a575:55218</guid><dc:creator>Kevin Gordon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Having watched Fanny Craddock last night, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and having lived through the Margaret Thatcher years, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm grateful not all women aspire to become the boss. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The truth of the matter is, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;most men can't handle power-crazed women, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and neither can most women because&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they are like men's brains in women's bodies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scary thought isn't it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the Holy Bible says:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and how true that is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wouldn't cross a woman, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but then I wouldn't cross a man either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it a question of gender or a question of size?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historically, most influential people are small:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The smaller they are, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;usually the more powerful they are,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and usually the more terrifying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps for a man, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the ultimate terrorist is...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a small woman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be interesting to hear other views.&lt;/p&gt;
