The spirit of adventure

It’s rather embarrassing to see that Manchester United fans are wearing T-shirts proclaiming that they’ve won nine Premiership title to Liverpool’s none. It shows a sad lack of historical perspective but if they want to believe that football started in 1992, they’re welcome to it. Yet it rather sums up the two cities that United should be fixated with domestics while Liverpool are on another foreign adventure. Go to Liverpool, and the city looks over the Mersey, a gateway to the wider world, to adventure, to endless possibilities. It’s a place with a global perspective. Manchester? It looks out over Saddleworth Moor.

An article in The Times.

The correct score, of course, is 18-16 and 5-2.

Switch to Airtel is a good Idea

I have moved to Airtel as it offers me one “Value Added Service” that Idea never did – I can sit in my room AND have a functional mobile at the same time!

I am looking forward to not running out of the room in half asleep state when I get a call early in the morning. I am looking forward to people not complaining about how they had been trying to reach me for the past half hour only to be greeted by “the Idea mobile you are trying to call is out of coverage area” – damn right, I was out of coverage area you jerks, that area is my room in the heart of the city.

I am looking forward to no “cross connections” – believe it or not – which had become a common occurrence on Idea recently – imagine hearing random conversations during the middle of your own. I am looking forward to my mobile not dictating the choice of room I sit in – I guess I should sit in the living room as I am expecting a call.

I am looking forward to getting my life back.

PS – My new no. is mentioned at the foot of this page (for website readers only).
