Part of the Brighton Pier burned up last night. I was on a ghost tour of Brighton and, halfway through, a random guy came and told us the Brighton Pier was on fire. It was burning quite well when we took a detour to see it.

Actually, this was the other pier at Brighton. Still, to take both of them out in a few weeks is pretty impressive. The only question is why?

"Who?" might be moderately important as well.

It's better than them pissing in your mouth.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

For the record, I wasn't in the country until 4 days AFTER the West Pier collapsed.
Lee: It was a tour around the haunted places in Brighton. They said the Prince Regent still haunts his suite in the Royal Pavilion. Poor guy.

Convenient...
And me and Tom were fun! I was hot and sweaty from having spent the afternoon at Alton Towers and the evening running around London trying to find THE MAN WITH NO MOBILE PHONE, and Tom was Canadian. How much more fun can you get?

Well, just one SIM card. And the other two are leftovers from my kid brother, which I use for charging the batteries for the third (the phones, not the brother, although he sure has a lot of surplus energy). One of the phones was run over by a car. It works just fine, except for the display. The other was run over by my brother. The charger plug is the only part that still works...
Old phones never die. They just sort of start to decay the moment the dealer hands them over.

I've retained my two oldest Nokias just because I loved the designs; a third I chucked because it was an Ericsson and therefore shite; another Nokia was on the whole a rather boring one and therefore got traded in for my current model. My entire life is run by my phone, if I lose it I'm fucked. 8)
