I'm a Looser

seriously - if my head wasn't attached i'd have lost it by now.

So some good news and bad news.

Good news : My head is throughly attached, and therefore still in my possesion.

Bad News : Phones are like negatively charged ions when they come near me... I've lost my UK phone now so I'm entirely uncontactable. Almost - if you are desperate to speak to me (i know that you all must have a burning desire to speak to me by now) you can contact me at work on 01603 666910 or at my hotel (the GRT Radisson Chennai) on +91-22-24042211 (Room 244).

I can't call out from my hotel room as the last time I did that it cost me in the region of 125 quid... which i'm going to find difficult to slide by the expenses people. Although it'll make the lobster seem relatively inconsiderable in comparison.

I may be getting a new local phone. So hopefully I'll be contactable again for like 4 or 5 days? If I'm lucky. Before the mighty force of incompetance launches the device from my person and presence into the mobile telephonic communication device void that Chennai is becoming.

Yes I have warned orange and had it all disabled. No they wont ship me a new one out. Yes I DO have to get a 'Police' reference.

Although after some arguing the 'Police' reference became a 'Lost Item' reference that I can get from anywhere... which, I suppose, includes the pits of my mind.

Any way - I've been writing this all day and this is all i've managed.

Try to update again this week at some point.

Patch - I thought I would leave a message on here as phones seem to slip through your fingers very easily and you are now almost uncontactable.
Car at ours and SORN'ed.
We saw Sarah in London last Friday and she is fine except she had her bag dipped and her purse went missing - poor old Dad coughed up some cash to tide her over.
I tried phoning your last India phone today (because we could not find your car - but now we have) and had a very nice conversation with an Indian gentleman who did not seem to understand my protestations about the theft of a phone and his family heritage!
I assume that you are going to come back to the UK a rich man as your digs are paid for and you have not got anything else to spend your money on :-)
We are all waiting with baited breath to hear the hospital drama - you need to get typing PDQ.
Hope to speak to you soon - if you can keep a phone long enough to make any calls - Dad

Too right you've become invisible - where are you??
No phones, no blog, no e-mail!!
We've been trying to contact you for ages and nothing seems to be working.
Ring, write or SOMETHING!
When are you coming home? Are you going back? Will you need a lift from the airport?
Get in touch
Lots of love - Mumxx
