Telecom, shampoo and hacky... 11:06AM

So whats with the labelling on shampoo these days? Moisture Enriching. It works great, I rub it in then wash it out under the shower and hey presto, my hair is incredibly wet, way wetter than before I had a shower. Wow that moisture enriching stuff sure does work. Then theres the Colour Protect. I tried using it for a couple of months, but I am still getting grey hairs. Colour protect my arse. The solution to all this? Buy yourself a pair of clippers and give yourself a #1 haircut. You never have to worry about what shampoo you buy or how well your haircuts going to turn out again. You also save heaps in shampoo (one bottle should last a year) and haircuts. $30 a month = $360 and thats a conservative estimate.

So the big news here at the moment the governments decision to force Telecom to open its phone network to rivals for faster internet services. This has led to two interesting points,

1. How did Telecom find out about this (it was leaked from the Government but nobody knows who leaked it).

2. The loss in value on the share market. Close to 2 billion wiped off their value. I think this sums it up nicely.

Perhaps now is a good time to buy Telecom shares?

So I just went to plug my cell phone in and found the plug hole (in the cell phone) was blocked. It looked like someone had pored plastic into it and blocked it up. How bizzarre. How did this happen? So I found a pair of fine tipped twizzers and pulled the plastic out. It was a little plastic ball that was perfectly the size of the plug hole. For a moment I was puzzled as to how it could have gotten there (and what was it) then it came to me. It was a bead from my hacky. I'd been playing last weekend with my brother and had stuffed them both in my pocket. Somehow one of the beads must have landed directly in the hole and blocked it. Weird.
