The Importance of Being Idle

It Is Time For Shedding Our Enemies Blood!

Well, I was extremely annoyed this morning. I went to the Orange store in town to get my phone switched only to be told that they don't do that in the store. I questioned why that was, as I'd bought the phone from them and as it had ceased to work they were my first point of call, but I was told, rather condescendingly, to go home, call customer service and they'll have another one sent out to me. I'll admit their aftersales care left a lot to be desired, it seems a simple enough task to ask them to do what is required right there and then rather than telling me to do it myself and stop bothering them, so I spoke to the manager and questioned the companies after sales service and the actual purpose of the Orange store if they can't do anything whatsoever to help me with my problem with an Orange phone. It's sorted now (I did have to phone customer service, I knew they weren't gonna change policy on my account, I just wanted to point out that it was for me a very inconvenient and unhelpful policy), and a new phone should be winging it's way to me as we speak (although sadly another K850i, no chance of changing it even for a lesser model). But I was pretty annoyed.
Then Blizzard made the announcement at the WWI and all is forgotten. Diablo is BACK! Good as Hellgate and particularly Titan Quest were, the king is back and now all we can do is wait. Knowing Blizzard we will be waiting as well, as ever there's no mention of a release date yet (hell, Lich King and Starcraft 2 aren't even out yet!) but it doesn't matter; Diablo III is coming and all is right with the world!
