This is why we can't have nice things.... round 1.1
I think I'll make a series out of this. read round 1 to get up to speed. Or rather if you want to waste some tim
not exactly round 2 because I haven't quite gotten around to phoning the Orange customer service about the business line possibility. It's winter and it's cold and I'd rather sleep. Also, I'm a bit nocturnal. Their service may be 24/7 but if I phone in at 3 am in the morning, I may stumble on someone with a charming personality (as those who live by night are oft blessed with) at the end of the line.
