Or we could try and get one of them wireless 4G data connections, but that tends to be expensive, although we are poor enough to qualify for the special “pour peepul” rate I think.

I was going to mention some good books I’ve recently read, but it is late and I’ll leave that for next time, unless I forget.

Stay deplorable, my friends!
