I bought a new mobile 'phone , a nokia 5300 xpress music on pre-pay t-mobile for £44.99 from play.com , + a £6.99 2gb card for it , and because I'm not very intelligent I've had extreme difficulties with putting music on it ; When I eventually tried it with my laptop I could do so , though I realise that I inadvertantly chose the most compressed , least optimal sound quality format , which is possibly  sort of okayish , and at least the fm radio on it works well , and I'm not at the moment bothered about its camera/video function  .
I do'nt know anyone so I'll rarely be using it to chat  with anyone on . 
I'm glad I gave away my ricoh caplio r6 camera , which I could'nt sell on ebay because I can't figure-out paypal , to my lovely non-friend .

I read today of poor old Sir Cliff Richard , 67 , having been , for several years now , suffering the indignity of having  his records banned from being played on most radio stations .
In 1998 he anonymously recorded a 'rhythm and blues' track in a 'black' singing style which was well recieved and well-played on some stations until they realised who it was by .
In 2004 Tony Blackburn was suspended from his 'classic gold' breakfast show for defying a 'no sir cliff records' ban .
Okay he'll probably keep dreaming of another Christmas number 1 for as long as he lives , but Cliff Richard is a 'living legend' , with a huge 'back catalogue' going back to 1958 , and I'm sure that his 'closet-celibate-gay - ? ' clean-living lifestle has left him in far better shape than most of his popular -music contemporaries .
His 2005 single 'What Car' is in my opinion probably his best  ever .
So why the radio  ban ? - Could it be because he's openly  Christian , most of us are not , and people resent feeling that they might be being santimoniously 'looked down on' , or 'preached at' by someone who purports to  a 'christian' lifestyle ?
To be fair to Sir Cliff I do'nt think he is very  'preachy' ,  and why should he have to conform  to any stereotypical 'sex 'n' drugs 'n' rock 'n' roll' image  ?

So have you , if you're in England or Wales bothered to vote ?
I did'nt  ;  I would have if I lived in London , and the blue-square betting odds I looked at yesterday were  2/5  Boris Johnson ,  7/4  Ken Livingstone , and 100/1  Brian Paddick , which I suspect tells us who'll be installed as mayor tomorrow evening .
