I'm Lovin' It

No, not McDonald's. I'm very recently one of Eircom's predicted 100,000 broadband users. There's something to be said about downloading the MTV Movie Awards Matrix: Reloaded parody at... pretty high speed while my brother is on the phone beside me. That something is "Tee Hee".

As a small but greatly appreciated bonus, my first venture online with DSL greeted me with an email from CD-wow:

We just thought you would like to know that we have successfully negotiated a better price with our suppliers in relation to the Region 2 - The Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers: Extended Edition (4 Disc Set) title from £25.99 to an amazingly low £22.99!

We realise that you have paid the full £25.99 so as a goodwill gesture we are passing this saving directly to you!

So I get a £3 voucher because I paid about €10 less than I paid for the first Lord of the Rings instead of paying the €15 less that it is now. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I'll assume that 'Lionel' is 'the brother'. I could speculate as to whether the name is a reference to Lionel Blair, sometimes mistakenly referred to as Tony's brother, but the whole concept is just so highly unlikely that I don't think I'll bother.

oops.

More likely that the TV was on in the background. The Simpsons is pretty much part of the scenery in that house. More so now, with the arrival of season 3!
