@nokiamobiletalk I'm usually Blackberry Bold, T-Mobile G1 (especially in the States) and testing the Nokia N97 at the mo

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)
