		<description>Oh joy. 

I got a colleague sooooo good with this one. It was really, really hard to keep a straight face as we discussed market capitalisation, valuation, per-subscriber cost and the assumed value of a zero-tariff in exchange for compulsory ads pre- and post-call.

Then he was off to Google the deal, (obviously you have been linked to all over this am) and it took a good few minutes before the inevitable&#039; oh, maaaan&#039; came from the other side of the room.

Almost as good as my other colleague who turned up a month early for a high-power dinner at the BT Tower last week (&#039;please take a seat sir...it appears you aren&#039;t on the list, sir...&#039;) and another who overrode his iphone and mac clocks, adamant that time went backward on Sunday. He then spent until 2pm wondering why the world and everyone in it seemed slightly out of sync.

Happy days.
