After a crazy slanging match with a Sony senior customer service miner (because, let's face it, being a CSR is the twenty-first century version of working down the mines - commoditised, badly paid, and herded into pens), who basically said I'd imagined the whole wrong-postcode-no-delivery scenario, even though I have documentary evidence, I got home from a great evening to find it delivered when it's not allegedly arriving till tomorrow.

Slightly surreal moment - I'm half-watching Jonathan Sacks on TV talking earnestly about the "big questions" in that superfluously earnest voice he has. He can't imagine anything worse than rule by religious rulers. He just said that in Ancient Israel there were kings with power and prophets with no power, but who remembers the names of the kings? He for one doesn't, but the words of the prophets go on forever. But that's not true, because I remember kings David and Saul, and a host of others. You're just wrong, Jonathan.
