I did it in 11 minutes 3 seconds today. On my own as well, though Matthew decided to bike it!

To pad this entry out a little, I’ll reveal that my Maths coursework on Statistics I was moaning about will be marked this half term… in South Africa. Which is probably as exotic as a hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between a teenager’s height and foot size can ever hope to get.

BT Broadband to increase to 2MB at no extra cost.

This is exactly the kind of news I want to come home to! The existing 15GB download cap will remain, but that really won’t be an issue for us at the moment. I just want speed! Mmmmm…broadband.
