    It's actually open but I don't advise you to climb through it.


    (There is a bucket of bleach under it.)

    When I went on holiday I used my Android everyday - maps, email, Facebook. It was nice to communicate to friends. Wasn't so pleasant to receive client emails and calls.

    I think next time I won't take it (or take an old fashioned mobile phone for emergencies only).

    And as for fecking data roaming charges!?!?!?! My god, what a rip-off.

    Without wanting to sounds trite, it was one of the better tech decisions I have ever made. Now have a tri band nokia that makes calls, and sends texts. I even forget it sometimes as it has that little impact on my life now.

    Terribly addictive.

    The wife and I down tools on Friday night and ensure we have active weekends away from internet as a family. It works well, but was hard at first.

    Try getting virgin media as your broadband provider. You will get regular periods of time with no internet.

    Of course you will have to amuse the kids as they can't watch dodgy videos on youtube.

    Fortunately I am with both O2 and BT Broadband. This means I am frequently given the opportunity to take time out from the internet.

    It's full of drivel. I wake up and the first thing I do is reach for a device. My Name is MF and I am an addict.

    I'm sure RH could arrange a 30 day ban if bribed.
