I saw this advert yesterday and immediately started shouting “BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!” at every opportunity. No-one else had seen it though, so I looked more like a nutter than usual. Now I can share!

First off, against all the odds I survived. I’m here to tell the tale. I’ve been ill though, with festival germs so it’s taken a while for me to get around to this.

I got a message the other week on my BlackBerry about google sync. So now I have my Google calendar synchronizing with my BlackBerry calendar and it totally rocks!
