yours free ... or not
Permalink  

text from my mobile company:


"we have removed the charge for free weekend calls! This means free calls will never cost you a penny!"


so my previous free calls weren't free... but they are now. a new definition of the word "free" of which i was previously unaware.


note to self: get a life, sam.

Hah.   It is indeed good news that you are no longer required to pay for a free service.


There are of course many grades of 'free' starting from plain old 'free' and going up through such grey areas as 'quite free', 'pretty free', 'very free' and, indeed 'totally free'.  Then there are such side issues as gratuities and complimentaries.


Problem is though that there is no such thing as 'free'.  You'll be paying for it somehow!  And I susepct that it'll be in some way through your nose.

There's no 'used to be' about it.  Once a queen, always a queen.
