Had a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator.
Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in?
And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)…

New Year Resolutions.
1: Sing more.
2: Stop thinking about joining / putting together a new band. It's not worth the agro.
3: Try to save up for one of those Fender Tonemaster Bassman amps.
4: Stop collecting Billy Gibbons type dirt pedals.

It's all brilliant, but just the bit between red and white blood cells gave me a really strange (but somehow satisfying) feeling of vertigo.
