Good book. Especially the part about English sayings that we use every day with redundant words in e.g. 'wrack and ruin', where both words almost have identical meanings.

The Holiday Inn website has "Queen's English" as an option

You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like.
I'm on a computer.

Have just bought! Is there a list of the available cases online you can obtain using the case app? Was going to just get the bumper but thought it might be worth seeing what else was available.

Yup, or at least there was when I downloaded the app for the case. You got to view the available ones once you opened up the app.

Went for the Griffin Reveal Etch as it's definitely the slimmest of the lot and will protect the back of the phone. I really can't be bothered with cleaning both the front and the back of the phone all the time. If it's no good I'll sell this one on and find something better.

That's the exact one I got and I really like it. It covers the back completely, doesn't stop you using the buttons at all, and is a little bigger width wise so you can place your iPhone face down and the screen won't be resting on the surface as there's roughly a 1mm bumper on the front. Very nice case

Random useless information: My 3GS has an identity crisis - I'm currently using a ringtone I nabbed from an Android device.

Yeah, mine took a while too, about 6 weeks I think in total, but I picked up a cheap one from an O2 store to tide me over till it arrived. I could always loan you that for a while if you want?

Don't worry, I'll just be very careful until it arrives. Thanks though!
