  1. Got my new phone.

     

    How bizarre is this:

     

    Before:

    Two year old iPhone 5 32GB

    Monthly paying around 9500 yen on average but differed a bit each month as I was paying for every call.

     

    Now:

    New iPhone 6 Plus 64GB

    The first 8(.2) months the monthly charge will be 5400 yen.  

    After that, it will settle to about 9300 yen.  

    That includes as many calls as I want.

     

    Quite how getting a brand new phone can be considerably cheaper than continiuing with the old one is a bit beyond me, even looking at all the silly complicated numbers, but I won't complain.

     

    They even gave me a present... a mobile charger thing that had a charge stamp of 6500 yen on it.

     

    Cheers!!

  2. By far the best thing to do, without a doubt, is to go into the shop and ask questions. Only then will you get a clear (hopefully) understanding. And often it'll be a rather attractive young lady explaining to you as well.

     

    :)

     

    Info without the interactive talking questions element is just confusing however much you look at it. Smokes and mirrors and 'each case is different' etc.

     

    I highly recommend not looking at info and just go. Ask tons of questions to get a clear idea. It's near impossible to get a clear picture without, er, drilling the staff.

     

    But obviously you should be moving away from Softbank, that's a given! :doh:

  3. Rio Ferdinand has hit out at David Moyes’s tactics as Manchester United manager, claiming some of them were “embarrassing”.

     

    The former England and United defender has set out a string of criticisms of Moyes’s ill-fated reign at Old Trafford in his autobiography #2 sides.

     

    Ferdinand said the players became confused about how Moyes wanted them to play.

     

    “Moyes’s innovations mostly led to negativity and confusion,” he said in an extract from the book, which is being serialised in The Sun.

     

    He added: “The biggest confusion was over how he wanted us to move the ball forward. Often he told us to play it long. Some players felt they kicked the ball long more than at any time in their career.

     

    “Sometimes our main tactic was the long, high, diagonal cross. It was embarrassing. In one home game against Fulham we had 81 crosses! I was thinking, why are we doing this? Andy Carroll doesn’t play for us!

     

    “The whole approach was alien. Other times Moyes wanted lots of passing. He’d say: 'Today I want us to have 600 passes in the game. Last week it was only 400’. Who cares? I’d rather score five goals from 10 passes.”

     

    Ferdinand, who left United for Queens Park Rangers in the summer, said Moyes brought the “mentality of a small club” to Old Trafford. He revealed one of the first signs of future problems was when Moyes banned the players from their ritual of eating low-fat chips on the night before a game.

     

    I kind of want to know all what happened. Though too much dirty pants out in the open...
