Do you think they'll use one of o2's favoured couriers

Not sure, I've sent them my details of my credit cards and bank accounts, do you think I will have to wait long?

[sheepdog]

Expect a card saying they tried to deliver whilst you were out.

I believe the value for money with their exhange rate and piracy insurance isn't great. 😉

I shoudn't expect more than a couple of millon at the most then?

Hardly seems worth the effort!
