An astonishing development

awmperryI know, I never thought I'd be saying this, but there's an actual useful text message service!
As a result I've become slightly addicted to it, and so you might think this post sounds an awful lot like blatant pluggage - and you'd be right - but still. It's lovely and fluffy and brilliant, and you should love it.
Basically, it's AQA (Any Questions Answered), and it does exactly what it says on the tin. You send a text message to 63336 with a question you want answered - anything at all, within reason and law - and you get a message back within a few minutes with an answer. And they're invariably perfectly spelled and punctuated, which is a sight for sore eyes.
Anyway, the longest they've taken to answer one of my questions was about half an hour, and that was a fiendishly tricky one. They've given me answers on everything from the rights situation on a book to the nearest decent chip shop to the NEC, and they are, all in all, wonderful. I don't enthuse easily, as you know, but AQA is great.
