I don't own a mobile phone. :happydance:
I haven't seen a phonebox in years. I'm just offline when I'm between places. That's how things used to be and there's no reason for it to be unreasonable today. :cool:I don't own a mobile phone. :happydance:
Yes you have mentioned that once before,Dunno how you do it,I couldn't stand trying to look for a phone box these days,plus if you do find one you never know what scungy desease you could get from it
It was Alan Ho and a little more expletive than that. :snigger:Yeah. I remember now. :goodjob2:
I thought I was havingmammarymemory problems for a minute there. :eek:
As correctly reported, 'twas not me, but 'twas AH.
TITS (The Irresistable Texting Syndrome) is very common now.
If people hear a beep or feel a slight vibration in their pocket, they have no control over their actions and must look at it immediately.
I think there will be specific clinics set up in the future to treat this insidious disease.
OK Rick, I just have to ask, what would you do.
Quote from AlanHo
"Today I went to a local retail park. The road entrance to the park has railings at the kerb from the main road and along the retail park entrance road for several yards before a pedestrian crossing. This is to stop pedestrians crossing the road at the junction.
As I turned into the retail park a young woman in her 30's was walking in the slip road towards me on the wrong side of the barriers with head bent down texting on a mobile phone. I stopped - expecting her to walk to the side of the car - but she didn't and walked straight into the front of my car and finished bent over the bonnet.
I got out to see if she was OK to be met by a tirade of abuse which roughly translated was "Why didn't you blow your f......g horn you c..t - you must have seen I was busy texting"
Fortunately there was no damage to the car - or to the young "lady"
I exaggerate not a jot - she was totally immersed in a world of her own- and it was all "my" fault."
:whistler: :mrgreen:
