Oh yeah the world would come to a grinding halt if everyone put their pointless status symbols in the bin. Not.

Not quite the entire world, I have a cell phone for emergency purposes, like calling up transport when coming out from a tramp, otherwise not used. I wouldn't even know how to 'text', too high tech for me, not that I have the slightest desire to indulge in such childish behaviour, or to learn the lingo. :stare: :nerd:

Quick and to the point and not at all "childish". Nor do you need to learn the lingo, normal english does just fine :p

Been trying to teach my Dad how to text message.

I think text mesages come into the same category as e-cards.

:thumbs: ...but you didn't know that once upon a time there were hard drives smaller than 1GB :thumbs:

Those of a certain age, before texting was even dreamt of, will remember phones used pulse dialling, post office relays, and Strowger uniselector switches, then there was that lady, Rose Murphy, who sang "Busy Line":

:) Nothing at all to do with this thread, just a leg pull and an excuse to get in a 'tune for the occasion' :)

But tell me, who actually pays the cell phone charges incurred by all the millions of schoolchildren who have a phone permanently attached to their ears or in their hands?
