See, for me, the words “Carl Zeiss” and “mobile phone” just don’t belong together. But then that’s because I use a camera to take pictures, not a bloody mobile phone.

Katy – for Christmas i got a ‘Mr. T in your pocket (TM)’ keyring. it has six buttons. pressing a button makes Mr. T in your pocket (TM) utter a Mr. T phrase in a fairly good approximation of a Mr. T voice:

phrase 1 – “I pity the fool”
phrase 2 – “quit yo jibba jabba”
phrase 3 – “first name mister. middle name period. last name… T”
phrase 4 – “don’t gimme no backtalk sukka”
phrase 5 – “don’t make me mad, grrrrrrr”
phrase 6 – “shut up fool!”

i want a Cartman one now…

I would love a mobile phone that said “Quit yo jibba jabba”. But then again I am the proud owner of a Mr T Celebriduck so my judgment is not to be trusted.

Wendy – my father’s friend had a mobile phone in the 80s. It was the size of a decent-sized speaker, with a handle and a normal phone receiver on a curly wire, and it weighed approximately 35 stone.

What chance have I got?
I’ll take the shiny chrome one with the large keys.

when you get a text message Mr T will say “Quit yo jibba jabba”. it stopped being funny half way through the first time but somehow i never got round to changing it.

Sounds like the easiest option. Plus we have a lot of common friends, so I wouldn’t have to change many contacts. What ringtones do you have?

Send it in to Phone Swap Programme, That Bloke, This House, Those Towns, There, TIT1 LOL
Wendy – Was it really 12 years ago? Wow. And you could get a quarter of humdrums for a thrupney bit and still have change for the talkies.

there’s something slightly strange about the fact that i meant to IM you on Friday to discuss my ‘replacing my mobile phone’ dilemma… you want to just swap phones?

“Sony Goran Eriksson”

Nice.

Funnily how quickly things change, itsn’t it? I remember how scarily complicated it all seemed to get when BT introduced their Friends and Family number scheme only 12ish years ago. I think that was the only choice available then. No mobiles (apart from if you were VERY rich and had VERY strong arms), no different tariffs, no free local calls. All you needed to know was who your friends were, and that it was cheaper to call them after 6pm.
