Went to my local pub today to have a toot and ran into three people that I knew. Two were immersed in their mobile phones and the third was trying to figure out how to get around his iPad. A new acquisition. Zero conversation, just clicking and bleeping. I will be moving pubs. Or planets.

LMFAO !!!! Same thing happened to me a few days ago Jerome! Texting on their phones and playing games...sick and true!!!! The art of linguistic conversation is in recession!

everyone i know knows my cell phone policy..
1. i dont answer/make personal calls at work(my choice not to)
2. i dont answer calls about work after 5pm
3. my phone gets turned off when Dani gets in from her work.
4. my phone does not get switched on at weekends.
6. i dont inerupt personal contact with people to answer a call(i find that extremely rude)
as you can see, i stick to these rules and everyone knows it...i mean, the world rolled on and people still survived in the days without them.

got a funny one for y'all...
i went in the public toilets at a shopping centre the other week to do a pee and this is the conversation i heard whilst in there...
two guys were in different cubicles right...
guy 1: hello
(silence for a few seconds)
guy 2: hello?
guy 1: how are you doing?
guy 2: good
guy 1: what are you doing?
guy 2: probably the same as you mate
guy 1: sorry mate, im going to have to hang up,theres some idiot in the cubicle next to me who keeps interrupting our conversation!
i laughed my arse off all the way to returning to Dani,told her and she almost wet herself laughing also.
had to be the funniest thing ive heard in years!
