So when can we expect to see "Arthur Pewty's maggot sandwich" t-shirts?!<BR/><BR/>With regards to this posting:<BR/>Hmm...<BR/>Now i dunno.<BR/>I must admit your argument about phones does hold alot of water (mind you so does a bath) BUT I have a mobile and the reason I do is because of the ability to have a means of contact, a camera (I love taking snaps, hey the one's of you with Allen's car and with Shelly & Fluff were from my phone!), an MP3 player, a FM radio etc etc all in one package which is damn useful! My current phone is exactly what I've been after for the past 5 years or so, I actually use most of the functions on my raprod. <BR/>I admit it's very easy, too easy to get sucked in to a 2" screen but I do count myself in the minority as I say the mobile is there for MY convenience when I need it not to be attached 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I have the attitude that if a phone rings I can make the decision to answer it or not which seems the opposite to most people I know!<BR/>I must admit i rarely use my phone as a calling device so never have "warm phone syndrome", I mainly text as it cuts out the cr*p. In a text I can say what i need to, straight to the point.<BR/>I remember the days of listening into conversations on your scanner thing, one really sticks in my mind, intercepting a call between Health Inspectors about maggots being found in an onion barjee from a local takeaway.<BR/>Yuk!<BR/><BR/>You seem to be mostly concerned with the health problems which is admirable but if as you say "..mobile phone users will become drooling brain damaged zombies, leaving just a tiny minority of sane, non mobile telephone using people to rule the country" I thought you'd be happy with that idea!<BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>As for smoking I know I'm guilty of partaking of the evil weed & I can confirm it does help asthma IN SOME CASES.<BR/>I try and justify that as I only smoke when i drink (and then only at weekends, never at home/work/in the car etc) I'm not the same as your 10/20 a day brigade...Sorry I'm going off topic, meant to just sat smoking can help asthma!<BR/>Actually one thing that REALLY gets my goat is people smoking while driving. It's maybe acceptable on a long motorway drive (long straight roads) but in an urban envronment it should be banned. You can't give to road your full attention plus surly you can wait till the end of your trip to suck down toxins?!<BR/>I get incandescent with rage (TM) if I'm in a car and someone sparks up AND then answers their phone.<BR/>I've been known to take the phone offa them and chuck it on the back seat or shout so they can't take the call!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31419460.post-1156014206466907892006-08-19T20:03:00.000+01:002006-08-19T20:03:00.000+01:00I use a "mob" as part of my business and I need it...I use a "mob" as part of my business and I need it for...
