Are there any other rebels who've yet to be assimilated into the order of the icult? I agree the wizardry is tempting, although a little hard to keep track of.


But I'm not fussed.


I'm happy to keep plodding on with my medieval mouthpiece. Restricted to communication only, with the added luxury of an in-built video camera for those occasions.


So ipeople, if offered an upgrade or a flying carpet, which would you choose?

i haven't got one, i do have a 'smart' phone however.


I've nothing against them as such, but i'm on such a good deal with orange and committed to another 18 months before the iphone was available on orange(?25 p/m; unlimited texts,600 mins, unlimited phone internet)

I don't have an iphone and I refuse to get one until they're as common as muck. I don't want to own a fancy phone that gets snatched from me on the bus home.


I recently had a weekend in Center Parcs (Thetford) with a number if iphone owners. They struggled to get a signal for most of the weekend whereas my 5 year old Motorola basic model was fully operational all weekend. OK I couldn't hear people very well but I had a functioning phone. Now, whenever they try to impress me with their apps, I remind them of the Thetford weekend.

Me.


I love having a phone which I can drop, leave in the pub or smash with a hammer without a care in the world. And even though it doesn't double as an ocarina when you blow into the microphone, it seems to work just fine as a phone.


And my ?8.99 monthly bill (for more minutes and texts than I ever need) from Orange is a delight.

Absolutely - I love them - been a couple of times. I can only do three days mind - then I long for a lung-full of city air. Thetford was running at 80% capacity on the third weekend after Christmas so they must be doing something right. The food isn't good (although it's better than it was a few years ago), but you can just get a big Ocado delivery and take it all with you.

They're tools of vanity. They serve no purpose other than to generate gloating discourse in offices and their associated social scenes.


Gideon: "Hey Ptolomy, have you seen my new squash raquet?"


Ptolomy: "Get f_cked loser. I play squash online anywhere I want now thanks to my handset."


G: "But Ptolomy, I thought we were friends."


P: "Yeah, we were friends until I realised my potential and Appled up."

But what does it do? I mean I know it makes phonecalls, but I have a phone. It takes pictures but I have a camera. In my phone. I think it might be able to direct me to places? But I have an A-Z and tend to find out where I need to go before I set off to go there. It has a diary maybe? But I have one at home - and also on my phone I'm told though I've never used it.


What else does it do? Really, I'm asking!

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
