The new phone

Martyn had an upgrade to his mobile (cell) phone today. He had a long and complicated list of requirements:

1. O2 network
2. Shock and water resistant
3. Loud ring tone

The ~~sales assistant~~ mobile communications specialist was happy to give him a free upgrade to a Siemens something or other, seeming a little flustered at not being pressed for all the new gidgets and widgets.

He got home at 15:00, had the battery charged by 17:00 then disappeared into the garage. He emerged trimphant 15 minutes later with a brand new ring tone. The sound of fishing line screaming out of a centre pin reel. Bless.

But like any boy with a new toy, he’s keen to explore all its features. If he takes one more secret bloody picture of me I’ll ram the sodding thing down his throat.

*And breathe*

Surely you must know by now that men treat gadgets as penis extensions? Why else are phones and remote controls usually oblong shaped?

Lol! You’ll have to learn how to secretly delete the secret photos, when his mobile’s not glued to his side.

I think it only fair, having piqued our curiosity, that you post a sample of said photos.

Ah, men and their gadgets *sigh* what can I say? The hubby works for an electronics company, need I say more?

Hire the people that hacked Paris Hilton’s Sidekick. Let them delete the photos.

That’s what’s known as plausible deniability.

Hey Daisy - found a great excuse/reason to come here when I’m at work - all your accessibility resources for the guide to web design I’m doing. Not sure how long I can string this one out for…

That’s hilarious. Particularly as the Doc’s gribbets for a text and moos for a call…
