Home phones are a rip off - i get $350 of calls on my mobile for $49.

On my land line telstra take $25 before i even make a call - wake up! home phones are for people who want to waste money. I'm forced to have one for ADSL but be more the happy if I never saw the thing again.

If you don't want people calling you turn it off or put it on silent and ignore, I do it all the time. If my friends bitch i just say i cbf calling you back. If your always lookin at your phone maybe it's YOU that needs a life mate... i only look at mine to tell the time cause i dont like wearin watches.

If you are sick of being on call get a new job ;)

I sometimes pretend I'm barking orders at my minions so I look real badass and stuff.

Hahaha. I talk to my harem of bitches. Similar motivation though.

I find it lame that people have to post s*** that happens in their daily lives on the internet, unless of course it's something awesome like rock climbing or sky diving or driving a really fast car around a track or something. The s*** some people put on their facebook amazes/annoys me. Really? You forgot your car keys but took the bus to work so it's all fine? WHO CARES?

This times a billion for me. Anyone who has ever used LiveJournal, any blogs, MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter or the status thing on their IM software needs to shut the f*** up ASAP.
5 years ago I never could have imagined there could be anything worse than blogging, and then they invented f***ing MICRO-blogging?! f*** me..

Back on topic, I yearn for the days of not having a mobile again, I was like the last person I knew to not have one, it was great! Till I needed one for work.. :( But now that I just use mine like a mini portable laptop for surfing and music when I'm out and bored I don't mind them so much ;D

Why dont try having a conversation with a real person on the bus ?

because I much prefer tearing up small pieces of paper into tiny bits and sprinkling it on the head of the person sitting in front of me.

How can you not have a mobile phone? What if family need to contact you asap? work have a serious situation that you can help with?

I had one briefly in highschool, which I smashed against a brick wall because the missus (now the Mrs Missus) wouldn't stop calling me when I was at lans.

Then I went without until Feb this year when I got sick of not being able to contact people while I'm out. Just don't give out your phone number and it's fine :P

And get use to "who's this" everytime you call someone.

retarded thread is retarded

I'm sitting in a hospital bed with pneumonia, tethering my iphone to my mrs macbook (we swapped last night because I wanted her to bring in more media for me to watch)

i still use my home landline phone... it's cheap... a lot cheaper than a mobile. i have a mobile too but it's usage is low & i just do prepaid.
also my landline has an answering machine for when i just don't wanna talk to people :D

hospital bed with pneumonia

eek! must be a harsh dose of the flu! get well n stuff!

I don't have a mobile and haven't had one for 10 years. I don't see the need to be constantly talking to people/friends. If they want to talk then call me on the phone. No facebook/twitter either.

Although, I will be moving in the next 6 weeks so I'll be looking at changing from largepuddle to somewhere else even though they have just dropped their prices for adsl2 (50G - $69.95 and 200G $89.95). I am open to suggestions...

^ sif anyone expected YOU to have one.....
tin can trunk call more like it.

Get well teqqy :(

Hospital sucks mate. No 2010 visit for me yet! * fingers crossed *

cheers yo, I'm all good now

conversation this afternoon was

me: can I go today?
doctor: we'd like you to stay till sunday
me: I was hoping I could get out of here today, I feel 100%
doctor: well it would be against medical advice
me: its my sons first birthday on sunday
doctor: how about saturday night?
me; how about saturday morning?
doctor: ...mmm ok

coughing up blood sucked a lot but once i'd been in here for 12 hours I'd heard/seen enough of other peoples problems to know that I'm incredibly f***ing lucky and very grateful to only have pneumonia
