    Mobile phones

    Are they a great thing, well yes they are I say.
    It's a phone ,it's a camera and a computer and maybe other things too.
    But they can be a pain, people don't lo where they are going when texting, people don't talk to one another they would rather check the face book, and everyone knows what you are going to eat too.
    But my biggest problem with the mobile phone is when someone will not answer it.
    The other day Emma's phone was ringing, " who's calling me", well answer it Em and you will find out.
    Don't know the number, " answer it Em".
    No I shall check the number from the computer, a little later she finds out it was virgin with her new phone, then she calls them, I just looked on

    Yep.... when you actually need them for something useful....


    Of course I normally press the wrong button anyway and cut the caller off.


    Do they think to wait a couple of minutes while I either get the damned thing out of my pocket, or remember how to answer it ... and then call me back ?
