I really don't want to know of the sicky situations Pete :shock: but your right on the hill walking I do a fair bit of mountainering and whilst it's not wise to depend on just a mobile for safety it's amazing where you can get a signal. As a mater of fact I think the only place on earth you can't get reception is in my house even with a transmiter half a mile away mad

I am typing this very slowly as I am shaking with laughter!!! I heard that there had been alot of commotion on the M62 this morning, might have guessed it was you!
But got to admit, I could not live without my mobile, it is my life line to the outside world, use it phone Mr NWC every day, text all my mates, connect up with my laptop (work stuff and cant connect to SH, no adult sites). so yes, I would be totally lost without it!
How the hell did you manage to run over it? I once left mine on the roof of the car and drove off, once dropped down the loo at work (got someone else to fish it out and luckly it was a work moby so they changed it VERY quick) but never managed to run over it!!
Saying that I(did once drive over my laptop but luckly it has a very padded bag and it still worked. I had parked up, got my stuff out of the boot and noticed I had parked very skew wiff, so droped my stuff on the floor, jumped back in the car and straighted up, wondered what the lump was I had driven over, but soon realised when I got out the car lol

I drive one of them SUV's for genuine work use not poseability and was stood by the side of it talking on the phone and drinking coffee anyhow when i'd done making the call I put it on the front wheel :doh: whilst I finished my drink and had a ciggarete (yes I know it's bad for me i've only just started again rolleyes

) anyway feeling quite refreshed I jumped in the car and off I went well for about 2 foot anyway untill I heard a cracking sound confused

I have two mobile phones both on the same network with different numbers but with the same information on each card, I have a spare Sim card with the information on but on a different network. To make sure the information is never lost I download it on a regular basis to my PC hard drive with a flash lead.

Gonna upset everyone a bit now I expect. I have one but I am not realy fan of them, I got one way after everyone else. Only got a camera/video phone about a year ago and that is basicly the feature I use most to have pics and vids of the family on. Its other main use is an alarm clock, saves buying a waste of a plug radio alarm. I have used around Â£10 credit in a year and I make sarcastic remarks at anyone I see using a mobile in a car or worse a Supermarket " I am by the beans now I am getting the beans now do you like beans I am taking the beans to the checkout I have paid for the beans I am leaving the shop with the beans" mad

MObile phones are in MHO useful but over rated. At least mobiles are not as bad as ready cooked chickens or 5 seater people carriers GRRRRR.

...A few weeks ago I found my husbands mobile on the stairs after he had gone out without it. My first thought was to ring his mobile number and tell him he had forgotten his phone!!
:banghead:
Still I am blonde!!!

Nice one - made me smile but to be honest I love it when the phone doesnt ring or for that have to answer 100 emails a day at work :shock: :shock: . Not sure could really do without a mobile now but when I went on hols I didnt use it at all and forgot all about it.
Amazing what I have left on the bonnet of the car and drove off forgetting - purse, shoe, books doh lol

Right a brief update went out this afternoon to get myself a new phone and its sat here on the desk next to me now on charge or rarther was i've just got up to answer the landline turned around walk forward and got both f'n feet tangled around the charger cable and fell flat on my face surprised

uch: I apriciate the sceptics amongst you may find this hard to beleave but I am now 100% convinced my mobile is out to break me either physicaly or mentally :uhoh: :scared: mad
