Oi! You can?t make the cross and score the goal can you?

[????]

Yellow card

[SeanMacGabhann]

genuinely unintentional - when I posted it was going to be #98 or something and I thought I would make the "gag" but cross postings meant by the time I refreshed it was just there... if the ref rules it offside I'll not contest it

[SeanMacGabhann]

see - another cross-post

fair cop

What's a good cover that won't make it twice the size then?

[Roll Deep]

"I?ll make a note of that for my next purchase after I?ve paid off the electric coffee stirrer."

Don't jump the gun Brendan old scout. In the early nineties I dismissed an advert describing the dental bliss provided by an electric toothbrush. She now sits next to my 'airbrush' for when the mirror can't hide the future.

I have a incipio one that just slots on the back bit so only adds about 1mm on but I have now stopped lobbing my phone around accidentally so definitely worth it. It was about ?8 on amazon I think.

It just gets worse Brendan believe me

[Brendan]

I think I?m starting to get incredulous about my grumpiness.

Good question SP. Mines robust but a but heavy and hogly as hail!! Need to replace it (though judging by the chipped corners and hefty cracks, it has served its purpose well!!)

I reckon the light leather one should stop stuff breaking and screens cracking and keep the weight down.

Hmmm, not sure I should admit this on here but I like rubber. My iPod has a Belkin rubber sleeve and I like that so am leaning towards that option.

[mockney piers]

Oooh matron etc. Whatever works basically.

Well ( lean in here so no one else can hear this ) I ordered two i-phones one each for LadyW**F & myself, yes one black & one white.

I then purchased a Belkin silicon cover in black from CarPhoneWHS , it also came with frosted/clear cover FOC, which on the white phone does look rather fetching in a kind of "Ice queeny" way

Not that i'm unhappy with the Black "boy" look, no but it does look a bit "practical"

So some nights I strip it naked and stare at its shiny bits, Oh as you do

Is this to be what you might call 'a modern valentines day gift'?

Oh my God.. you're not getting them engraved are you?!!

[Roll Deep]

"Oh my God.. you're not getting them engraved are you?!!"

Wont that void the warranty?

[woofmarkthedog]

Dear God

No, but what an idea

"His & Hers"

I might purchase her the Jamie Oliver app

Trouble is she'd have to use "my" pans ( too risky, trust me )

Oh, tra la la

I'm all flustered now

W**F

I just checked.. as it happens, Apple only engrave iPods.

Apparently they can't do iPhones because they are made from a different material which is non-engrave-friendly. I can't comment on the warranty issue of engraving your iPhone yourself. Except to say that if you do engrave it, you probably deserve not to have one.

That said, if you are thinking of engraving, I suggest going with 'to the love of my life' or similar - so you can transfer it to the next love of your life, if need be.

[ratty]

I am still in love with mine after a week. Wife threatening to leave me though!

[woofmarkthedog]

I had a bone shaped dog tag purchased from an auto vend machine in the pets shop in Sydenham Road ( which in it's self was fascinating ) with my details engraved on it & attached to my last phone

Rattled nicely when you spoke to people

Thought I'd "share" that with you

(oh, how bloody sad my life has become )

Yes indeede

W**F

[Roll Deep]

Woof

I have to ask this. Was your brain ever starved of oxygen for a short yet irreparable time at any point in your life?

Just wondering.

[????]

*pulls up chair, opens can of Stella*

[woofmarkthedog]

Well R D ( Hello ???? )*waves*

I once held my breath 'till I was giddy

Does that count ?

W**F

[Roll Deep]

"Does that count?"

Well it certainly helps in satisfying collective speculation regarding your mental balance. But I suspect there's more you're not telling us. For our own good, no doubt.

[Brendan]

No need for engraving if you have one of these fine examples of gadget wizardry.

Ok, I'm a bit stuck. Got my phone. Set it up and downloaded a load of useless and not so useless apps. Only thing is I can't seem to drag and drop any music from my iTunes library into the phone like I would if I was putting them onto my iPod. Any ideas?
