I'd like to buy a mobile phone. Can anyone help?


Recommended Posts

Where Ebay shows us how far we've regressed intellectually, the invention of the mobile phone, that latter-life comforting titty, has shown us how ridiculously self important we are. I once thought it sporadic, it's actually far too abundant.


Having said that, I can see their function in times of crisis as somewhat valuable and plan on purchasing one soon. My problem is that I don?t know which one to buy and to that end, maybe someone can help me. As I said, I really just want it for emergency purposes, I don?t need one to take bad quality photos, I have a bad quality camera for that. It doesn?t need to record anything, although I can see the beauty of that to some but not I. It won?t be necessary for it to make obnoxious squeaking tones at every step and I don?t want one that will turn me into a loud mouthed delinquent; like we see so much these days. I wonder also, is there a phone into which I wouldn?t have to shout at the top of my voice in order that whoever I might speak to can hear me? Also I?d need one without the automatic ?dough boy? facility, you know, the phone which presumably emits a ringing tone that compels the user to suddenly jump up in an absolutely quiet, yet very public, place and march around like an erratic robot roaring monosyllabic inconsequentials that only suffice to wake the slumbering, post feeding babes and napping pensioners within a 200 yard radius. Yes, it would have to be a phone which does not turn me into an absolute moron, like.....


.... the one owned by a certain ?Ms. Cottrel? [sp] who, on the 30th of November 2007 on a packed train between the South coast and Clapham Junction (where she alighted to a reverberance of dumbfounded laughter and amazement), saw an advert in the paper she was reading, promptly and in far less less than dulcet tones, ordered Bon Jovi tickets on her phone within clear earshot of at least a dozen people, giving her name, address, telephone number, credit card number, security code & email address to the booking office clerk. Her 15 minutes of fame and a lifetime of ridicule! Or.....


.....the one as owned by ?Phillip?, who, whilst waiting for a flight in the main lounge of the South terminal at Gatwick Airport on Friday the 18th of July 2008, decided the time was ripe to order travel insurance for his upcoming trip to Turkey, Hong Kong and New Zealand giving the self same information as the aforementioned Ms Cottrel, loudly and clearly in the vicinity of five other people, two right behind him and self included. No no, I don?t want a phone that will turn me into an inexplicable bonehead of the highest order, I just want one that will be handy in emergencies. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Surely, in your case, the answer is in the price. You quite clearly don't need a phone costing a lot of money as you would be paying for all the things you don't want. Get yourself a cheap pay as you go phone for under ?20 and you're sorted

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
