Are there any other rebels who've yet to be assimilated into the order of the icult? I agree the wizardry is tempting, although a little hard to keep track of.


But I'm not fussed.


I'm happy to keep plodding on with my medieval mouthpiece. Restricted to communication only, with the added luxury of an in-built video camera for those occasions.


So ipeople, if offered an upgrade or a flying carpet, which would you choose?

I've nothing against them as such, but i'm on such a good deal with orange and committed to another 18 months before the iphone was available on orange(?25 p/m; unlimited texts,600 mins, unlimited phone internet)

I don't have an iphone and I refuse to get one until they're as common as muck. I don't want to own a fancy phone that gets snatched from me on the bus home.


I recently had a weekend in Center Parcs (Thetford) with a number if iphone owners. They struggled to get a signal for most of the weekend whereas my 5 year old Motorola basic model was fully operational all weekend. OK I couldn't hear people very well but I had a functioning phone. Now, whenever they try to impress me with their apps, I remind them of the Thetford weekend.

Me.


I love having a phone which I can drop, leave in the pub or smash with a hammer without a care in the world. And even though it doesn't double as an ocarina when you blow into the microphone, it seems to work just fine as a phone.


And my ?8.99 monthly bill (for more minutes and texts than I ever need) from Orange is a delight.

Absolutely - I love them - been a couple of times. I can only do three days mind - then I long for a lung-full of city air. Thetford was running at 80% capacity on the third weekend after Christmas so they must be doing something right. The food isn't good (although it's better than it was a few years ago), but you can just get a big Ocado delivery and take it all with you.

They're tools of vanity. They serve no purpose other than to generate gloating discourse in offices and their associated social scenes.


Gideon: "Hey Ptolomy, have you seen my new squash raquet?"


Ptolomy: "Get f_cked loser. I play squash online anywhere I want now thanks to my handset."


G: "But Ptolomy, I thought we were friends."


P: "Yeah, we were friends until I realised my potential and Appled up."

But what does it do? I mean I know it makes phonecalls, but I have a phone. It takes pictures but I have a camera. In my phone. I think it might be able to direct me to places? But I have an A-Z and tend to find out where I need to go before I set off to go there. It has a diary maybe? But I have one at home - and also on my phone I'm told though I've never used it.


What else does it do? Really, I'm asking!

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By beansprout · Posted

      In the country, where I have relocated to these things and dealing with council  for all matters are dealt with  in days… freely admit less population than london. Certainly faster in everything.  Not surprised at all about Thames Water - remember years ago calling them about a leak in road - then it took a week for them to come out, despite daily calls from me. Disgusting at that time the lack of concern and wastage of water. Unbelievable that they are not held to account fir anything and that goes for Southwark Council as well.

      But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance?  When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣

      But in many cases the leaks are happening in the same places again and again, and every inch of pipe outside the Horniman on the South Circular must have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 15 years! Of course the infrastructure in some areas is old, but locally there's been quite a bit of replacement. To little effect it would seem.

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
