Ringtones are appalling. Throw away your phone devices and get a proper music player. And get those tattoos removed! Bring back paper bags. Why doesn’t anybody wear acid washed jeans anymore? The word is “failure”, not “fail”. When I was a lad, this was all fields. Get off my lawn!

Offline I’m bored, that’s why the rant.
Ringtones really do annoy me though. People taking 4 seconds out of their favourite song and leaving their phone at their desk then walking away to leave it to play at 9-second intervals for the next minute, minute-and-a-half…argh!

When I’m 64, it will have been 100 years (to the year, not day or even month) since A Hard Day’s Night and Beatles For Sale came out. A little less fitting, though.
But… I thought you were (are) fourteen?

Well, you can do it here! Dig it?

Great video Anna! I’ve been wondering the same thing lately and here it is no work required on my part! I hope you do another once we get to page ten.
@MrMoonlight I usually have lots of pictures on my phone and when I put them on my computer it makes a lot of space (well…more space) for music on my phone. Maybe you could try that if you have lots of pictures.

Offline Failed my philosophy retake yesterday. I knew I should’ve gone to bed instead of going to school just for that. It was such a weird exam, with crummy sentences and weird questions. You had to get 67% right and I had 61% or something. When I saw my result all I thought was ”yeah, well, tough luck”
Phone is still dead too. Put it in one of those tupperware things with rice. It goes on now, but I think the screen is broken. I wasn’t really addicted to my phone, but it’s rather annoying when you can’t reach people, especially if you work in groups. Also, I was expecting some important phonecalls and I’m going apeshit if I find out they’ve called already. You only realise how dependent you are when it’s not working.

We went through the author’s proof and submitted our final 3 tiny corrections. The paper comes out next month. Here’s the e-mail I just got from the editor of the journal.
I have to compliment all of you to say this was one of the easiest groups of authors with whom I’ve worked.
Awwww, I think I will frame the email. Ahhh Girl is grinning from ear-to-ear. I am the one who was the main contact with editor during the whole process.

@Ahhh Girl Will you post the link to the paper when its out so we can read it or will it be too far over our heads? And congratulations on the feedback.

I never answer my mobile – I only use it as an answering machine – so I could happily go months without it – there is always a mailbox nearby if people need to get in touch.
I fondly recall the days we lived in the country in Wales completely out of touch with the rest of the world and doing just fine.
However, I hope it gets sorted – I know how folks today depend on the things.
Re the exam – if it is any consolation I was thrown out of University 3 times for various failures (failing exams, failing to attend, failing to notify failure to attend – on it goes). I now have three degrees including first-class honours in Economics. It’s all a question of timing.

Offline I’m always happy to state i do not have a mobile phone. I detest the things and how they became everything to people – they forget their kids and its whoops, silly me, but forget their phone and its panic stations and melt downs in case they miss a text or a phone call or cant update their status on facebook.
I go on the principle that if they want me they can get me and if not then sod off.

mmm, if I have built up any shred of coolness on the forum, it would be destroyed after folks read a few sentences of stats and jargon in that monstrosity. I’ll spare the forum and try to maintain my reputation.

I didn’t own one until 3 years ago and it’s a flip phone at that. No internet on my phone, no iTunes, nothing like that.

I don’t think I could live without the internet on my phone. I did my mod duties in Europe from it. We travel light when we go over there. We don’t want to carry around ANY extra/surplus pounds or ounces so a laptop was out of the question. My phone got me through (with help from my BB friends who posted pictures for me). I do my mod duties from it here at home too sometimes. Waiting in line in the grocery story, waiting for meetings to begin, on my lunch break in the break room, being quite so I don’t wake anyone when I wake up during the night or early in the morning…I’m with the BB in some form or another on my phone.
