Has anyone read the manual for their mobile phone?

Apparently I have a SOS (767) number to dial when I'm stuck on a bad date. I dial it and hang up. They then call me back for 25c and give me the perfect excuse to get out of there and talk me through what to say.

Then, there is the DUI - Dialing under the influence. In case I have a tendancy to call my ex or my boss when drunk, I can diall 333 along with the number before I hit the town, and it is blocked until 6:30am the following day.

What can I say?

SInce nobody ever reads the manual for anything else - probably not.

I considered having a mobile phone once, but all it seemed to do was allow people to speak to me whenever and wherever they want to, regardless of my wishes.

In my opinion, people should not use mobile phones; they should send telegrams as God intended.
 
It was always cool when Sherlock did it.




plus he never had a telegram stuck in his ear while driving...
 
I love those features. Should I ever get a cell phone, I will have to go with that company. I just like their attitude.

In the mean time, I rely on a scrum of street urchins to relay my messages and stake out the lair of Professor Moriarty.

Yeah, but relying on street urchins is costly when you add up the tips. ;)

I just give them horsey rides. Urchins are suckers for those.

Good point.

Still, think accessorise - a cute hot pink mobile strapped to your foreleg to match your hoof polish?

Huh, I thought I was the only one who did that. Oh and Moriarty's next door. I told your latest urchins that and gave em a cookie. Lovely little plague-ridden scamps. I could just eat them up. But sadly, I'm out of parsley.

A little Garlic does wonders for the scamps. (And they think it's to protect them from Vampires. :devil: )

Oh yes, good thinking, keeps others from sampling. Too bad I get enough garlic from the pasta dish. Maybe some sage and I smoke them up a treat. No need to keep them too healthy.
