I thought we'd advanced from that?

Sat here minding my own business, a guy opposite me gets a call on his mobile, he answers it, then says give me a moment.

I thought he was going to perhaps wander off so it could be in private.

No, he wanted to stand up and roam around the room letting everyone know his half of the conversation, backwards and forwards he wandered, getting louder then softer.
I haven't seen this in about ten years, why please tell me, do some people insist that a mobile means when they get a call they should wander, rather than just move somewhere more private?

It was by the way a boring conversation, not one bit of scandal.

Yet again then technology being over used, surely following someone would be better?

He certainly had the legs for it.

They would be just targeting one person doing that, go round pubs doing same thing in each one, then take video back and analyze video and bob`s your uncle.

Every one in the world seems to have an Uncle Bob, doesn't mean much, a bit like yourself.

Be honest, we are old technology, sitting there and talking is the best we can hope for.

Wonder if he was related to the number of people using mobile phones on the Tesco Express forecourt, add into that the person sat in the car smoking with the window wide open.

It was by the way a boring conversation, not one bit of scandal.

After a tiring day a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the young woman next to him pulled out her mobile phone and started to talk in a loud voice.
"Hi sweetheart, it's Sue i'm on the train'
"Yes , i know it's the 6.30 and not the 4.30 but i had a long meeting"
"No honey, not with Kevin from the accounts, it was with my boss".
"No sweetheartheart, you're the only one in my life".
"Yes, cross my heart".
Fifteen minutes later she was still talking loudly, when the man sitting next to her, leaned over and said into the phone
"Sue put that phone down and come back to bed".

Sue does not use her mobile in public anymore.
