Eames Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 A well trodden path I know but people who say "I just checked my iphone" or "call my iphone" etc etc. Its a phone you dribbling fucktards. There is no need to advertise the fact that spent more money than you should have on some shiny hardware with obsolete software. Its a **** phone. "Call my mobile" or "let me check my phone" are perfectly sentences that convey your meaning without advertising fruit based rip off merchants in the process. Noone has every said "Call my Galaxy Nexus" or "Just let me check my G3) because they'd sound like utter words removed. As do you with your "iphone" like the silly bitch sat opposite me.

chrisp65 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have one of their godawful products, a 5c. It's utterly fantastic at being blue and at putting photos onto twitter. Actually using it as a business tool it's a step back from my clunky old Blackberry. As for the price of bits n bobs of cable or hands free kit etc., why on earth do people put up with it? I've always known people are suckers for shiny new gadgets perceived as fashionable, but the iphone 5c must be the ultimate piece of crap style over function invention ever. The battery is great too, really impressive, nearly lasted 48 hours once. Nice shade of blue though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 3, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2014 Agreed. I have a 5c for work and I hate it. Its a fine phone for a personal mobile. But as a work phone it's a pile of shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 O2 have given me a iPhone 6 for renewing our contract .. Well 3 of them actually and 9 Galaxy tablets and a £1800 hardware fund We have 23 handsets for our company so no idea why we get everything we do but I just take it and smile each year when they ring me But back to the subject I have an iPad and iPhone and have got to the point that I don't carry the iPad anymore as the phone is perfect for work emails , facebook , Villatalk and the other things one does during the working day Guess everyone has their own needs though ....

Stevo985 Posted October 3, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Agreed. I have a 5c for work and I hate it. Its a fine phone for a personal mobile. But as a work phone it's a pile of shite.Do you have a work phone then?I assume this is a joke that's gone over my head? Yes. Its for work. I mentioned it was for work to make the distinction between how I use it and someone who may use it for personal use where it may be fine. Sorry if it sounded like I was boasting, which I assume is what you were getting at. But Having a work phone is nothing to boast about so I'm not really sure what the joke is. Id rather not have one.

Eames Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 With tablets and mp3s yes. But there really is no need to say iPhone when you're talking about your own phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm looking at a free Motorola Moto X with contract renewal. I still have a flip phone. But data prices have plummeted the last couple of years, so with a smart phone, I'd only be paying about $5 more per month. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But data prices have plummeted the last couple of years, so with a smart phone, I'd only be paying about $5 more per month. Worth it. That's what I did too. Really pleased with my Motorola but I generally use it for telephoning people or even text messaging them. I check villatalk but I've never actually signed in on it because I can't remember my password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Lad from work is married to a Geordie lass. His mother in law says her brother (his missus' Uncle) (sd) has a problem setting up his email on his "iPhone". My mate rings his Uncle in law, to talk him through how to set it up. 20 mins later and being told by his Uncle in law that he can't find anything that he's told him should be there to set it up, and everyone involved is utterly confused. Lad from work plucks up the courage, and asks, "It is an iPhone you've got isn't it?" The Uncle in law replies, "Aye, a Samsung iPhone", 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post leemond2008 Posted October 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Farting with my headphones on whilst in public places, you expect a gentle breeze in the wind but instead get a full on arse cheek rippler, you look around, no one is looking at you, you get paranoid, you have no idea how loud the gas was, are the people looking away out of embarrassment or did they not hear it, you start to panic and it leads to another bout of exit wind, you look around again and now people are looking, are they looking because they just heard you produce two gut busting farts in a public place or are they looking at you because you stand there desperately looking around trying to gauge their reactions all the time making yourself look like a twitchy paranoid freak suffering from a massive bout of agoraphobia, in a fit of desperation you decide to get away and head towards the road trying to put distance between you the crowd that is now gathering and you recently released gas, you forget to look as you steam into the road and nearly get ran over, you take a few deep breaths remove your headphones and walk away like a smelly paranoid boss Edited October 4, 2014 by leemond2008 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 that didn't actually happen, well not to that extent anyway, I just started typing about farting in public places when wearing headphones and it just escalated a wee bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
