steve_b_wales Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The two of us were just watching the news, regarding the old red telephone box, and how they are being phased out. She commented about how many people now how mobile phones etc, so there's no need for them. She then went on to say, 'I remember my first mobile phone, it was pay as you go'.'When I first had it, I didn't know how you put the money into the phone.' I reminded her not to tell anyone outside of our house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Me and the wife were late starters with mobiles, and I was the first to cotton on about assigning a name to a number. Well I changed my name to 'some bloke' on her phone and made a few missed calls to hers when she was out. When she got back I told her some bloke had rang several times for her but hung up when I answered and she swore down that she had not given the number to any man. I had my phone under the table and rang it again when our daughter was with us and she grassed me up. The 'some bloke' alias kinda stuck.

pegasus bridge Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I had a weekend job in my youth working at 'tandys', around 97 when the first payg phones came out- one of the networks ran an advert that feautured a picture of coins being inserted into a phone, we used to get several people in each day asking for the mobile 'pay phones' who genuinely thought they took coins!

Tedly47 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I've got one of the original vodaphone phones, the one with the phone on top of a Battery pack that was the size of a breeze block... my father had them fitted to his wagons and he needed a mobile version, the sales man turned up in a new Porsche 944 Turbo in brown!!! Took me for a spin to keep my dad happy... bloody hell them were the days.... On another note, my good lady is very intelligent however she's blonde and sometimes comes out with comments that can only be described as "hopelessly stupid" I do love her though!!!

Royboy Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 My girlfriend has a degree in herbal medicine, has a good job but has no common sense at all, We live in a village and the nearest town is about 20 minutes away and I know for a fact she would get lost trying to drive to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
