Mobile phones – I am not amused

On Sunday afternoon I arrived at the MS to get my fix of Heineken cup rugby.
I settled down with a pint to watch the game. Next to me at the bar were a young couple with mobile phones that they used incessantly. If this wasn’t bad enough, they then swapped phones to ring exactly the same people on each other’s phone. Why? I have no idea, but it was apparently very important that they did this.

At half time the young girl headed for the patio for a ciggy. I said to her, “Your phone bill must be enormous”. She laughed and said, It is”.

A car stopped at the traffic lights began honking its horn and the occupants began waving in her direction. She came over to me and said, “Excuse me, but I think the people in the car are trying to attract your attention”. I replied, “I am pretty certain that it’s you they want”. The girl looked back at the car, and giggled “Oh yes”, before exclaiming, “they are my friends”.

And my point is that excessive use of mobile phones in pubs not only annoys other customers, but it will fry your brains to the point where you can’t even recognise your friends.

Christmas Decorations

As Christamas fast approaches, festive decorations are appearing around the town.
This character has appeared in the front garden of a MS regular.
Nice one!
