Agreed - we should giveaway to the lore of Twitter, that is quietly and unseemingly flexing its muscles

I won't MOPE too much, but I find Twitter a waste of time.

What dare I say about Facebook and Twitter (and the likes) - other than that I hope they are short lived and soon die out

Technology can get addictive: I rarely leave HOME without my mobile (which doesn't ring that often)

And SOME of us may remember the late Karl Malden reminding us to "don't leave home without them". But, of course, he was referring to traveler's cheques.

For me leaving home without my mobile is a bad OMEN

My almost 16-year-old daughter is texting on her cell so much sometimes I would love to toss it in the OVEN!


(My brother; who is single, bought it for her over a year ago and pays the monthly fee on it, which has unlimited texting....) I love him very much but sometimes that phone drives me insane.. hehe.

What is the cooking time and temperature so the cell phone isn't OVER done?

Have you EVER tried a baked cell phone? I think a cooked one tastes better

I recommend a BEER rather than cooked phone. The phone will always come out tough, even if it is boiled.

When I hard boiled my Blackberry, it emitted a feeble beep and promptly expired.
