Exactly Bernard. My old Nokia from the stone age would make calls and texts. That wasn't a proper phone.

His Nibs still has his old Nokia, at least for another couple of days. He's getting a new one too, since he will be working for himself once he retires next week. His will be a company phone though, unlike mine which was a present to myself.

The batteries are shot on the old phones, and I was fed up with taking it apart to get the dust out of it so I could read the screen.

Very happy with my new bright red Nokia though .

At 2 years old my Granddaughter could pick up her Mums phone, unlock it, navigate to the Apps and find her favorite Peppa Pig videos on You Tube, watching her little fingers navigate the touch screen was amazing.

She 4 years old now and manages quite well with her own Google Nexus, takes me all my time to send a text

I think we should market a new range of watches with beer o'clock, half past gin and a quarter-gill past everything.

If the camera stops working it's less than -10. But I think you will give up before then

Cameras don't give up at -10C, even if the manufacturers say they do.

Dave is a Pentaxian - he won't give up either, well not until he dips a toe in the water anyway .

By the cringe! That is kerazeeee! That cold North Sea water is going to reach parts that he really wants warmer waters to reach. He`ll need to swallow very hard when he comes out `cos those lumps in his throat aint going to be tonsils!

I've just been watching rugby and drinking some beer I have not tried before - 1 was ok ish (Tomos Watkin - Blodwen Beer) - then there was Rhymney Export which was pretty good but then there was Native Storm if I imagine someone burning their socks and then fermenting them for three weeks in cold tea that may get somewhere near

First pint I have though to be awful in a long time just my opinion though - back to the norm = old spekcled clucker next woo hoo
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
