The three Ts

They say things happen in threes. My phone has been dunked in a cup of tea, gone for a swim in a public toilet, and this morning it went on an unplanned excursion on a train.

A colleague pointed out it should be the three Cs: cuppa, crapper and carriage. I can think of a better c-word to describe it.

So for the second time this month I am using the phone I used in highschool, a Nokia 3315, in all its monochromatic, monophonic goodness. I’ve never been one of those people who have to have the latest piece of technology but even a low-tech boy has his standards! My ringtone—the Fawlty Towers theme—sounds like a cat coughing on a live mouse. Not happy. Not happy at all.

Poor man.. I have technology issues al the time too.... I am on my second new ne wphone this year after losing my first new phone somewhere... I wiped my hard drive of my computer on the weekend and have also replaced the hard drive on my computer earlier this year too....

You are not alone mate!

I wish I had a spare phone to lend you, but I keep losing them!
