ROFLMAO.........yeah, yeah go on lads have your laughs, but This is very silly....you've forgotten the fuffy dice hanging from the frame!,LOL...imagine...,going on a holiday to get in touch with the people back home you just left! thats novel! I sometimes wonder how I ever managed to enjoy a holiday without a laptop,it's a real puzzler that ..LOL...[maybe it's called diversity]
I think in Tony's case he is just plain nosey lol!!
I only phone my mum when on holiday.......... Always a sunday at exactly the same time aaaaahhhhh!
Yeah my parents are pretty elderly 85 & 87 and like to know their ikkul boy is safe and well [ ffs ] I dont like to phone my son cos you never know what bad news you'll get, lol, as for my MIL I leave that to the wife and thats it, !get on with the bloody holiday, I mean you'd think we were gone two years not two weeks , whats the point in wasting time??
Mine just had their diamond anniversary but me and my mum have a special something. While in hospital for a masectomy she kicked up a fuss until allowed to phone me and we spent a real soppy half hour! When I was in with a broken spine I got a nurse to ring and though I couldn't speak I had a good listen! My dad , he just walks past my mum on a Sunday and shouts Hi! When it's time to hang up I shout Bye! Yes a very teenage relationship - 82 & 58 and still have our weekly mono-syllabic chat!
I think you lot read too much into it all, we don't phone much at all, usually just once to remind someone to water the hanging baskets!! LOL
But the point is it's there if we do actually want to make a call.
I still use it mainly to check photos, but my Australian Cousin is visiting the Uk just before and while we are away,
so I may well take out 10 mins for a chat, and it will be free as he has a Skype Mobile.
Also I may watch a film or not! Just whatever we feel like, it also holds Gigabytes of MP3 tracks if we want different music!
I can live without it - but it's just very useful!
