Decades later I'd never wear a digital watch... And yet actually I would if I could get one like that again (but with modern batteries of course - the originals conked out rapidly and cost a fortune to replace). On childhood dreams and fantasies tho, I did dream of mobile communicators like Captain Kirk's, which in a way we have. But I am still waiting for my personal jetcopter and robot butler.<BR/><BR/>And Chris, don't smash their mobiles, that just creates litter. Instead ram it down their throat and make them eat it. This shuts up the kid and the phone at the same time. If you really want to rub it in take a picture of this process on your own camera phone while you're at it.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257155435655575336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-1157096503155788172006-09-01T08:41:00.000+01:002006-09-01T08:41:00.000+01:00Wouldn't it be cool if, one day, a company actuall...Wouldn't it be cool if, one day, a company actually brings out a mobile/cell phone that is, well, just that: a telephone, perhaps with an SMS function, but definitely nothing else...<BR/><BR/>I'm no Luddite, but if I see another kid with their mobile blasting out a rather poor quality chart "hit" on the train, then I swear I'll grab it and stamp on it!<BR/><BR/>Little bastards, the lot of 'em!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613091738153864169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-1157058534887908812006-08-31T22:08:00.000+01:002006-08-31T22:08:00.000+01:00Some teenage genius is probably devising anti-grav...Some teenage genius is probably devising anti-gravity in their mum and dad's garage this very minute!

I want to step out of my front door, go through a runcible and end up on a deserted beach in The Maldives.<BR/><BR/>So, pull yer finger out and get one built!<BR/><BR/>BTW when you coming to Wales to sign a book or three?
