I know... nobody looks at me twice in London, but back here.... *sigh*
Actually, it quite amuses me that I wind them up so much! 
Why don't you just get the urrh..empty phone, without sim card<?> Would that work out any cheaper<?> 
Hello

Same here... I find it amusing that they obviously have so little of interest in their own lives that they can find time to laugh at mine.
Buying a sim-free phone costs about 4 times as much...

It more so amazes me that they can laugh at what I'm wearing when it looks like they got dressed in the dark without a mirror...
My word...Really<?> 
Hello

I like it when they proclaim to be 'individual', when they're standing in a group of 20 or so more or less identical 'individuals'
Yup. When you buy a phone with a simcard, the sim manufacturer (i.e Orange, Vodafone, 02 etc) pays the phone manufacturer a fee to have the sim included with their phones (They recoup this fee through your phone bill). If you buy a phone sim- free, then they hven't had this revenue from the service provider, so that extra cost gets passed on to you.
So, for instance, a few years ago, when you could get the Nokia 8210 on contract for free, it cost about £200 on PAYG, but if you bought it sim- free, it would have cost you about £400 - 500.

That is very funny... Listening to their loovery mass manufactured music, eating their mass manufactured food, wearing their mass manufactures clothes, slowly harming their mass nuturing environment...
That's crazy!

TeaKay Posted Jul 24, 2003
I agree... nothing more to say, you're totally right... that's my brother!

Another cynic, then<?>
Sad to think that they think they're individuals, really.
Can't help but feel vaguely sorry for them, in a condescending "I-hate-you" kind of way
He'll grow out of it. And probably become an accountant or bank clerk or something.
Hello
TeaKay Posted Jul 25, 2003
A definite cynic
Well, they say that to pity someone is far worse than hating them.
I'm not too sure, all he's groing into now is a gross food-consumer. Nothing lasts 5 seconds around here...

Cynic, yeah you call yourself that, but do you really uphold the premise of cynicism<?> 
You can't hate something that doesn't have a personality. Love and hate's all the same thing. You need to know there's at least something *to* hate. It isn't really worth the effort otherwise.
Oh dear. At least you can be self satisfied in the thought that he'll eventually become fat and slightly more unnatractive if he continues
Hello
TeaKay Posted Jul 27, 2003
He's already fat, lol.
But he's an arsehole, and that's what girls seem to go for 
despite him having no respect for anyone or anything, and treating his friends like idiots (though most of them are, truth be told), he's always got a girl hanging off his arm!
Still, I have a girlfriend. Took me a long time to find her, but she was worth every minute I spent looking.
I don't necessarily hate everything. I'm just wary of it, and don't really trust it all.
And "You can't hate something that doesn't have a personality.": You're talking to someone who still owns (and names) cuddly toys, and can hold full and in-depth conversations with many inanimate objects- as far as I'm concerned EVERYTHING has a personality, just some things (trees etc)are more shy than others.

Oh dear.
Not much else I can say to that.

What's wrong with having conversations with inanimate objects<?> I do it all the time with these odd things called "friends"
Hello
TeaKay Posted Jul 27, 2003
Lol, you're lucky. Most of my friends aren't animated enough to classify as inanimate!

Hello
Existential Elevator Posted Jul 27, 2003
Oh well
Hey, did you ever get anywhere with those tarot cards<?>
Hello
Existential Elevator Posted Jul 28, 2003
Oh well
I guess you've got a job to keep you occupied
Hello
TeaKay Posted Jul 28, 2003
Yeah, but then I'd love to be able to just lie in bed and do nothing every now and then...

Ah...wouldn't that be the life
I was rudely awoken by a pidgeon on my windowsill this morning
