The ringer and voices will be so muffled that you'll completely forget about it, probably until the next day (since that lazy phone-owner doesn't keep track of his/her phone anyway).Lynnehttp://salmonberrychronicles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-55613554480897974182010-11-14T12:13:04.225-08:002010-11-14T12:13:04.225-08:00I feel that this is particularly heartfelt.

Their users are (in most cases - hence the causes of your your rant)<br /><br />I prefer to refer to them as 'portable' phones. Clear, concise and accurate. What's wrong with that? Almost as annoying as when people say "I met with so and so yesterday...." You meet with disaster or ill-fortune and the like - *you* *don't* *meet* *with* *people*!!!<br /><br />Right, I'm off to stick pins in an effigee of Nick Clegg...<br /><br />Have a grand weekend.<br /><br /><br />xxx<br />BobRobert Swipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111821104822486044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-75949888279854106312010-11-11T22:08:09.559-08:002010-11-11T22:08:09.559-08:00Or make the ring-tone some nice relaxing Tibatan c...Or make the ring-tone some nice relaxing Tibatan chanting instead of The Smurfs' version of Livin' La Vida Loca.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-27579363261136287382010-11-11T16:42:03.737-08:002010-11-11T16:42:03.737-08:00collect the errant phones, turn them off and stow ...collect the errant phones, turn them off and stow them in a drawer! that's what teachers do to students, sugar, who leave mobiles unattended. xoxoxosavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-88495461213925439542010-11-11T14:34:52.198-08:002010-11-11T14:34:52.198-08:00This is very true, Gerald.This is very true, <b>Gerald</b>.Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-74483134140048678462010-11-11T14:18:29.716-08:002010-11-11T14:18:29.716-08:00A rant a day keeps the doctor away.A rant a day keeps the doctor away.geraldgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254363064689282307noreply@blogger.com
