My first thought when I read about that was, 'Oh no, more morons with music
playing on their dog damn mobile phones.'  And then I thought about it some more
and found that I hadn't changed my mind at all.

As Jorma Ollila, Chief Executive of Nokia said "It'll give you a slew of new
ways to annoy the heck out of your friends and colleagues!"

How true, and not just your friends and colleagues.

Pardon my rant.

Yes, in some ways it is,  but those eggs are getting SMALLER EVERY YEAR.

Or is that just my imagination?

I have to admit that I know almost nothing of their work EXCEPT for Trumpton and I
think I only heard this about five times, but that was all on one night because it
had me in hysterics and I had to keep playing it over.

Why?

Just one part of one verse.

'Over bridges, under bridges,
Flashing through the station.
Careful with that spit, Eugene
It causes condensation.'

I'm afraid that this will be lost on our non English readers as they won't be
familiar with the Trumpton animated children's program, which is a pity, because
it's English toddler's TV at its very best.

No pardon necessary.  I work and practically live on a
University campus.  Students' beepers & phones are
constantly going off.  The teen "beeper & phone" set,
by and large, are not considerate of the volume at
which they are talking, or even of watching where
they're going while talking and walking at the same
time.
