You know when you are an old fuddy daddy when your 12 year old son has a smart phone and knows how to use it and you have a tried and trusted 10 year old phone and still don't know all the functions on it.
When you scream about the remote control to the television, receiver and amp, cd player all ducked up , because the dear wife touched the wrong buttons and 12 year old sorts it out in seconds.
When you try to print a photo and it comes out like an abstract work of art (which I quite like) and 12 year old pushes a few buttons and there it is, the correct image.
Different world.

^^| is it a little red button? Hi Uncle, Definitely not a red button. The function button on the remote that came with the piecost has some sort of ‘3 feather’ icon. Not sure if it’s relevant but the system was pre-chipped and I got it from an electrical store named Curry’s from the town of Fishbourne.  |

When I first started teaching kids wanted a high five, now they want a selfie. I have a regular watch while their watches can makes calls and browse the web. I was into pogs in the first grade  . |

Did it come with a handful of chips and wrapped in the correct newspaper ? |

Get a proper <ducking> phone then ffs. Honestly...its all there...my 92 year old granny knows how to Skype people all over the world and she is half blind with macular degeneration. No excuse. I have a proper phone, nokia indistructable, it receives PHONE calls and I can PHONE using it, even as far as england. A bonus feature is it tells the time and has an alarm clock. It receives some strange things , messages, but since I can not read Thai, I have no idea what they are. I cannot text, in fact I don't need to text anyone. I have computers and use them, am using one now. If out I do not want to be disrupted by trivia ; I like cloud watching. If there were to be an emergency I can be called on the PHONE. I know my times tables and do not often use the calculator function. I have never used skype, no reason to. Everyone knows I am still Adonis personified (except when drunk and who wants to see that?). I rarely write on facebook, "nice" to see some pictures, oh so cute. Do answer e mails, but when i have the peace required and the ambiance (Eno at present) to write in my own space. So why do I need a smart phone? |

bowie, some of your posts get my head spinning around like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, but I can kinda relate to what you said above, you old prehistoric artifact.
I have a late model Samsung Smart Arse phone which does everything except bake bread, and I thought I was pretty good at driving this thing. Until I went home in June and my nearly three year old wise-guy son found a video in my phone quicker than it takes me to find it. And what really p**sed me of was his mother had only ever had Nokia and Huawei phones, he had never used a Samsung like mine.

Bowie, so you can walk around like a twat (which you are) and take selfies. Post photos of your vomit and excretions.
The world awaits your emancipation.

Thank allah, be praised, that True have the premier league again; my poor son woken at two in the morning to sort the CTH receiver out after a thunderstorm had made it impossible for me to re set it.
