Best way I find to get out of this necessity of mobile phone business is to
let my girlfriend own the thing.
Here's me working for the past three years for BT and I don't wish to own a
mobile phone.
However my girlfriend, (who isn't a 'modete' I might add, oh no going to go
off on a tangent now.....to late.....well she used to me more of a metal
freak but over the course of 2 years I have showed he the better tastes in
life and she loves the '60's' image and hence I am now going out with not
only a girlfriend whom I am not embarrassed to walk around with because of
the way she dresses but for the fact that she owns a 1963 Mk 1 convertible
Triumph Spitfire with looks damn great in its original condition).
Anyway that leads me on to where Matt created the tail "Picture it, you're
half way down the M1 on your 'trusty' 125 when all of a sudden, the engine
gives in".
Well you have to realise that although her car to my eyes looks damn nice
(if not mod but only 60's), it is over 35 years old and occasionally the
bugger likes to break down in remote places.
Eg.
This summer we took one of our many open top rides, this time to Whitby over
the North Yorkshire Moor's, polluting the air with my 'Mod Scene'
compilation of early Decca stuff, sounds great and really tinny with the top
down.
Anyway the bugger broke down by Gothland didn't it.
But not to worry because our lass has her 'Two Tone' coloured Nokia phone in
the glove compartment so she's able to ring her expert mechanic ex mod old
man who travels from Bradford to get the thing going.
And so home......
All apologies for this story but it kind of fits in with them being useful
even if they are not mod, the blue/green two tone colour is passable though?
