unpackaging pleasure

the box the phone arrived in slide open the box - the phone! 2 boxes under the phone charger,cable & earphones Blutooth pairing and connectig - easy! Bluetooth contact transfer - ZOOM who are these people?

I’m loving the colourful and smooth experience of unpacking my Nokia Lumia 800.  I’ve unpacked it and repacked it several times.

It came pre-powered-up, quickly (Bluetooth) paired with my old phone and ‘people’ transferred. Yummy! When the new SIM arrived my classic self used it to make some phone calls! I wonder where all the anonymous people in the phonebook came from….

wendy: I love my new phone, it works!

Apple fanboy: Only a Microsoft user would feel that way just because it worked

blue eyes and dark skin toneIn my phone service provider’s high street store, the helpful assistant explained they could swap my normal sized SIM (current phone) to a mini SIM (Nokia Lumia), just not in the store….

wendy: your eyes are really beautiful,  are they….um…

assistant: they’re real, they’re mine

The assistant probably hears clumsy comments like that a lot…..

£159 for a blue SIM free Nokia Lumia 800?

Sold!  (or should that be ‘Bought’!)

Now if it had been pink, my girl-pounds would have stayed in my wallet. I have my standards to keep up!

caught short?

Monday, May 19th, 2008 | tags: , , , ,  |

Not ‘are you apprehended by the police for the ghastly crime of insufficient height’ but another clever  euphemism for wanting to go to the toilet.   The city of Westminster has signs to help you out with clever stick-people designs to illustrate the problem for those people who don’t understand the idiom ‘caught short’.     My favourite part of the sign is the invitation to text toilet,   for a toilet.    Hoorah,   no euphemisims there just send a text saying what you need,   effectively the bottom-line…

I’m just going to put you on hold while  I reboot my computer,   it will be quicker

I fell off my chair with stomach rippling laughter.   Clearly I’d misinterpretted the true meaning of  ’hold’

either dont know or 7 or 8

Sunday, November 18th, 2007 | tags: , , ,  |

Wendy:   “is it 7 or 8pm here?”   (in the UK implied)

Lady In Pub (LIP): “that’s alright,   don’t worry,   I forget too,   it could be either”

LIP bobbed down at the knees while she said this ducking her head then throwing a swathe of thick black hair away from her face.     As if this action might clear her mind.   It was almost like a curtsey and made me feel like a princess.

Her polite engaging  way left me smiling.   I thanked her for the advice and wondered whether she meant:

 - either time is ok

 - she, like me,   doesn’t know which time it is

I adjusted my local-time phone settings to  7pm, hoping to spin-out the pleasant evening.
