Posting from trains, whatever will people do next?

Yeah im just using my phone and it means that punctuation is an arse (as are long words)

― Stemobile, Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

Is it just a phone, or is it a crackberry? I didn't know that there was WAP.ILX

JW used to post from his phone all the time, didn't he?

I managed to get ILX on my phone via WAP once, but since that one time it's stopped working. Strange.

(I was being facetious, trying to make a funny thread connection. Graham used to post from his phone, too, I remember him posting results of some competition live from the pub.)

Just a phone. It has no memory for the net so i cant login. Also i have to trail through a whole thread instead of it jumping to the new answers

"punctuation is an arse"

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I think Burroughs said that right after he opined that "language is a virus."

Because slavery was outlawed a couple hundred years ago?

was that a joke?

(Well, I don't want to admit that I don't actually know of another meaning for "sidekick" other than the obvious one)

― I'm Not Afraid Of Singularities (kate), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:44 (twenty years ago)

Actually, now I've googled it, I'm kind of glad that I'm that out of touch.

― I'm Not Afraid Of Singularities (kate), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 17:47 (twenty years ago)

― Stemobile, Wednesday, 8 March 2006 18:06 (twenty years ago)

― Stemobile, Wednesday, 8 March 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

I got kicked off New Street station after a New Order concert back in the 1980s when I missed the last train home. I was trying to sleep and was loudly awakened by a swift kick up the arse from a friendly Bobby.

― I'm Not Afraid Of Singularities (kate), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 19:41 (twenty years ago)

actually that wasn't a bad days train riding, not like yesterday. yesterday i had to leave the train due to a bunch of people playing their music through their phones out loud. so then i boarded another train only to have two girls start doing exactly the same thing with their phones.

god i wish i was big and hard and brave.

xpost, you still in work ?!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 19:43 (twenty years ago)

That train station is going to be my new wallpaper. Even though I'll miss her:

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 23:51 (twenty years ago)

you got off a train because someone was playing music through their headphones too loud?

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

no not through their headphones, actually through the external speaker on the phone. Really loud, and crap dance music, and forever!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

ooooh

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

but very loud headphone music must be destroyed also.
