My mum phoned me up on her mobile to ask me how to do letters that weren't a d g j m p t or w.  She then rang off and about 40 minutes later I got a short text.  She said later that by the time she had written out what she wanted to say, crossed out all the letters she would miss out for the text, painstakingly typed all that into the phone, she would rather phone me up or write me a letter.

Someone said to me today "You must be about my age,seventy five or so" I am sixty one and it was only my ingrained good manners that stopped her landing on her back with a swollen jaw ;D

Definitely a suitable case for a favourite insult of an ex-boyfriend of mine.

"You talking to me or chewing a brick?  Either way, you're gonna lose your teeth."
