How Sara got her *itshallnotbenamed*.

It was a perfectly tiring Friday. After laminating large pieces of A1 sheets that wouldn't stand on their own (and slid on each other like spineless jellyfish), she ploughed down to Lakeside to buy a 3 step sipper cup for her client (she couldn't justify doing this during work time), and went to Coles, Woolies, Kmart and Target to look for the aforesaid condemned product that was not to be found ANYWHERE. Finally, Big W, on the other side of the mall, carried 4. She bought the yellow and green one, and left.

She tried to call Den, but got cut off because pre-paid calling to postpaid lines were super expensive. Tired from troughing through the mall for a cup, she had finally had it. "I am buying a postpaid line!", she said to him sternly when he called back, unaware of the punctuational errors in her sentence. Ok, said the placcid and wonderful he (upon his laurel of Friday afternoon work, he sat), and asked what phone she wanted.

"I don't know..." said she.. "All i really need is navigator function. I am otherwise perfectly happy with my now defunct Samsung X640 and my own intuitive sense of direction as a cheap alternative to AI navigation."

"Are you sure you don't want a *beep*?" said he, having acquired a classic white one with it's fruity logo just the week before and taken quite a beating from her about it.

silence ensued.

"I don't know," she finally sighed. "I don't need a *beep*, and I can't justify spending that much money on a phone that I really don't need. My ancient, scratched and donkey-old Samsung is well loved and truly functional. Besides, I have a sex and the city ring tone that my colleagues laugh at (and I don't even watch that show)."

Playing a devil's advocate, he calmed advised her that either phone was fine, but it would not hurt to buy the iphone. When this tact didn't work, he decided to be a good old caramelised sugar daddy and buy it for her.

When you think about an mP3 player fused with a tomtom, with a bible, with a diary, with a nintendo DS... I guess that just barely makes the cut.

I am a hypocrite who abhors techies on mobiles and am slowly becoming one myself...

Save me..............
