Then I forget how to work them. Some of them have too many buttons and some don't seem to have any buttons at all. It's all too confusing. Besides, I never know the numbers so no one can call me even if I did turn them on.I don't do texting, I've got old-fashioned thumbs.Sorry, what was the question? Oh, yes. No, I don't have a tablet. In my young day, computers filled buildings and kept a dozen operators warm. These new-fangled tablet things hardly give out enough heat to keep a mouse warm. What's the use of that? Give me old-fashioned paper and books. If you get cold, you can at least burn them in the grate. Try burning one of these plastic tablet things and all you get is a very funny smell.I know people nowadays seem to be mesmerised by their mobile phones. I think it's tiny mind-flayer pixies hiding inside the phones, taking people over. Just watch in the street, and think ... mind flayer over there ... that one's a mind flayer ... yup, mind flayer ...</blockquote>
