Texting is Crap.

[Shadow Man]

Although a big fan of gadgets, I couldn't give a monkey's knacker about mobile phones. In fact the only reason I have a newish one is because of coverage in my area and the company insisted on an upgrade.

Further I have sent abot two texts in my life. Without sounding like an old fart, I really do not know how to on my phone.

I think texting is a complete waste of time. If you have something to say, then telephone them. What I have seen of texts is utter nonsense.

Also they can cause more harm than good. People can misunderstand the content, feel "let down" when they do not receive one back and there is a difficulty in when to actually break off such communication.

However, I am fully aware that adults use them just as much as children.

May I respectfully ask you to print the last text you received (obviously missing out any profanity or personal detail) in order to prove my point.

Or if proved wrong, enlighten me to this relatively new joy that millions of Brits enjoy.

If your otherwise healthy, go for it!

And I detest that predictive text too- deeply annoying.

What on earth have forthcoming confinements got to do with txt messaging ?

That's the problem with this place, and the reason I left, no sodding discipline or concentration, it's been commandeered by a gaggle of half-witted women.

[bigmamma]

Texting gets right on my wick too shadow man. By the time you've finished texting back and forth you've spent about a fiver and you could have had a call for less. Especially when you're going on a night out and get the ''what are you wearing'' or ''whose going'' texts.

[bigmamma]

Hi , I get 600 free texts a month on my moblie , I don't think I'm in danger of using them up ...lol

[redcrx]

last text i got was from a friend to say her little boy was in hospital and she'd popped out to let everyone know what was happening and then going straight back in. she bulk texted to save time

A text was right, i feel, in this instance :)
