Inappropriate spending
May 17th, 2008
I’m writing this post on a stupidly expensive gadget which I quite clearly cannot afford. It enables me to read my emails and look at websites and that while sitting on a train (like now), or while lying in bed, or mincing along the street like some 21st century trendy London dweller, as though I was an internet connected Austin Powers.
I hate Austin Powers.
I am able to do this because last night I went out and spent a massive amount of money on an iPhone. I am not proud of this, but it is so shiny that I am finding it hard to care because it really is vey shiny and sexy and that.
I can’t afford this and will regret it before too long, but as I told myself as I left the O2 shop, I needed a new phone because my old one is shagged, and in any case, fuck it, you only live once. Hurrah for impulse buys!

Does it give off a raw sexuality not found in other phones?

Yes. I’m writing this reply on it and the tingling in my loins is almost unbearable to be honest. Sometimes I wonder if I can go on using it as a phone when all I really want is to make sweet love to it.

Stupid fingers Hilly Hill! Ha ha!

My fingers are sleek and graceful like a gazelle on the dancefloor. That’s why I’m allowed to have one and you’re NOT.

Only a phone?
I don’t think you understand.

This is the person who bought an I-pod just because they were small and shiny.

I bought an I-pod as my friend was too embarrassed to be seen out with me in public on holiday as I took my Sony Walkman which plays cassette tapes and with the luggage restrictions these days I would only be able to take one Jake Thackray tape with me which doesn’t leave much scope for variety.

I thought you told me all you needed was a bit of Jake and you’d be fine. But wait no, you’d need the Fratellis so you can do the little finger jive. You can’t finger jive to Jake.

Can everyone here please stop writing like 80-year-olds. Unless you are an out of touch pensioner, it’s an iPod, not an “I-pod”.
Come on, people. Seriously.

What’s a pensioner?
17. Chris | June 4th, 2008 at 17:53
Someone who no longer finger-jives because of arthritis.

Oh, the ones that look like shrivelled up runner beans? Stand in queues? Fart without realising?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I didn’t know they had a name.
