I can dream

I got to have a go with Olivier’s Blackberry. We were coming home after taking him to his lift to go back to Poitiers early on Monday morning. We could hear music and as a car was overtaking us at the time thought that they had their music turned up loud. A second car overtook with it’s music, the same music, playing loudly. I assumed they were listening to the same radio station. Then the music played again. Olivier was phoning us (his phone) with his friend’s phone to tell us that he’d left the blackberry on the back seat. We had to turn around and go back to the pick up point. Fortunately they had only lost 10 minutes. They both had lectures at 10.15.

I expect that’s the closest I’ll get to using his phone.

I look on these devices with interest, the miracles of the age but hardly anybody in my circle of friends uses mobiles and those who do keep them switched off. The cheapest tariffs would have me paying about £10 pre call!

Sounds like you had a lucky escape; Monday was Old Michaelmas, and you shouldn't use Blackberries after that day because the Devil has marked them for himself. Maybe you'd better warn Olivier...

Caroline: I know that I'll never be able to afford one. He paid 1€ as a new customer to get the phone. he has time to look out for offers like that.

Dru: I will warn him! I saw some blackberries yesterday and thought I'd better not pick them, the devil must have spat on them by now.
