Looks like that poll went ok...

So far nobody has managed to get the question wrong... odd that!? I'd have thought that at least one reader would have been a smart arse and tried to sway the results.

Well... apparantly he was moaning about my use of English language again in the pub yesterday. Maybe he just finds it hard to understand me because he has no idea what real English looks like - it figures as he has enough issues understanding simple dialog boxes on the computer...

He's now got my mobile phone number :-( Big pile of balls. I know he'll phone at the most inappropriate moments - such as when I'm asleep. I decided it made sense to put my phone on silent last night as I'd had a late night and didn't want disturbing by one of the most selfish and demanding pratts in the land. Sure enough when I woke up at about 11.30 I'd had a missed call from him. At 10:38am, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world... well it would, 'cause I'd have only had 5 hours sleep and would have probably been drunk!

I know that at sometime I'll forget to put my phone on to silent - why should I have to remember to put my phone on silent at night just 'cause some ID10T wants to know how to do some inane task with his computer...

So, where's this leading...

Well... I've made a silent ringtone and put him in a caller group all of his own (I've used the VIP group as a point of irony) and made this ring with the silent ringtone... cunning, no? I'd orignally thought I could get my phone to ring on all the groups except the VIP one, however due to whole crapness of the groups setup on my phone (Nokia 7210) that would also mean that people who are in 'No Group' won't make the phone ring.

He'll still be able to make my phone make noise by sending me a text - but aleast the noise won't go on and on... it might end up with me getting out of bed to read the damn message thinking it might be important though...

Anyways... I've decided that some people might want my 'non-phonic' ringtone...
