Not a fan of Motorolas myself, either.
I'm not being paid for this blatant commercial endorsement, but I'd go for a Nokia every time. (Even though the latest model I've got [N63i I think??] is slightly less user-friendly than the one that preceded it [N7210?], but that's mainly because they've tried to make lots of improvements and some of them are not quite there yet. It's certainly an ambitious design.)

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I've always had a soft spot for Preston ever since rampaging around the Morrisons supermarket in a balaclava and a sawn-off shotgun (courtesy of Crimewatch).
That isn't my image of you at all, Ron  I think the real me departed somewhat from others' imagined views, Mary. Fourteen stone and a whisker off 6 feet high wasn't big enough for George, and my colouring and accent may well be at variance with other's expectations, too. |

Given that your accent started off as Italian(?) before you revealed your true self, Ron, some of us were still a bit disoriented when you did Never fear, the previously hypothetical Ron has now morphed seamlessly into the real Ron. And a very well distributed fourteen stone if I may say so. All we need now is those photos. |

Yes, Ron, "far's the foties?" The accent and intonation of the north-east, will be instantly recognised, I'm sure.

Let me guess, Ron. You picked up a bit of your accent from your time in the Thames Valley?
And you are green.
(oh, sorry. That's the green cross code man.)

About as green as a chameleon. It's a good old SRP accent but it's picked up some colouration en route - enough that many folk around here assume I'm from Inverness (where the best English in Scotland, if not Britain, is reputedly spoken).

Good grief! I read that as `the green cross cow man`. Huh? Either my brain has over boggled or I should start cleaning my contacts with beer. It appears to work for certain members of this noble fraternity.  |

P.S. It's only a minor grump, but whilst shopping yesterday at Gramex (no, don't ask how much, triple figures - and the rest). I picked up a couple of very competitively priced double albums which I really wanted. Having promised Ali that I'd listen again to Haitink's Walton First Symphony, I was overjoyed to find that there was an EMI forte double containing it, for which they wanted £6. They also had the latest Philips twofer of Colin Davis's Stravinsky Ballets, at the same price.Because I became involved with an intricate converstaion with Roger, I handed my discs across to someone else to collate and price, then bag for me. It was only later when I was in the train that I discovered that mysteriouly these two sets which I was thrilled to find had been replaced by four singles which I just don't want. I did find some other wonderful treasures, which I do have - two more DSCH 2s, a whole slew of the new NMCs, a Zinman Mahler 1, even a Hamilton-Harty Rio Grande and the live Fenice Billy Budd for a fiver, but somehow the loss of the Walton in particular really rankles.
Oh well, now back to people's real problems...
