It's when you get ya 'ed darn for half an hour. Only joking, it's a program for a smartphone, like seeing the weather, or playing a game.
I already possess a device that allows me to see the weather... it’s called a window. In fact, I have a number of them.
Also, I can play games like solitaire without a phone, and as the name suggests... all by my ownsome.

Bring back shellac!
I'm with you captain...you get on a bus, train..whatever, can you have a conversation with anybody, can you 'eckerslike, the've all got there headphones on and noses buried into their 'Apps'.
As we evolve the human race will end up with these appendages already attached at birth if we're not carefull....
Aye..Jacko...
Before you know it, we'll stop talking to each other face to face, and only communicate via a virtual media.....
Thank you for your support, guys. I shall wear it always!
When one doesn’t have a phone, just watching people gazing into them, glassy- eyed, on public transport, crossing busy roads, oblivious to any traffic that might be passing, walking along pavements with nary a regard for other pedestrians etc., it is obvious that H. sapiens is turning into a race of zombies.
The most amazing example I witnessed was actually at the Galpharm Stadium. I went to the toilet during the half-time interval, and as I was pointing Percy at the porcelain, I noticed the guy next to me had John Thomas in one hand (I presume, otherwise he probably wouldn’t have been there.), and with the other hand he was punching buttons on his mobile phone. No word of a lie!
Some while ago, I was on my soapbox, ranting against mobile phones when a woman told me that she had resisted getting one for quite some time, but had finally succumbed, and she said that she found it “addictive”. Whilst I can’t condone or excuse, I can understand people becoming addicted to some substance they inject into their blood stream, or an alcoholic beverage they pour down their throats, because that is a chemical reaction, but to be addicted to mobile phones is for me, a sad reflection on the current state of the human race.
Any road up, back to the summer of spurt…
I watched the so-called highlights of the two opening games in the Euro 2012… regular readers will know that I do not watch live football on television. It was on BBC1, and presented by that irritant, Colin Murray. They had imported those banal animated Playschool drawings from Match Of The Day 2. Somebody is given licence-payers’ money and told to go away and play, in order to produce those. The bassas!
Quite frankly, I can’t understand why Murray needs any help with the dumbing down process. I reckon he could do it, single-handed, personally, all alone, blindfold, and without looking!
Needless to say, I shall not be watching again.
ITV have Adrian Chiles presenting their live coverage. It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!
I won’t be watching any of the Olympics... or the pharmaceutical fest, as it should be called.
It does you good to have a good grump occasionally!
the olympics..
mans pinnacle of the quest to introduce performance enhancing drugs into your bloodstream without getting caught by the p-ss test...
being honest if a bloke could run the 100m in 5 seconds or do the pole vault without using a pole, i think id like to see it...the hop, skip and where the f-ck did he go? might be amusing as well..
only the ladies beach volleyball will save the 2 weeks for me.. now that is a proper "spectator" sport.. although even some of the lasses in that look like a close inspection might reveal more than you ever bargained for..
the olympic ideal.. "The sponsors are god" means that for every quid invested in the "games" about 96 pence has gone "elsewhere".....
for all the "British" competitors i say "good luck, hope you dont get caught and your interpreter will see you through"...
To all the British Embassay Staff around the country, I say lock the doors once its finished , you simply wont have room for the "asylum seekers"....
Myth, 'tis true...I find myself flitting twixt reality and the virtual world.. the beauty of virtuality is your imagination can enhance the experience, whereas reality is generally a big let down...
If I were to have a 'rant', which seems to be de rigour (?), it would be the incessant 'action replays' which now unashamedly overlap real life action which you can hear in the background. The goal replay last night was 2 minutes , by which time we'd kicked off, attacked, defended, won a corner and had the trainer on...all with sound effects while 150 million TV fans suffer 17 different angles of the goal, the close up of the scorer, a female fan, the coach, the manager, the defender who's fault it was.....sigh.
Jacko....
Nowt wrong wi the slow mo action replays mate...
Especially at a Roland Gaross ladies game...
The Olympic torch has been taken to the Isle of Man, the Republic of Eire, to the summit of Ben Nevis, across the river Mersey, and Loch Ness etc.
One simple question... why?
It’s like Alice’s world!
Apparently, the cost of this shindig is being funded in part by sponsors but also with a generous contribution from those local authorities hosting stages on the route... that is, from council taxes. We are talking tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of pounds per authority here, with the final bill to council tax payers running into millions.
I understand that places along the route are expected to include Olympic and London 2012 branding in their street dressing. In most cases these will be use once and never again items. The only place they can buy the official flags, banners and bunting is the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG). Not only are LOCOG not paying for the Torch Relay, they are profiting from it.
Councils are cutting frontline services and local government jobs but are happy to spend tens of thousands (at least) on a tedious torch relay.
I have just realised that the the LOCOG official website describes itself as the “London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games”, so it appears that they have omitted the “P” for “Paralympic” from the LOCOG acronym, to make it easier to say than “LOCOPG”. I’m surprised the PC brigade hasn’t picked up on that one!
Curioser and curioser!
captain..
the cost of the torch is upwards of 5 million quid..
you were not even close on that one..
the policing bill, being funded from "government sources" is running at 1.3 million pounds..
stupid, stupid, waste of money..
the bbc are being "pressed" by the government to "cover" the torch big time in a vain attempt to make it seem worthwhile..
The amount of sponsorship to be seen with it is embarrassing..
Will it really make you want a "coke"...???
