At least at a wedding you could say it was 'wedding bells' unless your ringtone was some funereal sound, or something else inappropriate! |

Yes, I realise mistakes do happen. The one at the funeral I felt was really bad. |

Ah! Huia I hardly ever use the phone and very rarely get calls so never have the phone on but somehow it got switched on by mistake. I would never knowingly have a phone switched on at any sort of gathering just a mistake which caused us embarrassment :-S |

I was at a funeral once, and a cellphone (not mine) started ringing. A woman hurriedly searched her handbag to turn it off. I was a bit disgusted. Most cellphones have a vibrating setting. If she really needed to be contacted she could have used that. I turn mine on only by arrangement, such as if I have left my vehicle to be serviced and gone off shopping. They can ring me if they have a problem. I don't normally have it turned on, as I live in an area with poor coverage and the battery goes flat from 'searching'. I would certainly not have it turned on in a wedding or funeral. |

Hey that's a good idea Liz must try that if I try taking photos with my digital camera (son's hand-me-down) I have a good selection of photos of feet as it always seem to be pointing down now will try a little higher for car no. plates. |

You have to be able to get your head around a string of numbers to know where to put the point in and have it make sense. I can't do it. |

A great many people lived perfectly comfortable lives in the England of 1921 - 1961 odd as it may seem. |

However did we live? An ounce of this, 3 and 11 for that, Quink, nibs, postage stamps, no telephone except the 4d one down the road (with glass always intact, though a strange aroma at times). No TV, just a crackly old brown Bush tuned to Hilversum (now a F1 racing track in Northamptonshire, I believe). Not even a car, just trolly buses with long poles to put the two antenna on roof back on the wires - at least once per mile, it seemed :-( Quicker to walk some days. |

I belong to a camera club, and last night the judge was saying that this person used to much (whatever) on their photo and somebody else should have used more (something) and another should have used another layer in a part of their photo. He was referring to photoshopping their photos, to 'improve' them, but I feel some of the photos don't look real. I am a realist and like the natural look. What they are doing isn't photography as such, it is digital manipulation. Ah well, every man to his own taste as Paddy said when he kissed the cow, and one man's meat is another man's poison. :-( |

Who me? showing off Nolls? It took me long enough to learn how to work my digital camera. The most pics I take on the phone are the number plates of cars parked either side of me so if I get back and find a scrape I know who to blame lol |
