    Why not get a nice pink one?

    Very, man about the village, I hear.

    Bah.

    You caved? Three more outings in the pub and pink would have been what all the guys wanted.

    Word of advice: no Razor. NO Razor. Dreadful phone.

    i have on very good authority that pink for men is IN. Especially for the YOUNG! DONT GIVE IN!

    Shit. I’ve just painted mine pink in an act solidarity.

    Turquoise. How about turquoise?

  8. Brennig says:

    Oh yes! Pink is the new trendy colour that all young, virile men are… splutter, cough, cough, agh! I’m sorry folks. I couldn’t keep the facade going.

    All I can see here is the title, is this intended?

    Why not something like a Blackberry? Then you could blog from it, and send us twitters about even the smallest and most mundane incidents in your dreary existence.

    Yes. There’s quite possibly no upper limit to the interest that your twitters would generate. Your first one could be “I’ve bought a phone!”

    “I’m sorry sir, we only have pink left in that model, we’re expecting a new delivery in next week, is there another phone I can interest you in…”

    cerise? fushia?

    apparently purple is the latest must-have (or so Orange told me).

    i can’t believe the last two weeks were just a set up to that punchline.

    I like my Razr.

  15. Eliza says:

    i have a spare nokia 5110 in the cupboard- has a leopard print cover… very macho. want me to send it over?

    I had already lined up these teenagers from Nova Scotia who had organized a campaign here to get everyone to wear pink shirts in solidarity with a younger boy who was made fun of and called names for wearing his pink lacoste shirt. They were going to descend on Norfolk with pink shirts and phones, and you would have been a famous, heroic person, renowned for your understanding, tolerance, etc, etc, putting all the commentators and villagers to shame.

    Oh well.

    a wise choice sir.

  20. Pete says:

    I can’t see the story either, Misterboatswain. Just the title.

    And it’s not on the front page either, only in the RSS feed.

    It’s all very mysterious.

  21. HFactor says:
    January 17th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    iPhone, Jonny! Seriously, you can blog on the train, and people think you are cool when you are very much not. Even ASBO youths have discarded their usual withering disdain for glances of new-found respect. Or maybe they are just trying to work out the best way to mug me.

  22. Tom says:
    January 17th, 2008 at 10:40 pm

    it was on the front page, but has been deleted. maybe jonny uploaded a half done post by accident, then left it till later?

    this throws the whole off-the-cuff style of this site into question.

    my faith has been shaken.

  23. Cliff says:
    January 17th, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Did you trade in your old “friend’s” phone?

  24. JonnyB says:
    January 17th, 2008 at 11:36 pm

    Er… less is more…?

  25. M&2S says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 1:26 am

    Clever! (The post. V. clever.)

  26. Imaginary Friend says:

    Thought the phone was a perfect excuse not to go to the pub quite so often (you did say you would try this out in the New Year). Oh well, you’ll have to try will power alone now! Bet the temptation will be even harder to resist when you have a posh new phone you’ll want to show off…

  27. Linda says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 7:48 am

    I hope you will be able to operate your new phone once you get home with it. You practically have to have an enginering degree to figure out how to use these new ones. All I can do is answer mine and make calls, the rest eludes me.

  28. Dee says:

    Why can’t I see the post? *looks sad* Now my morning is thrown into disarray and chaos!!! *cry*

  29. AndrewM says:

    Go camo mate.

    It’s the new matt black.

    Shopping?

    You Girl!

  31. bromman says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    Otherwise engaged then.

  32. Miss T says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    Don’t waste money on a whole new phone! Just get a fascia. (I am practising new word use. I think I got it wrong. It is much more like fascist than I remembered).

  33. Gerbil says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    I can’t understand why you appear to be letting them take the mickey.

    They go to WeightWatchers.

  34. Richard says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 8:01 pm

    Nope. No story here either. You didn’t get another pink one, surely?

  35. Pisohe says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    Ach, people, please re-read comment 24!
    Congrats for the blog, JonnyB, you always make me laugh.

  36. Richard says:
    January 18th, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    Ah…Thank you Pisohe. I got up to about 20 then thought I’d let somebody else work out the irony.

  37. Pat says:

    So not only are you a yellow belly but also bone b—-y idle.
    I’m a little bit disappointed in you Jonny:(

  38. Dee says:
    January 19th, 2008 at 10:26 am

    Damn. Way to completely confuse me, JohnnyB.

  39. sablonneuse says:
    January 19th, 2008 at 12:57 pm

    That’s really clever that is – 39 comments and no post – only a title. Not many bloggers can claim to have achieved that.
    Chapeau Jonny.

    I thought it was one of your better posts.

  42. NAGA - Potty Training Services says:
    January 20th, 2008 at 12:37 am

    Is there going to be a sequel?

    “I Go Shopping, Again.”

  43. Rufus S Later says:

    At last, JonnyB has got the hang of this blogging lark. Well done.

    Tomorrow:
    “I’m on the train.”

    KTHXBAI

  45. JonnyB says:

    This is great – I think I will just give up the writing thing and just think of titles in future. It is much more efficient.

  46. guyana-gyal says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    I am most disappointed. You caved. I thought you had more, uh, guts, JonnyB…pardon the pun.

  47. Oli says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 2:03 pm

    I dont believe how many people didnt get the title only post.

  48. rach says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    Pink phones and photographing squirrels……fantastic!

  49. guyana-gyal says:
    January 21st, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    Oli, I think people got it but the title is fun and why not have fun too…

  50. Mardler says:
    January 25th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    Less is more, therefore, more is less. More or less ?

  51. Mardler says:
    January 25th, 2008 at 8:24 pm

    Less !
