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 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.
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.
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…
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.
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).
First!!
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?
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?

“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.
i have a spare nokia 5110 in the cupboard- has a leopard print cover… very macho. want me to send it over?
Wuss!!!
That’s our Jonny – a will of marshmallow!
The staying power of a butterfly’s antenna…

Oh well.
Dandy grey russet with a yellow border!

a wise choice sir.
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.

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.
Did you trade in your old “friend’s” phone?
Er… less is more…?
Clever! (The post. V. clever.)

Why can’t I see the post? *looks sad* Now my morning is thrown into disarray and chaos!!! *cry*
Go camo mate.
It’s the new matt black.
Shopping?
You Girl!
Otherwise engaged then.

I can’t understand why you appear to be letting them take the mickey.
They go to WeightWatchers.
Nope. No story here either. You didn’t get another pink one, surely?
Ach, people, please re-read comment 24!
Congrats for the blog, JonnyB, you always make me laugh.
Ah…Thank you Pisohe. I got up to about 20 then thought I’d let somebody else work out the irony.
So not only are you a yellow belly but also bone b—-y idle.
I’m a little bit disappointed in you Jonny:(
Damn. Way to completely confuse me, JohnnyB.
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.
40th
I thought it was one of your better posts.
Is there going to be a sequel?
“I Go Shopping, Again.”
At last, JonnyB has got the hang of this blogging lark. Well done.
Tomorrow:
“I’m on the train.”
I HAS A NOKIA
IS NOT SO GRET ACTULLY
KTHXBAI
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.
I am most disappointed. You caved. I thought you had more, uh, guts, JonnyB…pardon the pun.
I dont believe how many people didnt get the title only post.
Pink phones and photographing squirrels……fantastic!
Oli, I think people got it but the title is fun and why not have fun too…
Less is more, therefore, more is less. More or less ?
