COLD DARK ROOM

[Gillian M]

Evening, Gillian, welcome back to Our Cold Dark Room.
Hope you and Oli are well.
Don't think Lyn's actually done anything in particular, just a bit of a bashing might be fun.

It seems that YOU are the one looking for trouble and REAL trouble. Lyn turned out to be innocent this time.

Is the phone on a contract or pay as you go?
Mine is payg and in the menu, under contacts, is Top up credit.
You have to give card details to set up, but after that they just ask for the last 4 nos and the 3 security nos on back and its easy to do anytime - well in the UK it is.

I think we have that.
Wifey's bought a really expensive super duper phone that does everything.
It takes photos, has the net, GPS, all sorts of stuff, it might even send texts and make calls like mine as well.
She'd run out of internet credit and wanted more, but the money she paid also seems to have come off her phone credit as well.
I don't touch the thing, but I'll tell her what you said.

Wow. A new side of Gillian...

ooops!
I'm sorry, Gillian, i'll be good.
How's Oli?
(he says trying to change the subject.)

 

[Moozillion]

But it is.
Again.
Not much chance of lightning in Our Cold Dark Room.
Though it would help us see if there is a ceiling.
Guess so, as i've never seen the moon or stars in here.
Someone climb a wall.

Well, I tried. Got a few meters up and hit a rocky outcrop. It seems to be a sort of shelf, and now I'm sitting on it. Hey! Something dripped on me- oh, COOL: a stalagtite!!!!

Mine isn't a fancy phone but has internet if I want it, and using it does deduct from phone credit.

Crikey!
I thought it was a room, it seems to be The Cold Dark Cave.
That is cool, (or Cold, actually), I love caves and stalactites.

She's got separate credit for different things and pays for Gigas of internet credit at a time.
Or something.

I used to have a geog teacher in school and he said the way to remember the difference between stalagmites and stalactites is
mites go up
tites go down

he was a a bit pervy but I've never forgotten it!

Lost me! But she may still be able to use the phone to top up.

Adam bullies me via Gillian.

Yes, he was a bit, wasn't he?
I always teach a stalactite clings tight to the roof.
A stalagmite might grow up to join it.
And form a pillar.

You need a champion....But I'm not getting in Gillians way!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Adam bullies me via Gillian.

No! no ! no !no! no !NO!
yes.
A bit.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Very wise.
Gillian's great.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Very wise.
Gillian's great.

Yes she is. And a valued friend.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes she is. And a valued friend.

Hurrah to that!
Have some points.

 

[Lyn W]

Thanks Ed!!!

(but I understand she is a force to be reckoned with - as well as a good friend)

 

[Lyn W]

No! no ! no !no! no !NO!
yes.
A bit.

If I sit very quiet hopefully Gillian won't find me in the dark.

I've just found this post - Thank you Gillian!
Yes it is Adam that's cruising for a bruising!
But as I'm not a violent person, I'll let him off this time as he was just trying to persuade you to join us.

p.s. I'm always innocent!
