Subject: RE: Mobile users in sessions From: Banjo-Flower Date: 08 Aug 08 - 05:23 PM "About a million people have pointed out in this thread that you can set your phone to vibrate." I would if I knew how to but i'm of the age where technology does not come easily(note to myself I must find a 4 year old to teach me how to set my phone to vibrate) Jane, perhaps the twins could run a Workshop at Whitby Gerry |

Subject: RE: Mobile users in sessions From: PoppaGator Date: 08 Aug 08 - 05:35 PM I used to have a normal cell phone that would vibrate when set to "silent mode" ~ in fact, there was a third option to vibrate first and then ring. But when I had to replace it (and chose the least expensive available unit), I got a phone that gives NO signal, silent or otherwise, when the ringer is turned off. Worse yet, I was unaware of this shortcoming when I bought the thing and for MONTHS thereafter. I hate it. I'll turn it to silent for whatever appropriate occasion, then forget to reset it, and subsequently miss calls for days. As someone mentioned above, "vibrate" does not always equate to "silent." If the phone is set on a wooden table or other such "soundbox," rather than put in your pocket where it'll be muffled by cloth and flesh, the amplified buzz can be even louder than the normal ringtone. |
Subject: RE: Mobile users in sessions From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 08 Aug 08 - 07:14 PM We find that emasculation sends a clear and convincing message to the miscreants to insist on entertaining everyone around them with electronically transmitted drivel. Cell phones in any entertainment venue are about as welcome as farts in a diving bell. |
Subject: RE: Mobile users in sessions From: Snuffy Date: 09 Aug 08 - 06:41 AM In an "entertainment venue" I would totally agree, but the behaviour complained of was in a bar, open to the public for anyone to wander in. Different ball game, different rules. There are pubs where the locals who drink there all year round do not appreciate a load of "dickheads" coming in once a year and taking the best seats and making a bloody racket with instruments and singing so loudly that you have to shout to be heard when using your mobile. They have as much right as us to be there and to do what they normally do there. I find that goodwill and reasonableness is usually reciprocated - as is the opposite! Live and let live. |
