    If there were a show like 'The Osbournes' but 'The Jones'' we'd have the best television ever.

    Oh my! That is fantastic - and I have to say I agree...who hasn't been on a bus with some jerk screaming into their cell phone about nothing?

    Ah - thanks limbimtimwim, you've just added another reason to why I love my bike....hardly ever need the bus now!

    Me and my imaginary friend have been goin' round the bend for some time now....

    Bob is a cool guy. Like most people that have a little bit of money he's an arrogant son-of-a-bitch though. In my opin... wait a minute, I have to take this....

    Totally agree with Bob.
    I love new technology. I had one of the first cell phones in town, never mind "the brick", this one had a separate handpiece like to the main unit and took up 3/4 of my (rather large) briefcase!!
    But there is a time and place for everything and civility is still important. My pet dislike is for those people who insist on answering texts while I'm trying to have a conversation with them. Nowdays, I immediately stop talking (usually mid sentence) and walk away. Interesting thing is I am often the one accused of being rude!
    As for those dorks who insist on wearing their blue tooth earpieces absoulutely everywhere, like they are that busy and important they need such a device every moment of the day?? Seem to see heaps of them driving around Aucks in Nissan Cedrics, Toyota Coronas etc.

    Sorry..........it's Sunday morning, it's raining, there are things to do and I would rather be riding...........= grumpy.

    Have to agree with him - most people use their cellphones to 'prove' how important they are. What they don't realise is that if they WERE that important, they wouldn't be answering their own phones! I bet Bill Gates doesn't wander around with one pressed to his ear all day. As far as I am concerned, the only time you have a legitimate reason to leave your phone on night and day is if a member of your family is close to death and you will need to arrange to get there when the inevitable happens. Or you are on call, etc. Anyone else can and should turn it off when meeting other people or having a meal, it's just rude not to.

    I like the way Bob gives the others arseholes on Dragon's Den - it's worth watching for that alone! I hate that young guy and Annette Presley - that voice of hers could strip paint at 50 paces and she laughs like a bloody witch!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Like Bob Jones, I resent the rudeness many cellphone users exhibit. And inappropriate timing of texting is just as bad. How did people manage multiple relationships before these things were invented?

    I'm wondering, because you asked that question in a kind of rhetorical sense, do you really mean you are some kind of expert?

    He'd have to be in some sort of national manager of communications type role to ask questions like that wouldn't he?

    Much like "call waiting" on the land line.
    "I have another call coming in - hang on a second..." so I hang up.
    They call back, "I think we got cut off?..." me - "No, I hung up on you". Morons.

    It's an image thing. Like look at me..........I'm a wheeler dealer and so important that people need my decision making expertise......... etc etc.


    I just see them as modern day Maxwell Smart's. Fuckwits with a shoe phone complex.

    SPeaking of people being rude fuckwits - how about going to a concert, yeah it's in a small venue (pub) but does that mean you have to talk all the way through it - you dumb bitch!!! Some of us are here because we actually want to listen to the singer....

    Nah, Pub gigs are fair game. No one playing in a band expects anyone except their immediate coterie to pay any attention at all, and even then the coterie are usually bored to death with the same old, same old.

    Phones though. Don't be surprised to wear a drum stick in the middle of a set if you answer your phone during an acoustic piece and then proceed to laugh loudly. I always throw them so the stick is spinning at about 300rpm and can be mistaken for an "oops, slipped" moment.

    Still smarts though.

    I've always like Bob Jones' style. Punching media up while being stalked when fishing was another great Bob Jones moment.


    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    What about when the singer actually asks people to take it outside or shut up? She asked "nicely"...
