Cat managed to turn on the grill last night, so the house was full of gas this morning. NICE!

Was it doing itself a late-night sausage sarnie? our dog does that sometimes the cheeky bastard

My dog refuses to cook, she claims she can't without any thumbs.

One of our cats opens the plastic drawer, pulls a packet of cat food out and just tucks in.

A dog I had years ago would open the cupboard, pick herself a tasty potato & crunch it all over the floor.

Not used Paypal for ages - So come to log in today and it is asking for everything under the sun, and sends me some verification code to an old mobile number that i no longer use (In fact i think it got tossed when we moved house).
No worries - A quick google gives me some UK 0800 number, so i give that a call and it's one of those Automated P.O.S - urgh.
Jump through hoops, stick my tongue out and supply all info required, guess what ?

"I'm sorry, but you need to update information for that account", then fucks me off.
But i can't log in, in order to update the information, Argh !

Why can't i speak to a real person, without ringing America for £££/min

Because if you speak to a real person, you'll probably be ringing Ireland for nothing (just navigating the 0800 number menus correctly this time)?

Back in the day I had a Bosch 509e

I thought I was the only one!

I still have a "Matrix" Nokia 7110 somewhere. I wonder.......

I've still got one as well but it's in bits because the screen failed on it one day some years ago. Still got some old phones laying around too.

I have a Nokia 8210e somewhere. It's tiny and weighs nothing.

I have a 7110, and Motorola V50, and a Razr in the drawer. Really must use the Razr again. Great phone.

My first mobile was a 509e as well!

I had a Mitsubishi MT 401.

Left knee has become rather painful over the last week. Seems to be from the knee downwards.

It makes a slight crunching noise when bending. Oddly fascinating.

I once asked our cat to put the kettle on.

He said "me? ow?"

Ah ha! I've got the similar version, but the metal one otherwise known as the 8850. Very popular back in the day and very expensive.

I've still got lots of old phones I think my favourite GSM was the old Motorola Startac.

Got a couple of analogue ones to including my old Motorola that was the model after the brick, shame the dog tried to eat the aerial it was pretty clean before that.

We may have had several phones on the same number on the old analogue network which was good for saving money...

Let the dogs out for a leak earlier. One of them was hanging around at the bottom of the apple tree in the garden and wouldn't come away.

Went and had a look wtf he was interested in and there's a fucking huge brown rat up the tree eating the bird seed!

I left the dog to guard the tree and got my air rifle. The rat was stuck with nowhere to go so I blew the vile thing out of the tree. Stone dead when it hit the ground!

We've had this problem a few times before. Next door keep chickens and the rats come in from the woods over the back fence every now and then.

We kill them off and they disappear for a while but eventually more always come back again. Sodding things!

Get your phones out whilst you can, most 2G networks at consumer level are being wound down with a few to being turned off in a few years. You'll already find reception is crap as the old 2G bands are being repurposed for 4G right now.

Good shot! Much better than poison. We have a nursing home nearby and they get into the rubbish where they obviously gobble up the blue stuff. Then come over to ours to die. I am not keen on the buggers but don't like to see animals suffer so I usually dispatch them with a shovel across the neck.

Are new cheap basic phones 3G now?

In South London it'd be an Uzi... 2 clips off = miss rat completely/fell tree.

*It'd be a 'rat' as well - non of your cruel 'honkey $hit' m8

Most, if not 4G.

The exceptions at the moment seem to be "old people's" phones with massive buttons etc, a lot of those are 2G only but they stay on the market for ages unlike smartphones that get a new version every year.

The last phone to launch as 2G only was the remake of the Nokia 3310, and that's just been upgraded to 3G

Yeah, I'm not a fan of using poison as it's a horrible slow death for whatever eats it. Plus they eat it then disappear off and die elsewhere which can cause flys and bad smells. It also runs the risk of killing anything that might get hold of the corpse or disoriented dying rat (like dogs and cats).

I've got a good scope on my rifle and it's easy to get a clean shot with it so there's no suffering.

It's not nice to kill things of course but these rats are disgusting vile disease ridden things and it's not good having them near the house and garden, especially if they start breeding!

I wish they'd sod off tbh and then I wouldn't need to do it.

I've put some old peanut butter out in the garden as bait to see if there's any more nearby. So far I've seen a few tiny mice, which are fine, but no rats...

" I wish they would fuck off"

Puts peanut butter down to attract them

Got to be sure there's no more!

The last lot dug out under our shed base and made a nest. It took ages to get rid of them. It's best to kill them off before they get chance to dig in.

Had no idea - thought the typical £10 feature phone stuff was just old kit hence cheap. Guess the chipsets will have come down in price thanks to smartphones though
