Mobile phones can be more trouble than they're worth

28 October 2008 by Doug Imrie

Just had a laugh reading about a poor passenger on a French train that had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down one of the on-board toilets whilst trying to fish out his mobile phone (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7693386.stm). Apparently the passenger was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm...

It reminded me of being on a flight from Edinburgh to London a few months ago that got held up on the tarmac for a couple hours while mechanics tried to retrieve a mobile phone that had been dropped down the toilet. Why did they have to get it back? Because they had to be sure it was switched off as it was against regulations to fly with mobiles switched on. Life was so much easier (and safer) before the bloody things were invented!

I've recently began experimenting with glass in diverse applications around people's homes and workplaces. But reading the suggestions which you have here I'm wondering regardless of whether i could incorporate my tips with yours. Thanks for provoking my thoughts!

Wow, what a blog!  I mean, you just have so much guts to go ahead and tell it like it is.  Youre what blogging needs, an open minded superhero who isnt afraid to tell it like it is.  This is definitely something people need to be up on.  Good luck in the future, man.
