Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I can't beleive how many people, even up here in regional Victoria, that walk around or drive around talking to someone on their mobiles. I annoys me for some reason! I have a mobile phone which I have for important moments. The biggest problem that I have encountered is that when I need the phone I can't get any reception! Once was when I fell down a mine shaft. I suppose I shouldn't really expect the phone to work then. I'll have to wait for the affordable satellite hookup. It did come in handy once I managed to work my way out, as I needed a long ladder to retrieve my dog who was still down at the bottom of the shaft!
On another occasion I nearly stood on a brown snake. I got my phone out to see if I could get any service - nope! Another inch or two and some bad luck it could have been all over for me, but I suppose without the phone I'd be in the same situation!
I basically have a mobile phone for emergencies but I wouldn't mind having one that could always get service.
