Not sure if you meant the pun but I loved the comment about cruise ships and port considering that's where they spend half their lives. And really! text messaging and e-mail are the height of modern vulgarity. You should do as I do and insist that everyone communicates with you by telegram, preferably delivered by a waif with no shoes on...just as it was when you were middle aged. Haha.

But do they use the correct glassware?
(Actually, one does not have to be overly fussy - the standard airline wine glass is quite adequate for Port, but shot glasses are completely wrong..)

Arsenal, does no-one talk to you any more? The last country to use Telegrams was India, and their service ended in July 2013.. ;-)
Seriously though, although we have all grown up with the 'phone, it is, on reflection, a very rude device that demands that the recipient stops whatever they are doing to attend to the call. With other means of communication now mainstream, I am proud to limit its use to those occasions when there is an urgency that justifies it.
Telemarketers, including those from companies I do business with, get a lecture in manners from me when they make calls without just cause..
Have you checked your chimney recently lest there's a small urchin stuck up it?
..meaning what?
By embracing the notion of a 'post 'phone' lifestyle, I see myself at the cutting edge of civilised existence - not romanticising the distant past..
Don't worry Oldgit, this forum has devoled into a pitiful existence over the last few months.

. . . and your spelling has devolved into a message board black hole, also known as the Latinexpoxx Non-Event Horizon ... possibly because you have gone blind? Or has your latest drama morphed from blind into acute sperm buildup.

Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
That would be going blind. I pur more care into other communication, but for SGT posts, usually just let it slide as I figure everyone will be able to figure out what I'm saying. There's three options for typing blind:
1.) Drop your typing speed to about 12wpm, so you can listen to the screen reader say every character as you type it. Can still easily mixup things though, like M and N for example, because they're right beside each other and sound similar.
2.) Spend about 3 times as long proof reading message as it took you to type it.
3.) Say fuck it, and let the typos slide. This is what I generally do for SGT.
Yes, let's face it, why care about your readers and making sure you're communicating effectively?

Ever more charming with each poisonous post.
