Focus. That’s my mantra from now on. Focus.

 

[shiels]

Focus.

 

[luka]

Good mantra, although in practice you probably need to zone out once in a while too

 

[shiels]

I hardly need a reminder to do that!

 

[shiels]

Corpsey is getting the same one. His and his Nokia bricks. We’re gonna be focus buddies.

 

[luka]

Good point. Can you use your lazer focus to solve postmodernism for me then?

which one did you get?

Aren't you going to miss online dating? You told me you have a voracious addictive appetite for it and are signed up to 10 different sites.

Have a lot on at the minute but leave it with me and i'll get back to you in a couple of weeks

They have online versions, so I can just use them for ten minutes in the evening and give off an air of nonchalance rather than being a frenzied salivating dog like you imply

proper indestructible hard man phone. havent got the time phone. callouses from the clicky buttons, fix your boiler, pints with the lads phone.

 

[luka]

That's good news. That'll be good for you.

we can send each other stunted text messages with typos, get stuff done.

I wish I'd bought one of those instead of a new iphone this year. I had a Nokia 3310 a couple of years back during my time working as a landscape gardener and it was genuinely lifechanging - my attention span increased massively and the feelings of jealousy and fear of missing out which I used to have from being plugged into twitter and instagram 24/7 dissapated almost entirely.

i find that FOMO thing a bit weird as i always assumed any party i was at was ipso facto the best one. lucky quirk

 

[yyaldrin]

I had to get a new phone recently and got a Nokia thing from 2017.

got myself one of these too now. let's see how this will change my life.

 

[shiels]

All in it together lads. Focus.

i'm into this. besides etching it into my brain or carrying an analog map or getting a separate GPS device, how are we coping with not having a GPS on a phone? that's the one thing i can't figure out
