    Mobile phone is preferable to clean underwear, apparently

    Research commissioned by LINK shows that an 18-to-24-year-old is more concerned with carrying their mobile phone than packing clean undies on an overnight trip. Dirty but connected, eh?

    Re: Mobile phone is preferable to clean underwear, apparently

    This is largely a load of crap. From the way it reads, the survey asked the most important item for people, and the 23% in that case means little - I assume most people will do without clean underwear for a few hours, and they would likely have it lower down their list.

    "Young people are almost as dependent on their mobile phones as they are on cash."

    I use my mobile to keep my family and friend's numbers and details, a calendar, an alarm, my doctor/dentist numbers, taxi numbers etc. I dont have a little book with these things in, and there are now few payphones.

    To me, this is just another article about sneering at young people... but maybe I'm paranoid.

    It's like the online techie version of the Daily Mail. Where is the Princess Diana story?

    Yep. Everything is due to the immigrants. Including global warming and war in Iraq.

    You clearly aren't taking me seriously: I meant what I said... don't you know that immigrants and foreigners killed Princess Diana and some particularly swarthy ones took Madeline McCann...?


    [I really meant what I said in my first post though!]
