Yeah fat chance! Mind you if I ask for a bigger house first perhaps the extension won't seem such a big ask? lol Daisy

You'd think so wouldn't you Paul? The hardships and sacrifices I put up with in this marriage beggar belief! Is one teeny, weeny little room for my beautiful clothes and accessories too much to ask? Daisy

I dont like predictive texting either

Andy

Andy Report 28 Jun 2006 14:09

Gonna have a grump about predictive texting on mobile phones. I've just bought a new one and predictive texting is set as default so when I come to write a text it starts guessing at what I'm typing. Apparently, it's supposed to be quicker and simpler than just it doing normally but I'm not convinced and you can never find the option to turn the wretched thing off. In fact, I had to phone someone who I know has the same phone as me in order to find out how you turn predictive texting off!
