DECISIONS

For Friday Flash 55


DUNC THE DRUNK

Duncan
was thinking
out loud again.
“What should I do
with that money I found?
It’s a toss-up between either
one of those brand new, cutting edge,
state of the art, all singing, all dancing
mobile telephones, with multi-dimensional, space and time travel,
and… disregarding technical innovations… blowing the lot down the pub!”

    Thanks Titanium; He'll have to think long and hard... probably over a beer or three.

    I love how the phone is "all singing" and "all dancing".
    LOL.

    Clearly I have the simple cheap model with no sense of rhythm at all.
    Drat.

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    My own is posted HERE.

    Thanks Moondustwriter; It would take something like that to tempt me.
    On the background - I saw the elephant on the new options and had to take it.

    Let me know, what Duncan decides. You can find me at the pub, washing dishes and the floor, I seem to have misplaced some money ...

    Well, since I don't use phones but maybe once a month, and since it's been so darned hot here...the pub sounds better to me.

    My 55 is Here As always scroll down below my Friday Show N Tell. Have a great weekend!!!

    The phone would last longer...but the coolness & smoothness of a good beer hits the spot!

    I'm for the time travel. Totally worth the found money ;)

    If he could stick to one beer, by the time he had one there would be a newer, cheaper model out.

    my vote is for the pub conversations are some much better face to face! Nice writing!

    Ooh a makeover! And so its a phone or a legless evening down a pub. Clearly been away from England too long. Hammer Horror for me today. My 55

  26. NessaJune 12, 2010 at 3:19 AM

    I bet everyone voted with the pub.

  27. Stan SkiJune 12, 2010 at 7:45 AM

    Thanks to;
    Lulda; But has he got anyone to call?
    13th; I'd by one pint, and with the phone, keep travelling back to it.
    Alice; And he wouldn't even have to leave the pub to buy it...
    Showme; With this phone no one would ever be long-distance.
    John; Maybe, but the beer here has the same effect.
    Vodka; That's just the type of logic I would have expected from you :)
    Nessa; We were just waiting for you to arrive - it's your round.
