Free Upgrades
Whilst using some spare time this afternoon, checking my e-mails, reading other people's blogs, updating my own and bemoaning my suddenattack of writer's block, I get a call on my mobile. It's from my phone company asking if I want a free upgrade. I refused and immediately after the call I felt a slight tension as this image came to mind.
Please outline the arguments about a free upgrade (noting that the word 'free' means 'without cost' and the word 'upgrade' means 'get a better phone').
Skuds you are right. Lola, why do you make points in such a fashion (being the operative word), that I disagree with them and yet can't put forward a cast iron argument against them!
I agree! You see Lola I worry for you in that, if the Doctor Who Universe did exist and you were in that parallel universe, then you would be in trouble! ;)

why wouldn't you want a free upgrade (i mean the phone kind not the dr who kind)?
Why would I?
err, it's free? and an upgrade
True, but I just didn't feel like it!
you are mad. free upgrades are excellent!
Lola, you and I disagree over a no of things. It appears that free upgrades will be one of them ;)

Please outline the arguments about a free upgrade (noting that the word 'free' means 'without cost' and the word 'upgrade' means 'get a better phone').
clearly that shld read arguments AGAINST
1) I simply like my phone as it is at the moment
2) Therefore, why should I want a free upgrade. How will it make my life now any better?
becuase you might get a nice phone. my upgrade is delightful.
also phones die after a while, and a new one would stop that occurring
True. But I don't have to upgrade right now!
The phrase you are looking for Paul is "less is more".
nonsense. my new phone is in an exciting retro stylee, with a funky little blue bit, and a brown thing that you can dangle it from
what other reason would one need to upgrade?
oh, i also have a loverly pic of a highland cow as a backdrop.
Skuds you are right.
Lola, why do you make points in such a fashion (being the operative word), that I disagree with them and yet can't put forward a cast iron argument against them!
"i don't feel a funky brown thing to dangle my phone from and a picture of a highland cow would improve my quality of life" would probably suffice!
Ah, but you see I have a small, slim phone, which has a nice grey coloured exterior and which suits me well!
My phone is functional. My phone is familiar. My phone has all the features I want and none that I don't want.
I'm with Paul here: I neither want an upgrade nor do I need one.
I reserve the right to refuse to be upgraded.
I think this is where that Doctor Who anaology really kicks in...
Shudder.
I agree! You see Lola I worry for you in that, if the Doctor Who Universe did exist and you were in that parallel universe, then you would be in trouble! ;)
