New phone. Ouch!

22 Replies

I've bought brand new iPhone

An upgrade from the old.

I found that poor oldie

Wasn't doing as I told.

This one's a wee bit bigger

And smarter too I think

It does it's work much quicker

It's over it in a blink

It's also very friendly

And talks to me all the time

I have to keep convincing it

That yes, I'm really fine.

I got some little extras

When I totted up the bill

Looking at that final figure

Made me feel quite ill.

Good morning Mr.D...

.hope you've not been bothered by the terrible winds last night,some were said to be 70mph.

Your very posh new phone will have all new tricks for you to play around with but I for one am not a real lover of the lady's voice "Sari". You certainly are a modern fellow!

Almost forgot to say you have supplied us with another Mr,D classic rhyme!!

My wheel barrow blew down so it must have been quite strong but I didn't hear it. I closed the window which I usually leave a bit open. 😉 I worked with IT at a very early stage and have tried to keep up since, but it is getting more difficult with my failing memory. Apparently I can change to a male voice and even change the accent on this phone. As for rhyming, I don't think I can stop now. A classic class of OCD? 😱

Oh dear Don, I hope you soon get used to your new phone. Ignore the chit chat but Siri can be good for info.

Great poem once again. Xxxx😘

Thank you Carol, Siri has recently had a sex change and a change of accent too. I don't know who the heck I'm talking to now as I try all the alternatives. 🤣

I replaced my old phone with one that was smart

To find I had put the horse before the cart

It confused and confounded me and made my brain hurt

I couldn't understand it - that was a cert

So I cut my losses and got rid of the thing

And now I look forward to when it rings

No more cutting off my friends calls

Now I feel smarter and am standing tall.

I can relate to that Don. 🤣🤣 I’m still trying to find a new deal I can afford without taking out a bank loan😂

in reply to Whitechinchilla

Well I'm always being told that I can't take it with me, so I've given up thinking I might try! 🙄

So Master Po i have a veritable pandora's box of wanna bee friends in my house,"Bixby" on the phone,"Alexa" on my amazon thingy and "Samba" on my tv and they have all been silenced as their constant chatter and drivel was driving me crazy,btw who is "Sari" i thought he was the manager of Chelsea. :) x

Ski's and Scruff's who are not very good with IT

in reply to skischool

Really? Goodness me! Fancy that! You are popular amongst the gadgets. I didn’t know Chelsea had a manager, suburb of London isn’t it? Siri is a girl who sells Apples. 🍎🍎🍎🍎

Wondered what your take on this lovely Don rhyme would be, cheeky Skis.....as some would say! I only know Alexa, who’s quite helpful, and Siri who appears on my iPhone safari/internet stuff....we haven’t got to know each other yet!

Sari is no friend of mine...!! We’ll have words about him later, when he performs at Ole Trafford 😃 Think you might get in to the top four.....:-( xx

Ha! You’re right!

OMG I hadn’t noticed the Leicester result....Jamie Vardy to the rescue....splendid! We just need Pogba on form to impress Real Madrid, and we might just have a chance.

You’ve got to face Leicester yourselves yet, as well as the Europa lot....Good Luck, my friend xx
