Blah..
My oldest friend (in that I've known him all my life, not my friend who is 80) has a habit of losing phones whenever he's on the piss. It usually just means going to the Optus store (I'm Aussie..) the next day and getting a new phone with the same number, but occasionally there are some funny stories..

One New Years a while back, around the time when camera-phones were the latest thing, we had a rather messy night out, afore-mentioned mate stayed at my place, and lost his brand-spanking new camera phone. A new phone is bought and all is forgotten until about August when, on another boozy night, the same friend decides it'd be funny to switch the gas mains off in my flat. Turns out it wasn't particularly funny, and just meant that I had to crawl under the stairs out the back of my flat to relight the pilot on the hot water service.
As I'm making my way out from under the stairs, I spot a battery and SIM card, and after a little more searching the rest of a rather battered camera-phone. Quite excited, I called out to my mate that I had a present for him, and when I got back inside I presented him with his old phone, which miraculously still worked.
We spent the rest of the night looking over all the photos and videos from New Years, none of which we could remember..


Another time, after getting pissed off about losing so many phones, he bought a pouch for his phone and attached it to his pants with a little chain.
What happened? That's right, he went to a party and woke up without his phone. Or his pants.

Also, he keeps all his old phone chargers. Has about 40 of the bastards.
