I'm afraid, I'm with you on this one.
It's a notebook.
I use pukka pads by preference, because I often take notes that need to be filed / moved, clipped to things, ripped out etc, so perforated and hole punched are pretty important.
It's not even the original moleskine, it's a new company trading on the old one's reputation.

I don't know if I'd bother buying one just to take notes in, but it's a great format for a mini-book full of drawings.

which is fine

but since 99% of the population doesn't, it's a brand that seems to revel in it's OWN pretentiousness!

I've never, ever seen anyone poncing about displaying a moleskine notebook

In the grand scheme of 'pretentious things people do to look really intelligent, wealthy and better than everyone else', it probably doesn't even blip my register.

Hahaha, I find myself agreeing with you.
Or do I ? I don't know.
On the one hand, it's a fucking notebook, WH Smiths do them for a quid or two.
On the other hand, they look eligent and proffesional, and if I had a proffesion where I needed to take notes infront of stylish clients, it would be a subtaly good touch, adding to illusions of grander.

"It is free phone for you madam"
"What, completely free?"
"Yes, completely free!"
"Is it stolen? What's in this for you?"
/last conversation of this sort I had.

There's no such thing as a free lunch,
or a free phone. He then admitted there was a monthly line rental.

that's the cost to use the phone,
not the cost of the actual phone.

It's still money that you have to pay to get the phone,
and it's money that goes to pay for the phone. Therefore the phone is not free. Phones do not grow on trees, someone has to get paid to make them.

"Free" means "free for you", not free in the sense that it spontaneously appeared in the universe.

It isn't free for me though either.
I have to pay money in order to have it.

Nope, if you cancel the contract and don't return the phone, they want cash from you.

that's the cost of the contract your paying,
not the cost of the phone.
You can't just get out of a contract for free, you're contracted to pay that money

it's really an entirely academic distinction.
it involves me getting a phone, and me paying money. That isn't free, in my books, if it involves paying money.

no thanks
I have one of the original ones and only used a fraction of the storage on that. I really should use the camera more.
