text messaging is destroying the pub quiz as we know it*
a crowd of us went to see Daft Punk in Paris a couple of years ago, and as you may or may not know, the intro to the gig was a electronic voice alternating back and forth the words 'human' and 'robot' at nosebleed volumes.
well, after we returned to Glasgow it became a habit between us to send voice messages of ourselves imitating the vocoder style intro. this went on for months. anywhere, anytime, everywhere, all the time, sending and recieving imitations of french pretend androids saying those words.
my mate, sweenie, was the one that ruined it for us all. knowing that regardless of where we were or what we were doing we would play the messages thru the loudspeaker on our phones for added amusement he sent a voice message to us all of him shouting "its kids I fuck"
I recieved and unwittingly played mine in a cancer research charity shop standing right next to my mum and two random grannies. i dropped my phone in horror and issued apologies all round.
The worst off from sweenie's clusterfuck maneuver was Keef. Keef was at a cousins wedding in the middle of the organisation of a formal family photograph stood next to two of his child relatives. according to him people thought he had said it and he had to make some exceptional explaining amidst panic.

*i realise this title has nothing to do with the story, but when I was trying to think of a witty title to do with mobiles I recalled reading an interview with the super furry animals, just as mobiles were becoming a big thing, and they claimed the were releasing a techno album with that title. sadly never happened.
