Why is it iPhone users always refer to their mobile phone as their iPhone?
I can't think of any other phone users that refer to their phone by its model Hang on, I'll be right with you, i've got a call coming in on my Galaxy.

I do this with my car. 'Hop in the Astra' I say, 'I'll bring the Astra' says I,
That way people know I'm a success. A success with an ASTRA.

Mercs are for bitches and queers. Real men and TRUE LADZ drive Astras or Mk 2 Golfs.

I call my car Bucephalus as it is my steed and I have crippling delusions of grandeur.

I call mine Legion, as devils possess me when I drive and everyone else on the road becomes a 'fucking stupid cunt'

I imagine riding down thousands of Persians when I drive.
Which, when I lived in Slough, wasn't so far off the truth.

You should come down to Folkestone*, not many Persians but thousands of Ghurkas if you're into that kinda thing.
*obviously you definitely shouldn't as it is shit

I'm just using the term to differentiate it from my other phone.
If you're talking about two phones, you can't just call them both "my phone", it's confusing. I learned that at university, you know.

referring to them as 'Kodaks'

Fascinating I'm sure you'll agree
