me and Wiggy barely talk on the phone
we're both rubbish at it. He'll ring and I'll go "yeah?" and he'll say what he wants to and then I'll say "Ok bye" and hang up straight away. We don't ring 'just for a chat' because there are always really long bits of silence.

Ms Foxtrot's the same with texts
Her texts are always proper businesslike. Straight to the point with no hello's, goodbye's or how-are-you's. If I didn't know her I'd think she didn't like me.

Um...

Hahaha!
I do the same. But I rather call than text. Texting takes too long. I prefer a quick call, say what I have to say, and bye.

I'm the same with emails
unless they are formal. one of my mates got a bit arsey about it one day, but the way I see it, it's basically like having a conversation, with someone who isn't there and has to communicate by text.

I don't feel the need for loads of meaningless pleasantries with every conversation with my mates in person so no need via email either.

typically my mate carl will phone me or vice versa and we'll answer with the most ridiculous insult we can think of.

We do it when we're on assignments, living in different places
and the conversation can be very long, both of us telling each other what we've done and what we're doing, and planning for the weekend and all that. But at the end, when we both are tired of talking, we just say buy and he hungs. That's it. Quick and easy.
