    In a similar vein to the 'Windscreen Lickers' thread...

    I've noticed this lately; mainly 'auld fellas in rural areas.

    In fear of being caught using a mobile phone whilst driving, they hold the phone in their right hand - but up to their left ear. Or vice versa.

    Hilarious looking; you can see them a mile off and you just know their 'on the mobile' when you see the elbow under the chin, as if they were in a headlock.

    Anyone else seen this?

    Latest thing is putting the phone on speaker and holding the phone about a foot infront of your face.

    "But I wasn't on the phone Garda!"...

    Yeah, hammerin' it around near the Tuam Rd roundabout, in a mad rush back up Liosban for a meeting. Feckers.
