Your contacts

Upforthematch

I'm after getting a text from a Mairéad - her name is in my contacts but I have no idea who she is. How do I reply to that?

It inspired me to look at my contact list. I've the same phone for years and there's a handful of names that I have no memory of who they are.

Does this happen you fellow people of boards?

Is the text meant for you?

Check and see if she's on What's App and has a profile picture?

It was a booty call and he's panicking because he can't remember if she's a fox.

This is it

I'm really bad at saving numbers under the right names...

Its probably Tippex hes sniffing , glue tends to burn up the brain cells quicker.

No profile picture on WhatsApp unfortunately - it's just asking how was my week?

A leading question isn't it!

Just say all's quiet and you can't wait to get back to school.

Genius sugarman!

She replied and it turns out we worked together 10 years ago! I remember her now and no it's not a booty call :pac:

That's going to end well,

I've a neighbour in her 70s who's cocooning at the minute. She's not all that tech savvy so I look after a lot of that kind of thing for her. About a month ago I was adding 60 minutes a day to her package at a cost of €3 a shot. I suggested GoMo to her and ordered a SIM. On the switchover day she dropped over her phone for me to do the setup. When it was done I sent a text to her phone to test it and the texter before me was "Linda Bitch".

I just checked there, my contacts have been transferred from old phones since 2002. I have over 1700 saved. Most of them have some sort of story behind them, it's actually nice looking back. There are also a lot of people still in my phone who have died down through the years. A few people who have done fairly well for themselves too. Lots of takeaways from various places I've lived, some closed down. And 200 blocked numbers

I presume Linda isn't your given name!
