Our new boyfriends!!




Introducing Harry the HTC and Gary the Galaxy. Who needs men, when we have just invested in the very best next thing!!

So this week I went to go and get the blackberry fixed and bet the sales man that he wouldn't be able to stop it vibrating! Nobody can!! After forty-five minutes of about 5 different men convinced they would be able to, they started with all the high tech, jazzy phone jargon that I just couldn't resist! It was literally like being in an episode of the new e4 programme 'Phone shop.'
There was a an extremely height challenged phone geek, who played the line, 'good things come in small packages' only spoken by a true small person!! A horny salesman that played the trick, "put your number in my phone so i can test it works!?!" (yes...i did nearly fall for it.) A younger salesman that tried to play the cute card and reckoned he looked like Justin Bieber, however in my opinion he looked like a McFly reject! A cheeky Irishman that was different to the rest, quieter with a moody streak, stubborn and sultry and then the finale, the Manager that thought he was the next best thing since sliced bread. Flirted to the max, thinking he was God's gift! Bossing the other salesman round, thinking that power made him sexy, a cheeky wink and scouse impression here and there, until... his girlfriend walked in with his packed lunch!!!

I was enticed by the shiny new HTC phone. So needing some support I rang Joy, (and if I'm being honest I needed a large dose of a reality check.) She didn't help, infact she too was sucked in by all the charm of the salesmen, (in particular a cheeky Irishman) and she to ended up with a new phone, the Samsung galaxy S! What started out as a simple trip to the phone shop, ended with us leaving THREE hours later, with two new phones (blackberry's still in tow), £500 cash between us, two new dongles, and a HTC phone case, and we are app-ed up to our eyeballs!!! Oh and how can i forget a certain Irish sales mans phone number!!!
