Tony Who?

Text Education For Former PM

Tony Blair ain’t the most committed technophile in the country he used to govern. Yes, he has an iPod, but he had to get his daughter to help him use it. Yes, he has an email account – but he’s had it less than a year. Now he has revealed that he’s finally learnt how to send a text message. But he said this weekend that when he sent his first message, the reply that came back was: "Who are you?"

That could've been a real blow for his ego, except for the fact that he can console himself and say that at least he's not that notorious after all.

I actually like him at times. More so now that I can empathize with him - I don't have a cell phone myself.

Mmm, how soon they fall to oblivion.

Hi Rene,

I'm sure he's still reeling from a) the shock of the reply to his SMS and b) the fact that he can't ring you!

Keep smiling

Oh wonderful. On the other hand, he probably used to have a staff that did all that mundane stuff. You know, keeping in touch with constitutents, finding out what people were saying about him, making his phone calls, etc,etc.
And no, I do NOT own, nor use a hell phone.(Pun for the pun master.)

Hi Catmoves,

You and I could do with staff to do those chores for us!

Hell phone! I do like that .... you are the master now!

Keep smiling
