    Wouldn't be more expensive than buying a new filofax ? Mybe my problem is that a filofax is probably much more expensive than I think it is.

    Some were expensive, some weren't. The ones you are thinking of are like Timex watches - the one he had was more of a Rolex :laugh:

      You have no chance getting your phone back, but you can have it blocked so it doesnt work. If we all do this mobile phone theft will be a thing of the past.

        Your carrier can track it, but as soon as you tell them it's stolen they'll just block it. So you can, but they won't.

                    Not too bad - I think it's had about four of those.

                        I don't need a battery. The only /slight/ draw back is the ~£400 service every 4-5 years. :sigh:

                                    I got used to it very quickly. I've had it 17 years now and mine keeps pretty good time. I was very lucky, I won some money and so I had enough to go out and buy it; £1530 in 1994. Today it's around £4,000.

                                          Hey! You can pass that cost on (with the watch) to generations as yet unborn!

                                          I doubt the Ickles will want my watch; we'll see. They will inherit Mrs Wife's extensive collection of watches and jewellery, so I doubt if they'll complain.
