    I was out in Calcutta in 1995 putting in a Mobile Phone Network. I used to let the guys that I got to clean my shoes in the street, and some of the guys pulling me and my mates around in rickshaws, have a free go on my engineering mobile. Some of them were genuinely scared of it at first, and of course none of them knew anyone who actually had one. However, before very long we had shown them how to dial the speaking clock, and they seemed genuinely pleased and excited. It was only a small thing, but I like to think it made a difference to their rather mundane lives.

    It's always the same when I try serious mode isn't it?

      I was going to make a rude joke about how those poor, starving, aids-ridden kids have things bad enough without SY01 visiting to help in a ham-fisted way. Then I realised this is rather unfair. Those poor, starving, aids-ridden kids might feel better about their own lot after meeting SY01, especially the fact he wasn't staying long.







      I'm hoping to time this with SY's Saturday-night drinking... anyone?

        He won't be back for a few days, and when he does it will be a sockie that turns up first. Then he'll ease himself in to it.

              Like everything else he talks about, he won't see it through.

                  Fair comment although it would be nice if he could get 1 success under his belt even if it's a trivial one to achieve.
