For anyone who is totally freaked out by BT's new speaking clock with f*cking Tinkerbell as the voice...

The really old one (e.g. before sponsorship) can still be heard on 01352 83 8081. Allegedly it's a normal call charge, not the exhorbitant rip-off rate for the new one.

Personally I wear a radio-synched watch.

Cell phone?

It is a small, portable device you can use to make phone calls or send text messages. If you're lucky, you can also use it to use the internet or post things to LJ. As the 21st century progressed, they replaced "telephones" or "landlines" as many people's main means of contact and communication.

Historians point to this shift as one of the main reasons polling was so off in the 2008 US elections, allowing Ralph Nader a shocking come-from-nowhere win of the Presidency.

Indeed -- things I don't use: a landline and a watch.
