Blog-tober - Telecommunications Tidbits

Two small conversations had me tittering today.

The first came in the form of a text. A number not known to my phone texted me mid-afternoon:

Unknown number: Ok. When?
Pand: And who is this?
Unknown number: Me
Pand: There are seven billion people in the world called me. Which me are you?

Unknown number turned out to be a friend - we're doing lunch next week sometime.

The other tidbit came from an email. Talking to a friend in Adelaide about a restaurant I went to last night - a Mexican affair called Touche Hombre (www.touchehombre.com.au - bad website, FANTASTIC FOOD, although it's one of these places you have to queue to get into if you're there much past 6 p.m.)

This Mexican place was the best last night. Nachos to die for - just amazing, like not your bog standard soggy doritos drowning in cheese - superb stuff. And these lamb ribs were just amazing. Next time you're in Melbourne we should go there.

Ah, sounds great, but I can't do Mexican. I'm of a delicate constitution, as you well know. I don't eat spicy food.

Sorry, just not for me. Maybe we can find a nice French Restaurant. You were raving about one a few months back. I should be over in December. Mx

I'm sure you can, but I don't want to know about your proclivities, madame....
