Let's get one thing clear. It's not cool to wear bluetooth device when you're not in your car. So when Labour MP and Defra Minister Barry Gardiner wandered into the Commons to have his breakfast this morning wearing one, you can imagine the reaction of some of his fellow MPs. One Tory wag piped up: "Just finished your night shift on the cabs, Barry?" How cruel.
Now THAT's funny!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, wearing a Bluetooth earpiece is never, ever 'cool'. It is always always always the height of vapidity, stupidity and idiocy. Unless one is wanting to look like Howard Jones.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is not a good look. Ever.
Goodbye moto.
I was advised it wasn't cool to wear one anywhere - especially in the car!
ReplyDeleteWhen my phone rings, I spend several frantic seconds scrabbling around - first to find the blasted thing, then open it, then wait while it starts up, then, panic when nothing happens, then, finally sit smouldering because I've missed the call.
Then, I have to find a layby without a BT engineer parked up having a fag, scroll through all the numbers received, and ring the last one, only to find that its Mid Kent Water trying to sell me an insurance policy!
I give up!
But I thought it was essential to keep the vast array of rather dim labour Ministers on-message and connected to teh mothership?
ReplyDeleteSurely they're not capable of independent thought without having the 'line' fed direct to their earhole?
BTW, did anyone see My Little Chipmubnk being savaged by a dyspeptic Paxo last night? (He had considerable success at taking Alex Salmond apart as well.)Required viewing, but not for children or those of a nervous disposition. Top stuff.
I think it must be part of the attempt to make all Labour MPs part of the new race of Cyberman, if this hasn't happened already :)
ReplyDeleteWas Verity a consultant that helped put those lovely 'Why Go Green, When you can go Brown' advertisements ?
ReplyDeleteOr are you just trying to bankrupt them ? Talking of which, I wonder whether another Browne may cross to the other side of the fence following his recent escape from the dark side..

Maybe he fancies himself as a low rent Nathan Barley (qv) - but he'd need one on each ear for that.
ReplyDeleteI think if I had a blue tooth I would make an appointment with the dentist to have it extracted...
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't it "cool"
ReplyDeleteIt is often discourteous in that it suggests the wearer is doing something more important than talking to youb but discourtesy is not necessarily uncool.
So that's what those things are. I thought all these people were extras from Startrek - or maybe they were wearing some sort of trendy deaf-aid.

Surely it would be easier to take an axe to it?
I was at school with Barry Gardiner. He was in fact quite a nice guy who did not take himself too seriously. But he was definitely known as Barrie in those days. Much camper than the rugged spelling he has since adopted.
ReplyDeleteTry this one for amusement
ReplyDeleteThank You Jinnah
Colin...
ReplyDeleteYeah, Paxman's piles were clearly giving him jip last night, he was utterly relentless. But, he is really just barking at people now, not even bothering asking questions or getting any information out of them.
I enjoy it, but actually, does it serve any purpose?

ReplyDelete"our" politicised bureaucracy attempts to avoid the bleedin' obvious.
What is a bluetooth device?
