    I don't think it will, the phone is to important to people, some will have to do it the hard way, here we see the same people with there phones to there ears all the times :nonofinger:

    I was just thinking, if they can make a all phone ring, as in the add, why can they make some thing that can cancel a call from about 50 foot away, i'd buy one of them just to have some fun with the people around here :whistle:

        BUDGIES: I wasn't breeding them, but selling them in a shop. We had like 30 in a big cage and the fun part was to catch exactly the one that the customer wanted (even in slow motion it was still causing a lot of agitation and feather flying around) and as you suggest, enclose the budgie within the palm, and the head between thumb and medium finger, and index at the top.

        Right this moment I have an albino budgie (was originally in couple with a blue, but then the blue escaped) which is an exposition budgie born in a cage. I didn't look for it because I am neither into albino nor expositions, but it happened. She considers the cage her home and she wouldnt fly away even if I let the open window in front of her. From time to time she comes out of the cage, walks and play with the jack russell and then goes back. Her flights are short and uninteresting.

            I have been a Lloyds customer for over 40 years so am very fond of the black horse. Account still used (too) frequently on Amazon. :hate-shocked: :whistle: :heehee:

                That's a good example of the clever photography and animation that they can do nowadays :blue thumb:

                Well, cats are like that. I would respectfully formulate that their source of seriously important engagement might look entertaining to the unenlightened eyes of humans, or other species, come to that.

                I had a cat and a dog when I was young. The cat was obsessed with the hanging handle of the balcony blind, some 1.5m up. It glistened in the sunshine against the glass door, gently swinging in the breeze. The cat needed that bit of plastic. It was imperative for her to get it.

                So up jumped the cat. Higher. Higher! Citius, altius, fortius! Take a few steps back to gain momentum, and JUMP! This went on for hours at a time.

                What amused me was the Dog who laid down next to the Cat's runway and observed the process with obvious pleasure. She was very clearly much entertained, eyes following the runs like Wimbledon spectator, and smiling as only dogs can smile. :)

                  Mrs Shiney also likes this Specsavers ad. Especially the animation they do to the cat at the end of the ad.
