Brits admit to using mobile phones during sex - and not in a good way One in 20 Brits admit using a mobile phone during sex - and not in a good way - while almost half check mail while pretending to listen to their significant other talking. More than half of us use our phones in bed, but that's forgivable as "checking email" is a marvellous excuse for another five minutes under the duvet. It is …

"What? ... No I'm not reading my email - I'm just changing my current status from 'LOL' to 'OMG!!!'."
>beep<
"Some of these instructions are a bit odd, love... 'Insert rod A into hole B and secure with a screw'... Oh, hang on a second, that page is for Karja Sootra, an Ikea wardrobe."

"Well since you ask, I was just telling Siri to add 'repair the cracks in the ceiling' to your todo list..."
It's the one draped over a chair.
The list of callers for whom I'd answer the phone during sex is a very short list. In fact, one of the people on it was terribly upset for having interrupted me, which she didn't, until I explained to her why, if she rings me, I asnwer it: she is on dialysis at 30 and if she or her family need something at 10pm or 5am or any time at all, I'll be dressed and out the door in two minutes.
1. Subject of the story was just sad - Brits have their oddities, just like 'merkins, but dayum!
2. "(most smokers can cope a couple of hours at least, and some can sleep all night without breaking for a cigarette)." What? Has the author ever been a smoker(1)? Wake up to smoke? You have bigger problems than that if this is happening.
(1) Started 27 years ago - Army buddy started feeding them to me in bars, next thing I know, it's packs, cartons... If you ever meet a Richard S. Walker from Maine somewhere, please punch him in the mouth for me. Thanks!
Gotta quit.... easier said than done.
My Army "buddy" was from Kentucky, worked in tobacco warehouses and seemingly saw himself as a smoking evangelist.
The missus and I have been using ecigs exclusively for about 6 months now. There are buttons to push, batteries to change and charge, various little devices to play with (atomizers! cartomizers! drip-tips!) , clean, unclog, refill with myriad flavors. Then you can get into variable voltage and ohms, new circuitry, form factors, variable (and verifiable) nicotine levels! Despite sucking money from the available stock, it's still much cheaper.
Ah, the fun. I think it's better than just setting little sticks on fire, flicking ashes about and littering-up the yard and premises! Much, much less destructive to ones health as well.
Ah, replying to myself again, just like talking to Mrs Surreal.
Just wanted to clarify that I'm not talking about "Blu", NLA or whatever. Look at sites like ecigsupply, madvapes, vaperschoice. I started with nasty/stale "tobacco-flavored", pre-filled, pricey ecigs.
As you were; smoke 'em if you've got em...
