I was talking to a homeless guy yesterday. Right off the bat he said I have an accent. He asked, Germany, right? He told me his life story. He was born in Germany and he moved to Canada when he was 5. None of his family members wanted him.

Mine still looks like that, only it's not got a cable and it's a bit less banana shaped. I don't know why they stopped making them banana shaped. It helped keep the microphone near the gob so the background noise wasn't so bad.

I'm entitled to be retro at my age.
I've got AC in the USA but my house in the UK is too small to fit one, and they cost a bomb in the UK. But I'm very lucky because the neighbour built himself a massive kitchen extension that blocks out the sunshine to my house, so it hardly ever gets hot. Wasn't it nice of him?
