Cell in the Sporran?

In one of the later episodes of Monarch of the Glen, Duncan puts his mobile phone in his sporran. That's authoritative enough for me. Actually I don’t like them either, but I have had one ever since my son got hit by a school bus in California and they couldn’t get a hold of me right away

I'm with Kiltman - if its good enough for Duncan, its good enough for me. I finally decided I needed to carry a cell after watching an older friend slip down a muddy bank and break his leg on a fly fishing trip. That was one very long day...

10 years ago I made a friend swear to shoot me if I ever had a cell phone. Thanks heavens he now lives over two hours away. For the record my wife and I share an 800 min plan, she gets 750 and I get 50.

I'm one of them cell phone haters. Never get calls on my land line...what's the point of paying a cell phone bill not to get calls?

Cell phone service out here in the boonies is VERY poor, but that doesn't stop folks from yacking away all over our little city. I often wonder who they could possibly be talking to and what could be so important...particularly when they yammer away while driving.

I do make it a point to honk my horn whenever I'm near someone driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. Its defensive, lets them know I'm there...hopefully wakes them up...and even more hopefully lets the person on the other end know they're driving while talking so maybe they'll tell them to hang up or pull over....hah!

Have no plans to put one in my sporran so my boys are safe whether there's a danger or not.
