    Ha I'm the opposite. I look after all my stuff pretty well. My iPhone nearly had a close call yesterday though!

    Even when DVD's are in the wrong boxes it annoys the crap outta me!

    Haha, I am similarly clumsy/careless. Numerous Ipods have been lost/broken. Phones tend to go lost on holidays, always losing money. Had to stop wearing a watch as it invariably would go missing sooner or later.

    Your heart would be broken Gimmick, Ive actually given up buying anything expensive at this stage after my personal record of buying a 16gb ipod touch last year for €350 and it lasted 6 days before I smashed the screen.

    I love the way everyone seems to think he's responsible for "Lonely This Christmas" every year though, when in actuality, Elvis had nothing to do with that song. :)

    i suppose thinking back that guy from mud does actually sound alot like elvis

    I really can't stand him, for this big reason in my honest opinion.
    I don't buy a lot of albums, however i do collect box sets. I have rake of the things at home, I like having boxsets of rarities by bands/artist i like. When i walk into HMV in Grafton St, the amount of Elvis box sets with the same sh*t songs and different packaging really makes me want to vomit.

    im a huge elvis fan, i mean i grew up listening to him non stop....im more of a fan of his obscure stuff then the big songs.

    i do agree with you though it has gone beyond a joke the amount of rediculous "new" greatest hits albums that are the exact same stuff, but thats not really his doing. the Colonel really did destroy that mans life with the rediculous schedual, lead him to the pain pills...and the hamburgers.

    yeah people continuously think thats his song which is kind of annoyin, its a mud song....although Les Gray (lead singer of mud) did state that he was purpously doing an elvis impression for that song....so elvis was kinda indirectly responsible! :p

    Theres yer answer rossie. It was purposely done Elvis style as a tribute to his slower stuff later into his career. Of course, nobody expected Presley to die two years later after the songs release.

    Does the Early Learning Centre provide a tracking device or something?

    Count me in for some Elvis love. My dad had him playing nonstop growing up, along with The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton :)

    On the flip side, Mum had Garth Brooks playing nonstop too so I know pretty much all his songs off by heart:o

    I dunno if I'm just over careful or what but I've never lost anything of value, got my first mobile phone 12 years ago (I'm old!) and have never lost a single one of them, my missus has lost 4 phones in the 2 years we've been going out, she left her iphone on the road after it fell off her lap while getting out of the car to go to a shop the other day, we were in there a good half hour!

    I don't care if you are best friends in real life or something, and putting a smiley at the end does not make any difference, that kind of comment is not acceptable on this forum. Do not do that again please.

    Thanks. I'm hoping that's the case. You know the deal with essay questions where you have to balance between writing too much, and not writing enough. Something i was always horrible at doing.
