My mobile just rang. Wrong number. Had one yesterday too. I've had more wrong numbers on that thing in the 2 and a half months i've had it then i think i get at home in a year. Well that doesn't count all those times the phone rings and there's nothing there, not a person, just dead air. I think that happens from a computer call or a call center i'm told. Usually the answering machine gets them in the daytime. Or people just realize it's the wrong number when they hear the answering machine message and just hang up. If you know me and y ou get the answering machine, DON'T hang up! Just say your name even if you hate machines lol Now that i don't have call display on my mobile, i don't even see the number or the name if it's in my phone book. That's annoying. I may get that put back on even if it's a paid service. At least i can see the numbers then. (Update, have gone online and added call display and it works! Yay!)

Then there's people that leave their mobile phones on their desk and go off somewhere. And it rings. and rings. Over and over. Because it's her kids trying to ask her something that they absolutely can't wait for. even though it's never an emergency. And they keep trying every 2-3 minutes or less.

Pants here can be either underpants or trousers. Quite often "panties" is used for underpants. Pants generally do mean trousers though. I love the word knickers, it just works better lol

"panties" always sounds so.. flimsy or something! Most people over here know what that means, but it's very, very rarely used. I guess we only know from American TV ;-)

Knickers is a good word - it's also good as a swearword around elderly aunts!

Then there's the new slang.. "pants" for something bad and wrong lol
