The title of this post will only mean anything to you if you are ancient enough to remember that Meri Wilson Classic "Telephone Man" and these fabulous lyrics:
I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling
All this to say that I got my wifi card yesterday and within five minutes I had internet in the kitchen, in the hall, in the bathroom, in the toilet, in the garden ........ You get the idea. I may be old enough to remember "Telephone Man" but hey, I'm so funky, I'm wireless. Woo mega Hoo.

Hee hee - your RSS feed didn't show the photo, nor all of the text in this entry. It cut off at a perfect point, in fact, and so for a minute I was left wondering... ;-)
Airport throughout the house, eh? That's wonderful! Go, you! :-)
Me too. Isn't it great ;-) Oh life without that invisible wifi vascular system coursing through my body (hmm) and pumping internet throughout my house is just too awful to contemplate. If I get cancer because of it twenty (even ten) years down the line it will still have been worth it.
PS do you know of a good kitchenware shop in Bordeaux?
Look forward to meeting up sometime soon.
That was a GORGEOUS song! "And my fingers started runnin' on the telephone man"...
Hey lolly lolly indeed!
I want one .... how will I sort out having a wifi card for my mac and still keep the free box for this PC in the same house ....
another line? I have two other telephone plugs
Ancient enough? well I've got a another telephone song in my head and all of you out there will be far too young to have it in your heads ....
'I put a nickle in the telephone, to dial my baby's number, he was busy in the parlour doing fine, busy kissing someone else, while I was keeping busy, going ..pr pr pr .... busy line
singer? Rose Murphy
and at the moment I'm trying to get hold of a record by Sophie Tucker called 'One of these days'
Anyone help?
oops ....
Some of these days
Girl in Virgin megastore never heard of Sophie Tucker and neither had I not long ago but heard song on radio 4 and LOVED it
David: Ah, the end must have been a bit of a disappontment then. Sorry!
Sarah: You do wonder just how good these wifi waves can be for you, don't you? I'll send you an e-mail about the kitchenware places.
Antipo: It never ceases to amaze me that I have so much junk rattling around in my brain including lyrics from thousands of songs from the seventies.
Deborah: I had a quick look on iTunes and they've never heard of Sophie Tucker either. Are you sure it wasn't Bessie Tucker?
Is this the right Sophie Tucker? It says she had a record called 'Some Of These Days'.
yes, that is the one
here are two quotes of hers and great excitement I found the song too at:
J'ai été riche et j'ai été pauvre... Croyez-moi, riche, c'est mieux ! »
[ Sophie Tucker ]
« De sa naissance à ses 18 ans, il faut qu'elle ait de bons parents. De 18 à 35 ans, il faut qu'elle ait un physique agréable. De 35 à 55 ans, il lui faut de la personnalité. A partir de 55 ans, il lui faut de l'argent. »
