On the train this morning the woman sitting next to me was using her mobile phone to call someone. It happened that she had it set to display H U G E numbers so I could see what she was dialling*. She was calling the number of my friend Tommy: nnn-2099. At least that was his number when I last saw him, which was about 32 years ago. How odd that I should still recognise his number....



*is it still called dialling, now that dials aren't really involved?
