Your best mate gets a fancy new cellular telephone. You fantasise over its stealth exterior, high-tech touch display and substantial assortment of abilities. They say the cell phone has the capacity to get emails, have apps, they can social network and even make the odd mobile phone call. You glimpse at your own ‘so last year’ telephone and decide that it is socially unacceptable to use it any longer. You realise that they are really costly and your latest model is, after all, only 12 months old. What you need to have is a strategy to justify to your nearest and the dearest why you absolutely, positively have to have the finest mother flippin cell phone in the room!
The 2010 Championships will be held on Sat 14th August at Battersea Park Athletics Track
The competition has been running since 2004. Basically anyone can enter and see how far they can chuck an old handset. The event is organised by sport and adventure club 8th Day UK (www.8thdayuk.com) and features men’s, women’s and Under 12 categories. As there is a good cause behind it, why don’t you take your old phone along on the day to give to a phone recycling charity (the organisers will provide a selection of phones to actually throw, though you may throw your own if you prefer!).
When those people at Google take a rest from their scheme for global domination they do lots of other things – like make amusing videos! Check out this homage to the mobile phone.
