harhar, just wondering why he didn't simply say "beer", it's like saying "leik omg I lost my iPhone FML!!1" rather than "I lost my phone frown"
If my wife said she'd lost her phone, I'd have to ask whether she meant her personal iPhone or her work Blackberry.

Most of the time, I use my iPhone for things other than being a phone. I suppose I could call it a Satnav or a cycle computer or a PDA depending on the context in which I require it, but that would be a bit silly. I suppose I could say "I've lost my smartphone", but then I'd sound like a BBC presenter trying pathetically not to use a brand name.

I think it's an alcoholic lager/beer.

Like wine but fizzy and tastes more of soap and shame. I had my butler drink some as a punishment.

Maybe it was to introduce some human interest, people would be all like "wow, I drink Carling too, he's just like me" then the internet would be full of harmony and respect.

In which case it didn't work.

I spent my childhood shouting "Selotape" at Blue Peter.

Saw a BBC news presenter say "Hoover" live on TV last week, the look on his face the second after was hilarious.
