Hurry up and post your picture Pete, you, the phone and the paper, it's easy.

And I'll admit I'm a tosser to everyone on here.

Come on Pete, you can win, post the picture, what's stopping you.

Oh dear, poor Pete, someone calls your bluff and you can't provide the goods. Never mind eh, just carry on posting your rubbish.

As I said, it's easy for you to do, let's face it, you spend all day on Snet, so it's no hardship to take a picture and post it on here.

No insults needed now Pete, I've made a simple request, either you do it, or you don't.

Forget the rest of them Pete, it's just me and you now, like Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, the tumbleweed's rolling down the deserted road, so put up or shut up.

If he's as old as he says he is, that shouldn't even be a problem!

Maybe that's it, a photo of himself will reveal a 42 year old geek in a tank top.

Still no picture?

Don't tell me you've been caught out again Pete?

Never mind, everyone knew it anyway, so you've not embarrassed yourself too much.

I'm up for it, but let us be a little more specific about the "conditions", so that you can't worm your way out from some of the comments (alleged facts) that you have made. This thread is going to haunt you!!!!

The following names admit that they are complete and utter tossers - if pslewis provides for public viewing on Scoobynet, (an) un-tampered digital image(s) which clearly show his Motorola MR30 mobile phone; switched on and displaying a live Orange operator logo (as generated by Orange as a network service provider, and not some typed in text via the Welcome note or the address book); powered solely by one of the previously mentioned three original NiMH batteries; with a recent copy of a monthly statement including the date and the first 5 digits of the mobile phone number clearly visible (other information can be obscured if personally identifiable) - after all, it is a contract phone; proof of a "Virgin Offer" contract that began in 1996 (e.g. receipt with date); plus a publicly available and identifiable document such as a newspaper to confirm the date the picture was taken; before midnight on Tuesday 10-Oct-2006; for a mobile phone that is still in regular use!

Place names here:-

...you have just over 24 hours - should you decide to accept the mission!!

You've C0CKED UP, pure and simple. Gotta hear what lies you'll come up with to defend this one. We won't as you will chicken out by not answering the question. What was this Virgin deal in 1996?

I bet you've had your Impreza since 1980 as well too

Oh, and in case people are wondering...Virgin Mobile - About Us -

Dracoro,

i spotted that fundemental flaw back in #29, but Pete (bless his short memory) never got back on that observation

Please add your name to the list - that way more people can come back to haunt him, whenever he spouts his drivel in the future!

No picture yet Pete, why not just save face and admit you've been caught out again?

Anyway your time's up now, you couldn't deliver, because you're not who you say you are and your phone isn't what you say it is.

It's that simple really, I'm sure you'll come up with some hilarious insult to deflect attention from your failure to deliver.

Let's face it, Pete's left the building, the humiliated loser that everyone already knew he was.

ONLY TWO TOSSERS have signed up .......

Hardly enough for me to get off my fat ****!!

I can show a monthly bill when the next one comes in, I actually tear up my bills as they are so small - about 35p - that I wait until it reaches £1 or so before paying it - this can take 4 months!

The bill clearly shows that it is an ORANGE bill on the VIRGIN Equivalent Contract .....

I can take a picture of the Old Brick Phone with ORANGE LOGO on and powered by its original batteries .....

What is difficult to prove is when ORANGE agreed to match the VIRGIN Contract - but that isn't what the thread is about is it?

The thread is about the oldest Mobile Phone still in use and still on the original contract .... GC8 is claiming to have won that challenge.

So, I want MORE TOSSERS to sign up that they will admit to the world that they are tossers if I show a current Orange bill showing that it matches the Virgin contract and the phone running off its original batteries!

Pete

Personally I'm not disputing you have some old phone that you still use, I don't even dispute you pay 35p a month. Great for you I'm sure. HOWEVER, you did NOT get the Virgin equivalent deal in 1996, pure and simple, admit it.

The Virgin Deal when isn't the issue ..... the 10 year old phone and 10 year old batteries are the issue!!

Pete,

by the agreed criteria, no tossers have signed up, because you have failed miserably in a rather trivial task. At least i had the courage to put my reputation at stake - and beat you hands-down

If you had spend half as much effort into producing the required image as you have inventing pathetic excuses why you are so "superior" as to not to have to bother, you would have had extra time to write even more self-publicising troll posts. Think about that - the less that you troll, the more time you will have to troll!!!

The thread did indeed start about a query about the oldest mobile phone, but as usual you turned it into a merry-go-round of spin, lies and back-pedalling. You didn't used to work for the government by any chance??

Funny how all of your threads turn out that way

I await your usual juvenile name calling

This is like speaking to Michael Howard, completely evading the question. And on the 'issue' you're STILL evading that as well. Anyway, you LIED about getting the virgin deal in 1996 so you've probably lied about the 10 year old phone & batteries since you won't put proof up. YOU put this thread up, YOU made the claims, YOU said you'd proove it and YOU have NOT. goodbye.

If you want to get rid of your old mobile phones then guide dogs for the blind recycle old mobiles. Every phone is worth £3.50 to them
