Does anyone want this brain? I'm not using it.

[20thcenturyvole]

So I've been trying to reach my brother by e-mail for urgent laptop consultation, when it finally occurred to me to use this ancient technology that predates internet communication, commonly called the 'phone'. By 'occurred to me', of course, I mean my dad told me that England was only three hours behind and he'd be at home right now twiddling his thumbs anyway, so for God's sake call him if I wanted to talk to him.

I'm to call back in ten minutes, once he's done surfing the internet looking for tech specifications. It really is about time I get over this ridiculous fear of the telephone.
