My old mobile phone has developed a most peculiar
characteristic. Sometimes the display appears upside down and back to front. It
happened again today. I realised I had a text message, so I took it to the
bathroom, turned it upside down and read it in a mirror.
(It said: ‘Your gift is with Nigel. Thank you.’ Which was a
bit of a cheek because it isn’t a gift at all. It’s payment in kind – a bottle
of single malt scotch, I hope – for doing somebody’s tax return.)
I’m waiting for some clever person to tell me that it isn’t
possible for a mobile screen to do that, which wouldn’t surprise me in the
least. And it isn’t that big a problem; what’s more of a problem is when the
characters on the screen break up and look like ink splashes. Mirrors don’t
help in that case. Maybe I should get a new mobile.
