... That happy feeling when you check your phone and there are no missed calls or messages, after a kiteboarding session when you were supposed to be working.

Going on holiday and not taking a phone, kinda strange for first cupla days then after a week realise can live without it.

Ha yes!

Being self employed I can particularly relate to this one. I don't know why I feel guilty sometimes, but having 12 missed calls definitely makes it worse!!!

Or pleasure of doing a down winder and pulling into the beach every twenty minutes to check your phone and finding no calls. AWESOME!!!

Would prefer to leave the phone in the office, but since work pays the phone bill I feel obliged to bring it along to "board meetings"

One day, I left work about 12 without telling anyone or asking permission and had a great couple of hours on the water. Got back an hour or so before quitting time...

... nobody even noticed my suddenly horrendously sunburned face...

the doctor will say just about anything to go against the grain and have an argument. dont worry about him to much he will die of loneliness

as far as the phones go galaxy s4 active are 1m waterproof having one in my hot little hands for last few weeks i have been VERY reluctant to even try it out. there seems to be very very little protection against water. the bottom power plug has a tiny bit of silicone with no locking mechanism an the backing case isnt all that much better. got it to use a flying instrument primarily vario etc and secondary as a means video calls while out on the water if anyone is brave enough to have used one in the water i wouldn't mind knowing how it went :P

for most people their lives are a waste of time, but I'm more proud of the fact that a hundred people called looking to buy a budgie off some poor bloke who had to answer every call that comes through..

meh, I'd rather be true to myself and follow my own path even if it meant dieing alone than say or be what I think other people want me to be simply because I was too scared to be true to myself and stand on my own

how is that private tropical island treating you....?
