This is Very Worrying

[Python]

Just read this in our local newspaper:

I wonder what's happened to him?

[mimitabby]

boy, if he hasn't contacted his wife in a week, it doesn't sound good. there's some incredibly rough country there.

he made it to Eureka, ca:

no word on what caused his delay.

good work Fredwina. I'll bet his wife is pissed/relieved. :p

[teigyr]

I'm glad he's ok but I bet he's got some 'splaining to do!

His poor wife though, I can't even imagine going through that kind of worry.

[Fredwina]

I was thinking the same. Maybe his cell gave out. Oh, to be a fly on the wall...:eek:

I want to know the rest of that story, too... but hey, maybe googling the name - there justcan't be too many "clive leslie" guys out there!

Apparently he didn't plan on there being no cell coverage:o

Umm, there are public telephones he could have used:rolleyes:

[Fredwina]

actually, as MimiTabby mentioned, that is very remote country (less chance of finding a phone).
Another trend over here is that a lot of pay phone have been removed - the owner's are making less money now with the Profileration of Cell Phones
