I was chatting on MSN with my friend in Gumna, as i do most mornings (i teach a short conversation class to my friend via webcam about 5 mornings a week) when i heard what sounded like an old-school alarm clock going off.

For those who don't know, the premise is that you get a call on your cellphone -- using a ringtone ( Read more... )
