Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to come across like a prick there. And I'm totally on board with the phone thing. I've had the same piece of crap Nokia bog-standard 0 megapixel for 5 or 6 years now, and it's fine for my purposes. I spend about a fiver on credit a month and that's fine for me.
My housemate got a car recently, and he's very quickly fallen into the trap of those little five-minute drives down to the shops/ dropping people off places... it takes a lot of will-power to not give in to the temptation, and I'd much rather the temptation simply wasn't there. The cost soon clocks up. The only problem is it limits my local gig ability - there are a few little towns nearby that I simply can't play due to rubbish public transport.
