1. You forgot to type in capitals

2. You forgot to say - 'forward this message to all your friends' and 'this
has been verified by (*) microsoft / the police / the fbi'

* delete as appropriate

No, you've got it all wrong!

It actually activates the hidden speed camera detector and coffee maker that
the manufacturers fitted to your phone and then decided to hide. However,
if you like sugar in your coffee, you will need to subscribe to the service
at a cost of £95 per spoonful.

Please, before posting unmitigated bollocks of the highest order, do a
little checking first (or you could even attempt applying a dose of common
sense).

That sounds like the old model.

The new one also offers a deep-water sonar as well as a handy little
feature for changing traffic lights in your favour. Don't use both at
once. The coffee is still awful though.
