This was the clamshell design cellphone that was around before the flip phone became popular. I remember that I lost mine one day when I was walking my dog and my neighbor found it and he thought that it was a turtle.
- Where will you find a giblet?
This would be found in an upscale bar, as it is a cocktail made of gin and lime juice, that you drink while wearing a bib, thus it is very much like a gimlet, but the bib is issued in case you want to eat some lobster.

Thanks Di and I was just wondering if you had one of those clamshell phones.

No. I had a little nokia for about 15 years, and now I have another simple PAYG phone that has a camera on it, but nothing else. There was no flip lid or casing on either.

#4… IIRC, the actual quote dates from a novel in 1869, “The Crown of a Life” by Isa Blagden but someone else could easily have said something like it earlier and been lost from history. There is no doubt in my mind that Lenin and Goebbels and maybe even Trump have believed this, along with every other tin-pot dictator, marketing director, and minister of propaganda who ever lived – even if they didn’t explicitly say it.
“If a lie is only printed often enough, it becomes a quasi-truth, and if such a truth is repeated often enough, it becomes an article of belief, a dogma, and men will die for it.”
It is a commentary on human weakness.
