The latest craze, apparently.
Like yo-yos were in the late 1990s.
Or furbies.
Or the Segway transporter.
Or tamagotchis...

English people co-exist with French speakers, which makes the place odd.
Sounds a bit like here in Aber - English people co-existing with Welsh-only speakers. THAT's odd, specially when they refuse to speak to you if you're English lol...
YAY tamagotchi's! Where did I leave mine...?

Just be grateful you weren't an English schoolkid living in Glasgow at the height of the Poll Tax riots of '89. Guess who all the other schoolkids took it out on. Go on, have a guess.

Gordon Bennett...and this is supposed to be the 21st century and we still deep down hate each other.
Well, except us obviously on this board. We're just filled with love...
Or mutual friendship, if you found the last statement nauseating.
And my Tamagotchi's batteries ran out. Never to return...although I did once have a computer pet that could dance to The Prodigy's Firestarter. No, really.

Did you used to take care of it properly? Did you used to play with it as well as feed it? I used to hate it when I knew mine was going to die of old age. So when the batteries died the last time I didn't replace them. Istill have it stored away in a drawer somewhere. I think that they should create a new Tamagotchi, which would be a goblin one. We would have to take care it this goblin, which would be a very good thing for people like Skarkill .

Do you get to virtual-bury-it or virtual-flush-it-down-the-toilet?

My friend left his tamagotchi on a plane. Deliberately I suspect...
I once saw a TV transmission of Bob Monkhouse speaking at the Oxford University Student Union. (Bob Monkhouse was, as ever, quick-witted and eloquent.) One student asked him a question in which she referred to the 'tagamotchi' craze, and didn't realise her error. I remember how pleased I was so see an Oxford student make the kind of mistake that the average eight-year-old wouldn't have made!

Well, when it got there, I expect it met a withered old calculator of mine that was unlucky enough to get on the wrong side of me... Â :-[

Aaah the mobile and computer technology. Hunts for computer's scientific calculator Oh I have a special calculator button on my keyboared, so I don't have to even search for it . starts pressing the other special buttons

We'll still look back at certain parts of technology and laugh, though...like videophones and wires...
My aforementioned tamagotchi that could do 'Firestarter' could also be electrocuted and have its room flooded, only for a pirate ship to sail across with 'Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me' playing in the background. Best 5 minutes of fun I ever spent with a virtual pet.
Nothing compared to the real thing....
