Is there a worse txt msg??
« on: September 24, 2008, 06:58:42 AM »
I received a txt msg from my son who is travelling through Africa "Been mugged, dont have a phone anymore, I'm fine"
 What sort of msg is that for your mother!!!! What does "fine" mean? Did he get hurt? Did they get anything else?
I know nothing more until he gets in touch again, which according to his itinery will be in about 22 days! :scream

I notice it's your son, 2JD, to which the most appropriate response would be to say "men" lol

Not to try and upset you further but there are some pretty terrible places in Africa for tourists.  A girl I worked with was shot after her car was hijacked when travelling in Kenya.  One of her friends was killed and two others seriously injured.

Hopefully, he'll be home soon.  But I'm glad to hear him say he's okay, which must make you feel better.

Still, that's probably one of the worst messages a mum can get.

Sheesh! The fact he sent a txt hopefully means he is okay 2JD.

Someone I know was mugged in Kenya by one of their cops while travelling through Africa. As Yes Minister would say  TPLAC.

Not quite MT lol I didnt think we'd have the need for an ark these days ;D
The good news is, we can all stop worrying, I've heard from him via facebook (must have been a wireless pc in a boab tree or something) and he's good
Mind you I might mug him after i hug him when he gets back....He couldnt just say he lost his phone?????? kids! ::)
