If you had to choose between giving up your mobile phone or chocolate, which would you choose to give up?

I have my mobile for personal security; chocolate won't call the RAC man out if the car breaks down when I'm out at a meeting at night.

I could get along quite happily without my mobile phone, I never use the thing anyway. I always use my house phone on the few calls I have to make. I'd really miss Cadburys Fruit and Nut though. ;D

I managed to live the first 40 years of my life without a mobile, but I'd hate to be without chocolate that long.
I still find it mostly an intrusion, because it invariably rings at the wrong time. I don't want the whole bus/train/whatever to know my business. I resent getting out of the bath and I hate being bought back to reality if I'm enjoying a quiet days fishing.
The most embarrassing saga of owning a mobile was when I was trying to avoid an old flame. I'd already given her a false land line number, then she asked for my mobile number. I told her I didn't own one and sods law dictated that it should ring at that precise moment! ... and it was my current girlfriend, so I had to answer it
I mumbled it's a work phone, gotta go - and quickly scuttled off

My landline is for incoming calls only and I never phone out on it. I only got the landline as part of my TV package in the first place. I find my mobile a useful tool and I have no use for chocolate at all.
Lynnrose has got the best of both worlds, she has get an LG Chocolate mobile.
I've been having fun the last few days, learning how to use my PDA/GPS Smartphone. I love the way it tells me how to get home when I'm drunk. All my way points are pubs.

OMG Lynnrose what a question to ask two of my most favourite things in this world? OH what a decision I love chocolate so much but if I had to give up one oh it would have to be the chocolate I love getting funny wee texts from my friends and family if I am ever feeling down a few wee texts from friends just boosts my mood makes me laugh and I feel on top of the world again ;D I so like chocolate though you are cruel making us choose My vote is for my mobile. Also having a teenage daughter I find it so reassuring that she can text or phone if she needs you or if she is late home I can phone her to find out why instead of worrying( I am a born worrier) So my vote is for my mobile. Mikkh LOL at your dilemma;D Lynnrose be kind and let us have both.

I too hadn't had one for many years and got it when I used to cycle everywhere as I never got punctures a mile or two from home always in the middle of bl**din nowhere lol. The chocolate I can do without but like it occasionally. I had a very embarrasing incident a month back, as I'd been messing about with settings, and funnies. Well I was in the middle of the x-ray dept waiting to be called and I had my phone on silent running, and in the distance I could hear the Irish one (where it gets more abusive about ansering your phone. Very funny but not in quiet hospitals. Anyway it gets louder and louder and I'm smiling to myself thinking someone wil be embarrassed and then I realise everyone is looking at ME!!! I rushed to my pocket and switched it off but by this point it was fairly screaming out pick up your *********** phone. Somehow I don't know how but it had been put to run when it was on silent. God knows how I don't but I've stopped messing about with the settings lol. I didn't half get some filthy looks especially from the old dears waiting on the trolleys to go in. Whoops!!!!!

I used to spend most of my time moaning at my daughter being glued to her phone.....now she moans at me for the same reason, It was sort of OK until I got the internet on mine and now it's almost a part of my body...

I can't do without my phone because of my work, and I love chocolate, but if I HAD to give one up, i'd seriously think of ending it all, and leaving this earth! ;D
