Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 I don't think so somehow: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/2995518.stm
Guest Vector Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Well they're Welsh, what do you expect :lol: oh, just realised, i live in swansea :roll: :D
Guest Simon Desser Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 :lol: That's such a load of bo**ocks :!: I can just imagine the consultant saying "Why didn't I get Mr Jones' X-ray?" "Oh 'cos you're on Vodafone and I'm on Orange, and although cross network MMS is supposed to work it doesn't most of the time :x " "Oh and also GPRS is down in Wales at the moment, so I'm afraid Mr Jones will just have to wait till Orange ring me back in a couple of days :roll: " "Oh, and I almost forgot, I'm not even allowed to turn my mobile phone on in hospital :!: :!: :!: "
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Exactly. Anyone fancy emailing BBC News website and asking those questions? :lol:
Guest squall Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 It might actually work! I was thinking about it and the biggest problem with taking datailed photos is the light level. with the light board there that problems gone. you could get close to the problem point and snap away... oh sorry i didnt notice it was a nokia he was holding, in that case it defently wouldnt work! :lol:
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted June 17, 2003 Report Posted June 17, 2003 Mwhahahahahhaaaaa! Why not just scan/email the xrays?! You'll get a decent image that way!
Guest nobznss Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 That's got to be the scariest thing I've ever heard! Man, I want a doctor to be checking out my stuff in person so he can see it in a little better detail than 640 X 480. Anyone agree?
Guest Vector Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 LOL, it was on the national news of Wales :lol: but i couldn't be bothered to watch it :D
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Heh...and yes, if the consultant really can't be there a high-resolution scan e-mailed to him would be a lot more accurate. Scary really.
Guest madu Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 This is such a load of bull - the important thing that we tend to overlook is that the majority of the population would in fact believe in this cr*p! 8)
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Good promo to an out of date handset though :lol: I saw some of it on the news last night, maybe one day but not quite yet.
Guest midnight Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 also, arent they supposed to have mobi's or at least the radio turned off in hospital so it doesnt affect equipment? rather wreckless if you ask me, sackable offence
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 I was thinking that as well :? Perhaps they turn the radio off (if it's possible on the brick) take the photo then run half a mile up the road to send it? :lol:
Guest TANKERx Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Actually, the Messaging functionality and organisational abilities offered by Nokia Series60 makes it quite a good device for this kind of thing - tho' I agree that the resolution won't be the best for situations where detail is of great importance. Maybe for cases where someone's arm has been pulled off by a rampaging sheep and the remote doctor needs an approximate idea of where the arm has been severed? Maybe having someone taking a picture in the hospital wasn't such a good idea since I'd expect photos to be taken 'in the field' and received 'in the doctor's office' - of course, the 7650 can natively send photo attachments in e-mails, so MMS isn't really necessary, so that's a big plus. And coverage in Wales isn't that bad! Come on! :-) Hey, Davidrm! Pleased to meet you! I'm in Cwmtwrch!
Guest Vector Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Actually, the Messaging Hey, Davidrm! Pleased to meet you! I'm in Cwmtwrch! Cwn where ? :lol: never heard of there before, where is it in comparison to Swansea ? :roll:
Guest TANKERx Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 It's 15 miles north of Swansea, past Morriston toward Brecon (it's actually near Ystradgynlais and Ystalyfera) - you must have heard of them!? ;-) We're all baaa-rmy wollybacks up here!
Guest Vector Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 oh, not that far then, i've heard of ystalyfera and ystragynlais, ever heard of Pontlliw ?
Guest TANKERx Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Yes! A very nice restaurant up that there way, but I can't remember its name.
Guest Vector Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Glamorgan arms, The Buck, The old inn ? just to name a few :lol:
Guest siu99spj Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 ystalyfera and ystragynlais, ever heard of Pontlliw ? Looks like someone has just choked! But seriosuly, where the hell did the Welsh get the crazy idea that anybody could pronounce these places without sounding as though they were choking on a bone or something! And before you all go mad, I am at least half Welsh AND I can pronounce (choke-on/whatever you need to do to speak Welsh) Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch if needed. :shock:
Guest Rob.P Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Or as it is referred to by the average joe who can't prenouce welsh Lanfair-pg :lol:
Guest nickcornaglia Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Apparently vowels are are in short supply there in Whales, eh?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch if needed. :shock: Nice to see you gave the link with the meaning to the word :D A friend of mine had a record that someone released, it was a song on how to pronounce it :lol: The worse bit was that the B side was a song about Anglesey :shock:
