I know I know I keep mentioning the recession, but it has really hit us hard here at me'Uncle Island especially since we had a wee fire at the money factory, to cut a long story short ol' Paddy me'Uncle fell asleep reading the paper while smoking his pipe and before you could say "bugger me days" the factory was ablaze even Fireman George me'Uncle was unable to divert the disaster and now we are stuck trying to use the old #5 wire and 4x2 plank's to survive.
But thankfully Skype me'Uncle came up with this clever idea of VoIP. In a nutshell we can now make free calls to all me'Uncle rellies in New Plymouth, Wellington, Singapore and Ireland all for the grand price of zilch, finally life is looking up. I have been able to indulge in three way conversations with the me'Uncles' in NP and Singapore at the same time which is really really cool. We are even able to instant message while talking and seeing each other on the screen.
Admittedly there can be problems with the calls being dropped mid conversation, and the sound time delay but for the price of zilch we are willing to put up with these minor inconveniences.
And there are ways to keep your details private so as to minimise cold calls from strangers, so yeah we me'uncles are skype fans.
straight up from Luza's mouth as always
