SMS's I've Saved On My Phone
Following are the SMS messages I've saved on my mobile phone for various reasons. Note: I've kept the spelling and formatting exactly as typed in the SMS except for the bolding.2002-11-04:

Is anyone else willing to share their SMS's?

You broke so many hearts in Mersin, I wonder how all those girlies are going to get over their heartthrob of an Aussie.
Did you go to Canakkale for Anzac?

I still have one on my phone: "Cheating bloody Italians". I'm sure you can guess why that one was sent to me.

Couldn't you disguise the SMS's slightly and then publish them (or, even better, send them to me anonymously so I can publish them ;-)?
No, I didn't go to Canakkale for ANZAC Day. I did go to Gallipoli afew years ago but I don't have any desire to share that beautiful and haunting peninsula with thousands of drunks.
Dragos,
I'm sure you would have also broken a few hearts if you visited the schools here.
Oz,
Was that because you got ripped off at the pizza place? ;-)
