Don't drink and dial

Dialing This is a brilliant idea.

The UK's Virgin mobile have introduced a service restricting the use of a cellphone while under the influence.

There are some interesting results to a survey which brought about the new service:

95% of you Dial Under the Influence – that’s a heck of a lot!

Of these calls, a whopping 30% of you make calls to your exes, 19% to current partners and 36% to anyone and everyone.

We also found that 54% of you make 1 to 3 calls a night, 35% dial under the influence more than once a week and 37% more than once a month! Now that’s enough to cause some real damage!

And finally we found that 55% of you would reach for your phone to check who you dialled last night compared to 8% who would rather kill that hangover with a Panadol! [Thanks Helen]
