No problem, here's a link to his page on The Guardian! www.theguardian.com/profile/davidmitchell I recommend following him on Twitter, his Articles goes up there and sometimes other nice little bits of infromation. :)

ppeter1982 You would probably hate me, as I recite phone numbers in what probably seem like arbitrary patterns. This is because I recite as I remember, and I remember phone by rhythms (those these don't necessarily make sense). My own number (mobile), for example, I usually say 5-2-4, though I'll break it down further sometimes.
people used to use it to send videos and songs to each other it was pretty good tbh but with the advent of smart phones and digital copyright laws prohibiting such sharing, yes, I suppose it is pointless now.
Cloud storage, technically. Though without any internet connection, I imagine bluetooth is the best wireless way. MicroSD cards being the best physical way, obviously, though some phones don't have a slot for them (looking at you, Apple, and your shitty iPhones).
Yes, I tought of that. That solution has it own problems though. I can't understand why developers still have this 'our own way' attitude. I thought they finally woulcd understand using universal protocols would be a win-win but seems like fierce capitalist competition doesn't make everything better after all...
I would say, "I know you are but what I am I?", I feel that'd just encourage your behaviour though. It's not fun so much as painful knowing we're related. Whatever gives you a sense of purpose in life, I'm only here to help. Sex.
Human race . . . I find it strange that needs explaining to a human . . . You find joy in acting like an idiot but I'm weird? =/ Someone needs to look at themselves.
How times have changed. Look at these cavemen not understanding technology and digital communication. Now in future times we all use it like it was second nature. muahahaha
He's a man, like me, who's well aware of a) his attractiveness, or lack thereof, towards any woman who isn't incredibly damaged and emotionally vulnerable and b) how little leg-work he wants to apply in order to get his leg over.
This sketch was made long before NFC was a thing. People really press their phones against eachother, bevause bluetooth back then really was amazingly shit.
and also, before bluetooth we used infrared. Infrared works similarly like NFC, so that's why he's putting the phone close together like that too since they used to do that with infrared.
i haven't used Bluetooth in about 4 years because it DOENS'T WORK! i had a phone once with both Bluetooth and infrared and i found infrared faster and easier and it worked 90% of the time, only time it didn't work was when we didn't hold them together in the right way (infrared had to be connected phone to phone for anyone who doesn't know) and guess which one died out almost immediately. I used Bluetooth for the first time on Tuesday with my 2012 phone and it STILL doesn't work
Be careful guys, don't click on the (Show the comment) button! You'll get lost in a conversation that I think is about 'whom' vs 'who' and also something about relationships...
Now that we've all got smart phones it is even more pointless! Everything is done over the web now. I don't think I've used it once on my newest phone.

You know David wrote this sketch.
Oh yeah, you can definitely tell who wrote the sketches on their own. Anyone know what these guys are up to these days?
Webb I dunno, Mitchell does his radio show "The Unbelieveable Truth" and writes articles, while also doing tv-shows.^^

Bluetooth and IR were so amazingly shit.
+boiledelephant were?
+C G0R3Z Yes, were.
People still use them.
+boiledelephant well it was good when it was the only way to fileshare with a mobile
+boiledelephant Bluetooth works, the first IR for mobile was the most shitty experience of my life...
250 likes? I'm afraid that's NOT Numberwang!
Looks like the most laidback workplace in the world.
Back when just tossing a phone on the table like that didn't really worry anyone.
It's like if peepshow was more camp and filmed infront of a live audience

Your in the Mitchell and Webb section of youtube and may never leave
Your typo is almost a decade old. How does that make you feel?
Webb is an amazing comic actor...

Everyone seems to be getting Kerry's name wrong.

Right back at you broski.
Telephones used to have numbers assigned to them.
I use stereo bluetooth headphones when I listen to my music on my phone, but for some reason, corded headphones is still far more popular in general.
I have this exact arguement with my friend when they won't read out the code to the among us room code
Genius
The wigs!
very good!
I take an instant dislike to anyone who doesn't read out their number in either 5-3-3 or 2-3-3-3 format. I suspect David Mitchell is the same.
donepearce My phone numbers are 5-6 and I live in Shropshire. Not wanting to give too much away the area code is 01952.

What about using double or triple? Eg I’d say “oh double seven double oh nine triple oh five six”
I use prime number format
Android Beam uses Bluetooth after establishing a connection over NFC. It's not quite dead yet.
Nought thousand. 0000?
Anybody tried calling this number?
Or she has the same hair as Princess Leia and looks like the Pastry? Or she likes said pastry and is renown for consuming it.

but with the advent of smart phones and digital copyright laws prohibiting such sharing, yes, I suppose it is pointless now.
So what is the new hip way to transfer files phone2phone? I don't think there is any better than bluetooth. Maybe a memory card?
Cloud storage, technically. Though without any internet connection, I imagine bluetooth is the best wireless way.

Well, first off, their phones probably aren't paired.....and text would be simpler.
Completely missing the point, and everyone knows this anyway
hilarious!
So, is Caravaggio (I’m assuming he artist) famous for womanizing?

***** Just like bronze. Bronze is your friend. Bronze is user-friendly, exciting, zietgiesty and most importantly of all: it's slightly shiny!
I like how David the Luddite is the only one of the two that has a PC on his desk.
I can't believe I never noticed how he asks for the number of 'sad Kerry' rather than the one he calls 'gorgeous'.
how could you not it's said 3 times
Actually he asked for rebound carrey
Presumably because he's on the rebound from gorgeous Kerry.
He's a man, like me, who's well aware of a) his attractiveness, or lack thereof, towards any woman who isn't incredibly damaged and emotionally vulnerable and b) how little leg-work he wants to apply in order to get his leg over.
"Fine. I'm turning on blue tooth. I want to die" lol This happens to me frequently
I recall when the Sony Ericsson was all the rage and people just mashed their phones together like this when Bluetooth was first on phones
Fun Fact:
That number is still in use to this day.
ooops
Is Carry still up to it though? That's the important question aahaha :P
i love the lines
"you mean casanova"
"oh, so you really do fancy your chances"
AnarchistMetalhead saaame I feel like it didn't really land which is a shame

Definitely Colin. But then I'm more of a Ray myself, so I'm biased.

"cheeper than texting" back in the day
Bluetooth is useful for transferring MP3's between phones that haven't had 90% of features removed to please invested interests...
Bluetooth. That thing that never works...
This one so outdated now
fr they should have made it about post pandemic phones
did he just say 'nought thousand'?
omfg LOL
They predicted the 20's
Anyone know any other Colin/Ray sketches hidden away in episodes? I think ive seen them all!
Danish is also a pastry. So it could be that she's danish, has danish ancestors(which is more likely than not) or works in a cafeteria selling danish.
A phone number.. What are you from??
The stone age? Use infrared... 🙃
Bluetooth is actually so useful.
Good for sharing porn vids back in the day

No one's saying it's useless. It's just shit at what it's meant to do
Sharing polyphonic ringtones
Critic115 It's more reliable that over wi-fi I find, but slower and more fiddly
I was still using bluetooth in 2008...
Better than anything on the telly now
And now most people have Bluetooth on constantly. I do like how Brits tend to want to shorten everything.
will you just read out the friggin number xD
I want one of those old LCD monitors.
He looks like Richard Branson...
Yep... pretty much all BT before 2 years ago. Sadly, he's confusing it with NFC (which usually does work).

Well you had the wrong information (In his head) and this is a open forum, if you haven't noticed :P..
Come one guys. Bluetooth is still used heaps, it is the main thing that wireless mice and keyboards use.
