We have this point of sale system running in a little bar and grill place in the middle of nowhere. Every night at just about 8:00PM they would loose the ability to run credit cards. After a couple of months of being thoroughly confused, the guy working on it asked, "What happens at 8:00?"

"Well, that's when we turn on the neon sign out front." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

After a small remodelling job, somebody ran the phone line the credit card modem was on ACROSS THE SIGN'S TRANSFORMER.

This is going to sound kinda weird, but I keep my phone in an ankle holster. Sure fools the pickpockets, also distances it from vital areas, that I really don't want irradiating.

trust me, the cel phones today are very harmless, most of the signal strength comes from the twoer now, so the phone mainly acts like a walkman (and noone ever got paranoid about those frying somehting!).. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

OK, so I'm just tetchy about what I put next to my brain and my bollocks, I don't want kids at the minute, but I'd rather not rule anything out.

The holster? I made it, like the matching one on my other ankle that holds my knife (yes, I can sew).

Other ankle, like I do my knife.

<hr /></blockquote>The small of your back, tucked into the waistband / under the belt of your trousers, like everyone else. The chances of you shooting yourself in the *** are very small, and that's infinitely preferable to tucking it in the front. Even with the safeties on, the nose of a firearm poking you in the tabs is none too pleasant.
