Latest 'Pete Townsend excuse' now , my phone was in my pocket and I didn't know it was tweeting

 

[Seagull58]

Did Townsend ever finish writing his book?

My phone vibrates in my pocket from time to time. Sometimes even when it's receiving a call.

Edit: Lescott's a jerk.

 

[brightn'ove]

It does nothing because it is locked.

 

[Munkfish]

I often get a phantom vibration in my pocket, I don't even have my phone on vibrate.

The worst thing I have done is pocket called a girlfriend whilst out on a night out with mates.

See Sky Sports thread ... never have, never will

0 to 6 in 90 mins was an excellent retort.
I see he's now issued a snivelling apology.

Now that it requires a pin or pattern to unlock it my phone is generally very well behaved in my pocket.

Older versions did a number of odd things, errant text messages, phone calls and in one happy instance, changing the language somehow (old school Nokia).
That was baffling.

Surely just standing up and admitting it was done on purpose and taking the flak would be better than using a completely unbelievable tale? Christ, if you're going to blame something else for your stupidity at least go for the 'hackers' excuse.

 

[Easy 10]

What an absolute plum. How THICK do you have to be to come out with that.

Still doing the research!

 

[Albumen]

It's amazing how a car seat or handle can press about 5 buttons, including choosing a photo, and tweet it. He should be put on the bench and banned from driving.

 

[Triggaaar]

What a pathetic, lame and insulting excuse.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I once phoned 999 from my pocket. But that was back in the days of proper keys and no 'automatic' phone lock. In fact thinking about it, 999 overrides any lock that is in place, I believe...

Agree he's been a bit of a prick here but it is plausible easily that he had queued up the photo thought twice about tweeting it, didn't lock his phone, sat in the car seat and it got sent.

Ockham's razor in action or just a big fat stinking lie.

An apology. As though anyone will believe him or accept it.

I'm still wondering how I can get GOSBTS ringtone on my Nokia.

 

[Cian]

I managed to pocket-add someone as a friend on Facebook who I don't think I actually knew at all. They accepted, which was odder.

Back in the Nokia 3210 days I called the police a few times by accident. On my work blackberry I have emailed the CFO just a load of random letters.. Unfortunately I don't have a 125k car to tweet about even by accident.

Could this be Adam Johnson's whole defence!? Has Lescott stolen his defence team's opening gambit!?
