"on way from gym. costa 3pm?"

"I'm at home this weekend so I'll keep an eye on it"

"fish and chips or have we got food?"

"do you need me to play anything specific on 'harmony'?"

A selection of messages from the in- and outboxes on my phone. This is 
pretty high-security stuff, as you can see! Now, I'm as concerned about 
government access to personal data as anyone else, but I'm not sure that

important place to start ;-)
