Not only do I not have a mobile phone, I havent got a computer. I dont — John Cooper Clarke

"Not only do I not have a mobile phone, I havent got a computer. I dont employ any artificial intelligence of any kind. People say to me, "Oh, you should have a computer, they can do this...." I say "Look, I know how fuckin great they are. Thats why, thats the very reason I cant have one." You know Ill just watch a bit of Dion and the Belmonts, then Ill go out...oh, no, what was that Elvis film....oh that reminds me, that Grace Kelly movie...Ill just download this Marx Brothers clip. You know what I mean, Id never get out of the fuckin house. Id fuckin die. Youd find me dead with a pizza box with mi arse in the air and mi pants round mi ankles in front of a flickerin fuckin computer screen. He never went out when we bought him that computer, he never went out again, he never went through the fuckin door. The milk stopped being delivered and he fuckin died."
