Old mobiles are like bricks
Tim is sending a message on his phone...
Ali: Magda, you really need to get a new phone - that one's like a brick!
Tim: What's wrong with it? It still works ...
Ali: Yeah, but, I mean, just look at it ...

Ali: Not even for Christmas?
Tim: As they say, I've already got one functioning mobile, and the money a new one would cost could be used to buy something more useful ....
