Either

Following a little research it transpires that the OED in 2004 (a little newer than my version) decided that the past tense of the verb 'text' would more likely be 'texted' although 'tex'd' may also be acceptable. I think that the latter sounds better.

Texies?!?!

I will admit to being a bit pedantic. However, has anyone else noticed the mispronounciation of the plural of the word 'text' by television and radio presenters recently. Instead of requesting those stupid enough to pay £1.50 a go to send in their texts the word is inevitably pronounced 'texies'. However, when referring to an idiot with more money than sense who has already sent in a text message the presenter will say that he has 'texted'. This word has only recently become a verb with the advent of mobile telephones thus the dictionary is unclear as to whether 'texted' is the correct pronounciation or maybe the word 'text' would also be suitable for use in the past and present tense. Anyone any ideas? Don't bother texting!

Oh Dear - I've resorted to Irish jokes!

Three Irishmen, Paddy, Sean and Shamus, were stumbling home from the pub late one night and found themselves on the road which led past the old graveyard.

"Come have a look over here," says Paddy, "it's Michael O'Grady's grave, God bless his soul. He lived to the ripe old age of 87."

"That's nothing", says Sean, "here's one named Patrick O'Tool, it says here that he was 95 when he died."

Just then, Shamus yells out, "Good God, here's a fella that got to be 145 years old!" "What was his name?" asks Paddy.

Shamus stumbles around a bit, awkwardly lights a match to see what else is written on the stone marker, and exclaims, "Miles, from Dublin."

The future Richard Branson maybe?
