Considering how nice all the nice ladies are, it didn't take them long to take up your suggestion of discussing their underwear

One I found useful - you do 'Alt+Tab' by holding down the 'Home' button. Generally the back button does what you would expect and the menu button is like a right click context sensitive menu.

We have a new commuting cyclist on our road who comes past at about 7 :15 when its still dark, and wears all dark stuff ( black and dark blue,I only know its blue because I shone my torch o. Him when dog dog ran towards him in the gloom) and only has one puny light. I feel like lying in wait with glow in the dark silly string. At about the same time a milk lorry uses this road. At some point he's probably joining a busier road with more traffic. Why the resistance to being seen?

Runners can be even worse. Black clothes are apparently de rigeur, and whereas bicycles have reflective bits (usually), runners don't. I picked up one pair trotting along side-by-side in the middle of the road only because there was a tiny bit on their trainers that reflected my car's headlights.

Cyclists, runners etc who are not also drivers have really NO idea how invisible they are to people in cars.

I've heard the phrase, "If they need to ask, you need to give."

But an email from a taxi driver you last heard from over 5 years ago? If the situations were reversed, Britain was in economic melt down you were out of work and penniless and needed money for your family, how far down your list of possible helpers would this guy be?

I think a tour guide is rather more than a taxi driver, and the situation in Syria is rather more than economic melt down. And naturally, someone from a rich country like here would be a lot higher up the Syrian guy's list of people to ask than a Syrian tour guide would be to a Brit.

This photo taking lark's a piece of p155..... touch, click. Easier than a formal camera, in a bag, with a lens cover ..... just got to work out how to get photos from here to somewhere online.

Not sure what/where the menu button is yet..... I am pressing home most of the time... then dragging my fingers across the screen and poking things at random until I discover something..... which isn't a lot yet.

Ok, I'm still on tree decorations.....stars or angels on top?

I think angels are 'nicer' but stars are more aesthetic. Here we have a star....tis the perfect compromise between his ancestors and mine

We had a star when I was growing up. I think both are "nice" and stars definitely more aesthetic... but am stuck with a very woebegone and bedraggled cardboard angel made by DS when he was at nursery.

Just what I was wondering. lir, what is the reference to book of numbers to which you refer ... the only one I can find is numbers 24:17.

I see your 10 days for 1 day's leave and raise you three weeks for... well, I don't get annual leave, so it's hard to say.

I use ES file explorer app to move files onto my PC although no doubt it can also be done using the USB cable and bundled phone software (which should self install).

Back and menu buttons should be either side of home button - press and hold home button is like Alt-tab.

Well, yes.

Many a theory has arisen from that. ( In an almost dan brown style some of them are ludicrous some a little more studious, some theological ( both religions hence my associations drawn) and some conspiratorial) Its almost bound to have its own Wikipedia entry I bet. I like the fact its relevant to both DH and I theologically and also.......off the wall associations too. .


Edit....it does have its own wiki entry,


Hmmm, in a really odd turn of events the link shows in my text when I am editing but not in my post...how weird is that?
