    Yes! You'd have been like a drop of penicillin in a Petrie dish of bacteria! :rotfl:

    Seriously, though, I'm always trying to find where a call has come from, with a number I don't recognise. It'd be useful to just know!

    You need an iphone - it tells you the area of the dialling code, for numbers not in your contacts list.

    and that in turn led to the letters used for texting on the first mobile phones and the very beginning of predictive texts.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    My mobile's still got them!
    Drives me mad when I'm texting in a hurry!

    (NB.my mobile wasn't one of the very first ones. That 1993 Ericsson brick (not Sony Ericsson :D) is up in the loft. But it is a few years old! :rotfl:)

    No running commentary thread this year, as my time has been devoted to other projects in the last few weeks.

    I just saw a couple of minutes. Russia - stunning visuals, but a so-so song. Followed by Czech Republic - a stunning girl dressed up in a sack and singing a song that made me switch channel.

    On that basis, UK would have to be p155 poor not to make the top 10. I'm hoping!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
