Sorry James.

You wont believe this, but my phone charger died last night & the phone is dead. And I have left my charger at work, ugh.

I'll try & buy a charger when I get up to London this morning, find somewhere to charge the phone, & ring you. I'm at The Shard for a 10am view, then I need to go to Covent Garden to visit the Apple Shop, so about midday, hopefully.

What phone do you have tikay?  You are aware that you can buy additional chargers, off amazon or ebay, for about £3?  Then you can leave one at the office, one at home, one in your car (even get one that has different adaptors for plug sockets or the cigarette ligther in your car), and one to leave at each of your lady friends' houses

That way you'll always be able to charge your phone.

I have a landline, but I have no idea how or if it works. Been here over a year now, & it has never been used once. Hopefully it never wiil, landlines are for old fogeys.

Anyway, how would I know his number?!

Hope all is well out there in those far-flung parts, Boo.

Here's a FUN QUIZ for those who are good with words, composed & run by our very own Spurs Bloke.

Thank you. You have until Sunday night to get the answers in and it's a word game so easy a child can play it.

By way of reciprocation, here's something for you, sir (once you've entered).

I know you like photographic close up objects. How about stuff further afield without leaving the ippy?

http://www.itelescope.net/

It is a resource of Australian astronomers, who collate a lot of telescopes and pool their views together. You get to see what they see and explore the visible universe, take photos, even discover new stars. There is so much universe, the odds are still there that you might find something new.



You might recognise the name of the chap who took this photo of the Dumbbell Nebula. About 10,000 years old and 1,350 light years away (so the image is about 1,350 years old), it was the first planetary nebula ever discovered (1764 - older than the USA) and the central star is about half the mass of the sun.

The nebula is two light years across. If we stood at either end and you waved at me, I wouldn't see you waving for two years.

The red you see is nitrogen and the green oxygen.

Also, sorry if you hate this stuff!!

I had James Atkin three to my left all day, & he was a perfect pleasure to share the Table with.

I knew he would major on me, he knows I'm weak passive, & he had position, so I tried to stand up to him, we played scores of pots together, & did OK for a while, & honours pretty even.

...

He's a smashing lad, a credit to poker.

Bit late catching up...

Nice of you to say Tikay   Enjoyed your company/playing with you. You're definitely not weak passive haha (or should I have kept that 1 quiet )

Shush!

Gotta protect my image.

Thank you James, it was tremendous fun, but you mostly owned me pretty good.

Just made me think of that attempted hero call I made on you. (4 club board, not a club between us). More like a dumbschmuck call.
