No, it's the ads.

Sorry chaps been up the A&E all morning - what I thought was a bruised knuckle on my middle finger turned out to be a break which has started to heal incorrectly aligned ( I did it over a week ago and didn't think it was that bad ) bit late for today - do you want me to do tomorrows ?

Sounds like a plan - it's getting a bit too close to "closing time" for today's.
Hope your finger is fine - not a whole lot they can do with broken fingers, except strap it to the next one and make the whole hand useless...
And a "prod target" for everything in existence, if my experience is anything to go by :ouch:

Thanks Paul, they can't even strap it to the other fingers as it's been 10 days since I did it - the other problem is, it's started healing with the joint misaligned, next step is physio / fracture clinic and possibly surgery {groan} happy days

Last year I had the variety that has flat pods - god for salad and soup... This year I wanted the peas so looked for a kind with large pods... As I had no that kind in the local store I ordered some on the internet...
Got a bunch of large (especially that these are dry) peas - in pink... Not green or brown or black or grey, but glowing pink...

Just do what John Lennon told you, and give peas a chance ...

These?[^]
I've no idea what they are, I just found a picture on reddit. One guy there says they're Karmazyn[^] broad beans, but they don't look as bright.
If they stay that colour when cooked, they'll look cool beans on a plate.

Did they by any chance come from Chernobyl or Fukushima?

It's a convenient way to get notifications at your PC and an easy way to get access to the latest pictures you've taken with your phone too...
But the greatest feature of it is to be able to launch android calls from your PC.
That way, any phone number on the web, or inside your outlook (or phone book software) can be called without picking the phone.
SUPER!
The only problem is that if you are using bluetooth headphones to get your hands free while performing the call, it simply doesn't work, and you can't redirect the call to your headphones in any way... This happens in income calls too... therefore, unless they solve this detail, a rocking feature is simply a bad thing.

that sounds really cool. i wonder if it will let you do SMS text messaging like google's little app will?
i should probably check it out. i'm averse to phones but my hubby might get some use out of it. He's on the thing constantly.

I'm normally using WhatsApp though. No cost and it also has a windows app you can sync with the phone.

I have one because I need one: it's good for emergencies (both when I need help, and when others need help and I'm not home) and to do anything with my bank or credit cards, all of which want to send me a confirmation code in order to do anything useful.
I have to admit, it would be handy to receive the SMS via the PC so I can copy'n'paste it into the web page ...

Google has you covered for SMS via the PC, or any device with a web browser I suppose.

I just tried it ... and it won't run on my phone, it needs a higher version of Android than I have.
