I have seen a "interactive cat toy", it's kind of two wavey arms that point laser points on the floor, or anywhere? and entertain your cat/s. DID NOT look into purchase!
Bad enough I brought Pink, [ungrateful little sod.] a water fountain with filters!

Still no bike....... Brought a lottery ticket for tonight. £175 million + Worth a punt I feel. More likely to be struck by lightening, I know. But if a thunderstorm comes along I'll improve my odds by getting my kite out which is flown using carbon fibre string!

The car, I may or not have bumped last week, owners have put in a claim. Seen the photo's. Since there isn't a mark on the van just how did I do so much damage to her car? As in, plastic thing is hanging off and broken?

I had the same must be 15 years ago now, I was reversing the van into a parking spot very very slowly as there was children nearby, a car deliberately drove behind me, my bumper touched his out turned turned tyre. When I got out he was shouting & told me to look at the damage on his car, the wing, both doors & the rear wing were crushed in. I told him where to go, but he put in a claim & as I was reversing I was found at fault. When the paperwork came through he was claiming whiplash & there was a doctors report 2 days prior to the accident where he'd been involved in exactly the same accident, he got £5.5K from the claim, I always wondered how many others he'd conned.

It being the radio or Paul McCartney?

I meant the radio but on reflection, is it fair to smash the radio as it is only a dumb piece of equipment that broadcasts what it receives? Maybe it would be better to hit Paul...or the DJ who really should get a decent playlist...

I think it probably is

Still, grey and mild here chez Casa Reynard.

Not the best night's sleep. Had to get up and remove one of the fleece throws on the bed I'd chucked on last week as I was too hot. Then I couldn't get back to sleep as I had plot bunnies running through my head.

Anyways, I've peeled potatoes for later, rustled up packaging (read cat food boxes) for the few gifts I have to send out, put on a load of laundry.

After lunch, cards and paperwork await.

You see little/no harm in the laser pointer then?

Well, my cats ignore it, so there's no point.

It's raining here.

Paperwork mostly done.

Time to make some Lebkuchen

There are lots of clever people on this thread. Is anyone clever enough to find out the solution to this problem?

My N5L Nuu phone has, for some reason, decided to just put Chinese symbols on the screen. One screen shows about 30 lines of "text", almost all in characters except for WiFi, SIM, Wave, GPS, LCM, eMMC, Micbias.

Please note that I have tried the "switch it off, and switch it back on again" strategy but it does not switch off (by press and hold the long "button").

I should add that because of the lock down, and not going anywhere, I have not made any phone calls recently. It is pay as you go, and if they (EE) ?thought it had been stolen/mislaid, the message would be in English. My Mother once managed to change her phone to Norwegian, but eventually I got it back to English. @ColinJ might be able to help.

A box of virtual mince pies for whoever manages to unlock this dilemma.

Aren't they dangerous if they shine into a cat's eyes? Dangerous or lethal?

Well, a laser, no matter how small or low-powered, is dangerous no matter whose eyes you shine them in. That's why Plod gets so cross when people shine them at helicopters or planes.

Is there a cog like symbol on there?

I seem to recall that EE (other providers are available) can change some settings with a text message. It might be worth giving them a call. At least, they should be able to tell you how to change it.
