Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Sometimes autocorrect is a pain in the arse. Every time I tried to write gritter this morning it kept wanting to change it to critter.

That reminds me of this...Done my telephone operator bit for the day
I had an incensed old guy phone my number a few years back ...
Me: Hello?
Mad OAP: I'd like to speak to the man in charge!
Me: In charge of what?
Mad OAP: The police station, what else!
Me: You've got the wrong number!
Mad OAP: Oh no I haven't!
Me: Oh yes you have!
Mad OAP: Oh no I haven't!
Me: Well, this is getting just a wee bit silly isn't it!
Mad OAP: I demand to speak to your commanding officer!
Me: I don't work for the police, this is not a police station, you dialled the wrong number!
Mad OAP: Oh no I haven't! I dialled xxxxx yyyyyy.
Me: No you didn't, you jumbled the numbers up and dialled my number instead. You need to dial again - carefully!
Mad OAP: I demand to ...
(I hang up)
The phone rings again immediately!
Mad OAP: I'd like to speak to the man in charge!
Me: You used 'redial' didn't you!
Mad OAP: Yes, and I told you before - I'll have your badge if you don't put me through to the officer in charge!
Me: I'm sorry, sir, I don't own a badge! Would you like me to go out and buy one so you can have it?
Mad OAP: You impudent whippersnapper!
(I hang up)
The phone rings again immediately!
Me: Please stop using redial because it only redials the wrong number that you rang in the first place!
(I hang up)
The phone rings again immediately!
Me: Okay, that's enough - I'm going to stop answering the phone now!
(I hang up)
The phone rings again immediately! And rings, and rings, and rings ... for about 10 minutes. Finally, silence. Aaaaaaaah!

I had the same problem on my iPad this morning, again . Had to clear my cookies and history again.I seem to have lost the ability to reply on my phone and my emoji have disappeared as well.
This is getting to be a right PITA now . 🙁

Hello again. I thought I would let you know what happened after road testing the Honda with my son earlier this morning. He didn't like it so I think he is going to go for the Hyandai Tucson he tested a few days ago. Delivery in March if he goes for it so not too long to wait. He might even get it before I get mine and I ordered it mid November.

Another walk done. Great to be able to do the circular walk again rather than avoid the slippy side. So much nicer being able to stride out without worrying about slipping.

The good news is that if he can get hold of a wedding dress he'll get all the dates he wants in prison.

Good afternoon, world.
Well, that's been a bit of a day. Having been "pinged" as a contact of a COVID sufferer, I took a test today. Positive. Mrs Salad also tested but she's negative today. My only symptom is a snuffly nose at present.
So, I have been for a drive in PCR test and await results. Meanwhile, I am stuck watching much daytime TV.
But at least I have managed to order some more lateral flow kits.
Stay safe, everyone!

I recall a bumper sticker once that seemed tailor made for cranky oldies, not that they would be participating
on this thread...every day forces me to add to the long list of people to whom I could cheerfully say " kiss my ass".
And I have often heard flacid, droopy bosoms referred to as fried eggs. The trouble with getting old it is hard to retain much dignity if you took pride in your appearance. I don't know..perhaps it Depends.
Not very jolly this morning...we get the CatScan results from last Friday and I am very worried.
Be well and safe.
