Hooray for Asmo to the rescue.  G85 is the beneficiary of informed council.

I am the least IT savvy guy in the free world. It is painfully apparent that I can not find my ass with either hand when the computer is involved. That is definitely not a brag, it is a shame that I have as little facility with the magic box as a six year old. When I grow up I will get a better handle on it......maybe.
Make that a two year old. Six year olds are totally computer literate nowadays.  ;D

Saw a sub-2yo concentrating on and making purposeful looking dabs at a smartphone in Tescos. Modern "pacifier"?

Future advert:

"Baby's own tablet! Drool, pee and sick proof, fully sealed and fully washable. With cordless charger base for mains or car. Ruggedised, will withstand being thrown out of the pram onto a concrete pavement. Only £200!"

Later: might have known I was behind the wave! As here

But mine would have life access to "Babynet". (Yup, there's a "Kidnet" for slightly older rugrats!)

B-I-M-D, and I am not kidding, the competition in my first year of college (1972 at age 28) was who could slide the rule the fastest! The first shop-available, very basic, calculators were banned from exams, "Until everyone could afford one and had one."

My first one could manage square roots. Now I just read the complex sum into my smartphone, or "phablet" as it seems they are called now, and it speaks the answer back to me (so long as it has a connection to the super-duper computer in Google-land.) May it won't need that one day.

Pure bloody sci-fi not so long ago . . .

I have confirmed once again what is my kryptonite: grass/hay being cut in my general vicinity.  >:(

Couldn't go to work today because my eyes were practically swollen shut from allergies from the day before.
The day before I went around measuring buildings in an area with a lot of farms. Apparently they had a good year for growing hay because they were harvesting already.
Do you all have any idea the amount of pollen a large farm harvester can kick up?!?!

Yep. Benadryl is my Bff during hay season.

I took a hayfever tablet yesterday and they are not supposed to make you drowsy, but it did. It was almost as bad as having the swollen eyes etc. I feel sorry for those hayfever sufferers among you who have to work in the countryside.

I also suffer from hayfever. 
Could this be an atheist thing?  :eyebrow:
Anyone else suffers from this? Davin, do you?

I suffer very rarely from HF and I blame it on a neice  ;)

When she got married she splashed out on orchid buttonholes. I could not work out why my left eye itched and my nose kept running.

If I get an attack it usually involes me wanting to close my eyes, as if very tired. This got dodgy when I did a lot of motorway driving and the grasses and wild flowers were in full pollen mode - the suction from the passing cars pulled it from the verges onto the carriageway in visible vortices early in tbe morning.

Not sure if my persistent rhinitus started then but I go through two boxes of tissues, at least, a week (and loads of pocket ones) in any season now.

Sniff...

I fully symlathise with chronic sufferers!
