Behodar:

Just went to use the hose and found that someone's absconded with the connector that lets you plug the hose into the tap.

Sorry that was me, which brings me to:

Gardena style connectors that are missing the o-ring so piddle out water all over you.

Apple iMessage treating +642xxx numbers differently to the 02xxx number stored in my Contacts

I thought something associated with that was happening to me too - but couldn’t work out what it was. I’m interested to know what/how etc this affected you.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I've replaced most of the male fittings with Holman, same style but with 2 o rings. Rarely gets any leaks.

Was yours brass or plastic? Happened to me once upon a time. I can only assume people nick the brass ones and sell them for scrap to unscrupulous dealers.

If yours was plastic, I can only wonder if someone stole it to be a dick.

I think it was plastic. The "someone" in question is almost certainly my dad, who probably disconnected it to use the water blaster and then just left it lying around somewhere.

When I get this as a support call the following usually help:

Turn the phone off n on again. With the reliability of modern operating systems we forget that this is sometimes useful.
Check that you don't have Contacts disabled in mobile data
Check that you actually have internet connectivity on both mobile data and wifi.
Remove the email account that the contact is saved against (iCloud/Exchange/Gmail/other), accept any prompts to remove contacts, make sure the contact drops with it then re-add the account

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

The fact that some cafes are now eateries. "Lets go to the eatery, with a brief stop at the makecargoery to fill up, and we'll swing by the paintery on the way back so I can grab some stuff to finish the deck".

Cafe implies some competence with making coffee.

In iMessage, I could not see a name listed that I was looking for; only the +642xxx number. I knew the contact was in my address book, so I went & had a look at the client. It had the mobile # listed 02xxx

Simply editing the contact & adding the +64 to the mobile # fixed the display in iMessage & I could see the name listed that I was looking for.

Ah yes, that too. Usually this complaint comes with a bunch of other contacts with the same fault.

Yes. I have a site with a couple of hundred pages and some aren't to be available for search. Google Search Console helpfully says it's an "issue".

It may be for them. It's not for me.

Well, it seems that the sleight of hand is complaining to you that you don't allow him to use his tricks. 😄

Sky Sports, you idiots. Showing the same LPGA feed on two channels 6 & 9 while cutting off coverage of an absolutely sensational finish to the PGA Fedex Cup final with the leaders at the 12th hole.

I didn't watch this morning but I saw that they were showing two feeds of the LPGA yesterday for some reason.
