I had low grade similar, where, 'click to see google map' just showed, erm, google maps. With no location marked.
You expect crap like that from The Self Centre for Yoga though.

Maybe you are meant to look deep inside yourself for the map, though...

What is even better is that the NHS UK site does not list any drop-in centres for Scotland.

Obviously Scotland has already left the UK. I wonder if Alex Salmond knows?

If I were a cynic, I'd say that being Apple devices was the fault.

Oh, wait ...

(I do understand the frustration though, having experienced it first hand after my Nexus 7 had an argument with a bottle of shower gel. The Nexus lost, as did my bank balance.)

David has just messaged that he seems to have lost his iPhone.
I'm not convinced it's truly lost yet and there's no evidence anyone else has used it.
It was a 3rd hand Xmas gift. I don't think he noted the IMEI number and he did not have the original box or paperwork.
He won't be home for a while yet.

Some networks will let you see the IMEI of at least the last phone you've used if you've got an online account. Well, O2 contract phones let you do this anyway.

One of the posts here says - apparently authoritatively - that Vodafone customer service people can block the IMEI of the last phone used on a PAYG account. (Or they could in 2010 anyway.)

Do you have an iPhone, Helly? If so, you could have used Find My Phone to locate his. I had to do that recently when I'd had lunch with my Dad and he dropped me off at home. 10 minutes later I realised I hadn't got my phone. Checking FMP on my iPad, I could see my phone travelling through Halstead and eventually arriving in Bocking. A quick call to my Dad and the phone was retrieved from under the passenger seat.

I don't have an iPhone. David does.
I'll investigate FMP for him.

Took the Aged P to St George's Whore's Piddle to have his pacemaker checked . We went by car. The car park was very crowded, so I booted him out and orbited the car park, along with a pack of other prowling cars, looking for a space.  On my fifth lap I spy a space, a car waiting nearby and the driver of the car in the adjacent space getting ready to leave. Excellent, one space for the waiting car, one for me.

But no, the waiting car is the a Wankpanzer Extreme Porsche Cayenne and takes up both spaces.

Reader, I shot him.

Well done. But I hope you made him watch his Wankpanzer being crushed first.

The sun is a-shining to welcome the day, and it's heigh-ho, back to the grind.

In the words of that traditional English anthem:

Every f**king morning
Half-past f**king eight
Meet the f**king foreman at the f**king factory gate
Be you f**king early
Be you f**king late
You'll be down in the sewers in the morning.

PS: pardon the asterisks, I also posted this where tender souls abide and I can't be arsed changing them back.

Pah, went straight from work to Didcot to collect step son from the train. He missed his train due to flooding delaying him getting to the station, and the following train was cancelled so I have an hour's wait- in Didcot...
