BIOLOGISTS!
What did I see on Saturday night in Portugal? It lived in the harbour, and the locals called them "sea devils". I couldn't see very well because it was dusk, but they swam like sting rays, making slow flapping motions through the water. They were black and about 5 inches long with "wings" either side of a torpedo-shaped body.

I think they might have been molluscs like sea slugs. Wiki says "sea butterfly" but I'm not convinced. Any other ideas?

If you are not a marine biologist, what's been your favourite military coup of recent history?

It was really funny. Loads of lads were there, mock horning and 'WAAYHEEEY'ing before they turned up, we didn't even realise what was going on.

They finally turned up and loads of guys just downed their pints and left.

It was a trip.
You were on LSD.

My favourite Coup was when the Japanese took over the English Government, made us all speak Japanese, then erased our memory of the event. All the Japanese had to learn English which they now call Japanese so we didn't find out.

Probably a cr3 also known as a Mauve stinger
They can cause terrible problems.

I don't have a favourite
I would like to know a good mobile phone that isn't complicated to use and doesn't have lots of ridiculously fancy things on it. We need a new one for our on-call phone as ours is dead. Apparently no such thing exists anymore.

there's also a new one out recently
that has big buttons and can't even send texts (although it can receive them). It's quite well built and designed for old people. Can't remember the name of it.

I had that phone too. Lasted ages unlike the crap I have now.

they've realised it's not so hard to convince most people to get a new phone every year,
so there's not much point in making them last any longer than that.

True
But I would like a phone that will last the length of my contract without having a fit.

Why?
And there's plenty of phones which do what you want, usually aimed at business customers. Nokia does loads.

I looked up the wrong number
I don't want a business phone though, I don't care about email, music or internet. I don't even care about text messaging, I just want a phone that rings.
