Craig, Zman's offering good advice. A reset should work but back up your important data for sure. A chunky usb or external drive, cloud, . I just bought a Black Friday 10.4" Samsung Android tablet. 128gb storage + 128gb sd card and 4 gb memory/ram. Lovely, but for many of our new toys the...

No, that's not it Craig. Good try. I feel like I recognise your pic but there were many pubs in my town. I searched for a hard copy pic I know I have somewhere but couldn't find it. Here's a few poor pictures of it I found on line. It's be over 400 years old now had it not been demolished 2...

What do you think of the new tunnel under the river from Rozelle Craig? My brother who lives in Rozelle says it's a disaster funnelling 4 lanes into two causing huge traffic congestion. 😒 Decades ago my brother had a home in Balmain where I could just see the Opera house from the skylight in...

A story?

Australia's Reserve Bank Govenor Michele Bullock has been doing a fine job managing our inflation, I feel, even though its rate of decrease seems slow compared to other like nations. I think Bullock is strong also explaining the numbers of underlying real inflation given benign assistances to...

My local discussion group's next topic is about "Leadership". Our convener is a German lady Psychologist whose motorbike is a big tourer. My very elderly mate going too was born an East German. I'll definitely mention Angela Merkel as an excellent leader. Then, on the flip side, I'll mention...

Calligraphy items from chisels on clay tablets to fine nibbed fountain pens? Another dying art. Printing Press? (now a photocopier?) Typewriter? Wild guess, something to do with Braille writing?🤔? Keep firing away Zman, we're getting there. 👍

I was a mad climber as a lad Craig. Rooftops, girders on big Gas tanks, stealing lead for fishing weights, ... Later in my late teens I was always having accidents on my first motorbikes, falling off at speed, playing Cowboys and Indians with mates I hit a median strip and tumbled with bike...

A newspaper?

Is it used to produce furniture? Is it a generic type of simple engineering like a lathe? What sort of modern materials is it made of nowadays? Does it need human or electrical power to operate? I confess earlier on I was thinking of a weaving device. 🤔

I hate days like that Craig, when everything goes wrong. I think it was Van Morrison who sang "..there'll be days like this." How true and one catastrophe seems to encourage others to happen.

Yes it seemed to Craig. I talked my head off for years teaching and love discussion groups.

Hi Thomas, is your item used in the production of other items? Is it used to produce fabric materials? Was it mainly used by women or males? Did it take a lot of time, effort and cost to make this item?

I'm not sure if I was an undiagnosed ADHD/OCD sort of kid Craig but looking back I wonder how I survived after so many mishaps and blunders. I reckon I had a hard working guardian angel.🧚‍♀️ I'm more laid back nowadays, most of the time. 🙄

Jessica or Thomas, have a go. 🙂

I did lean backwards Jessica. It was a bit scary as a boy. 😬 I couldn't stop talking about it afterwards! 😉

I did at the time Craig but after forty I couldn't give a hoot. Often I went with a no.2 close crop but now let it grow longer. The hair gel I use bulks it out, dries nicely and holds well. It's ironic I grew hair prolificly everywhere else. I once sported a huge black beard Ned Kelly would have...

I started going bald in my twenties Craig but when I had hair I let it grow long.

Very comprehensive perspectives Thomas, thanks for sharing. With all the societal forces tugging her one way and another, I am even more in awe of such a great leader in Angela Merkel.
