You can get the internet on your phone now??
When you're such a long-winded poster as me, writing on your phone is right out. I have no reason to do so; I could (but I don't) check in while downstairs if something was important, but I'd be just as likely, were a reply to be needed, to leg it up the stairs and bash at my keyboard. I bloody hate writing on my phone, including texts and whatsapps.
When I started this thread it was merely to inform everyone that I had a lifeboat waiting in case the ship went down; it quickly metamorphosed into a "let's sink the ship" or "let's threaten to sink the ship" or even "let's abandon the ship", none of which was my intention. For now, I think we accept our - in some cases metaphorical, in others literal - middle age and settle down to do what we do and not worry too much about the future. Putin will probably sort it all out for us anyway. Let's just enjoy what time we got.
