IIRC iOS autocorrect relies on history, i.e. if you make a correction often enough, the system "picks up" and tends to make that correction for you as you go. So, what's on Neil's mind?

More rationally, 'd' and 'f' are close to each other on the keyboard, though surprising that the system wouldn't try to autocorrect the F word to the D word (or any other word ending in 'uck').

Funnily enough I can see someone taking it on a plane and using it when the service is slow.

Could even be a business opportunity selling coffee to those seated nearby.

Not to many cigarette lighter outlets on planes, and the wattage would kill a normal AC outlet with an adaptor.

I'm sure the on board computer wouldn't like it either having to ask Hal to open the pod bay door.

I was just talking to a friend of mine who has just forced landed his vintage Bird Dog aircraft in a paddock near Heathcote. The paddock belonged to a winery, so in true pilot fashion he bought a couple of bottles to take home.

(aircraft and pilot are both OK)

Bugger. If you get a chance the next week, let me know. It would be fun to drive up to Armidale for a drink. If not, no worries.

PM sent.Now I know that there is at least one other AFF member in Armidale so if we do end up meeting I guess any other AFFer in town is welcome?
Might become the inaugural Armidale drinks night and become Legendary.

I am always happy to have a beer after a game of Golf.

But it will only be 1 or maybe 2 and will head home.

Even if you had a lemon squash, or glass of water, or coffee, or tea, that would still be considered sociable.

I did not not make up the rules about socialising after a game of golf. There is only one place in the world I have encountere or heard of where the socialising is not important.

One of the first things I did when I purchased my first iPhone was to turn my auto correct off. I don't expect some iNerd in Seattle to understand how I type.

Related: I wrote a book (98% of it) on an iPhone. True story.

I used to work at a place where it was "customary" for staff to stay behind every Friday for a few drinks and to socialise.

I never stayed behind, not because I had "family" or was "unsocial able" but because I simply didn't like the people.

Funny that....

And what is your point? I don't socialise with most people at work either.

Thought I'd do a quick trip to the local Coles to pick up some dog food today. Walked straight down to the pet food aisle towards the back of the store, and lo and behold, they've decided to re-arrange where everything is located. I really, really, really HATE that. Why? Why do they do that? Do they think I'm going to find some new and exciting grocery item that I've never thought of purchasing before, where the dog food used to be? It turns a 5 min trip into a 15 min "aggro" shop. Grrrrr... (rant over).

Aren't the power outlets on some older AA aircraft of the cigarette lighter type? (Never used them but it just seems to ring a bell).
