Just what is the chance of this?

A scuba diver found an iPhone on the seabed off the Dorset coast when it lit up after receiving a text.

Priceless:

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when they realised it wouldn't float.

(Actually, not priceless, about €1bn each.)

I'm sure most of us have other interests and use forums for those. I recently joined a couple in connection with my pastime (shooting) and pretty much left them immediately.

I have a Moto E (2ndGen ) phone and on it I have EasyVFR and dropbox.

If I select a .GPX route file from dropbox it opens EasyVFR which then confirms it has been downloaded in the routes file, from which I can...

Our house is small so the downstairs cloakroom/loo is proportionately small and, for reasons best know to the previous owners, unheated and 50% of the walls are external.

My wife and I were talking about Maths (she teaches it) and was shocked that at school aged 13 I was taught Sex On Holiday Can Always Help To Overcome Anxiety to remember Sin/Cos/Tan.

I noticed a car parking ticket that my wife had when she parked in an NCP car park and noticed that NCP's registered address is in London. Why does it need to be?

So after a break of nearly a year I have found another Nissan leaf to soothe my needs to drive an EV.

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

After skipping last year the robins are back in one of the nesting boxes in my garden.

I'm used to them getting close in winter, especially if I'm digging, but I've not seen one as cheeky as this. She was hopping around the garden gathering moss...

How to solve the commons deadlock? B*** off a few days early and do nothing for 6 weeks!

A bankrupt declaring immunity based on S African dual nationality thus absolving himself of all UK debts gets paid by the Beeb ? Really ??? :(

So, I've been staying in this hotel for a couple of days, and clearly not paying attention. Tonight I wandered round the back:

Can anyone help?

Going to Duxford this weekend with the family. If we take picnic stuff, is it practical to leave it in the car and return to the car at lunch, or will we be parked far away? Is it a good idea to take chairs, or do they become a nuisance? Thanks in...

I just wondered if there were any (current) professional mariners on the forum? I only ask because I wondered how modern professional martime operations and systems on a vessel compared to comemrcial aviation (an in short..wondered if they are in...

Not quite deja but all over again.

Seen on AFORS. If it doesn't sell should we have a whip round to help him? :lol:

Have been on the train today and seen lots of dry fields but equally lots of quite green ones too, so a question for the forum farmers...

The war of attrition between Isner and Anderson is strangely compelling viewing. They should have handed the court to Djokovic and Nadal ages ago but the final set is at 14 games all :shock:

Fantastic news all the boys are out of the cave.
I don't normally go for that "my heart goes out" malarky when I don't even know the persons involved, but this felt different, if just one of them hadn't made it, it would have been...

NERC foolishly asked the public to name their new research boat. :lol:

Hi all,

I will be organising my yearly French get-together at Lee on weekend of 20-22 July.

The aim is to encourage French students to practice their English at a real British airfield not too far from home.

As usual, a few outings will be on...

But would the "Brits working within EASA" keep their jobs? I was looking at jobs in EULISA (IT) and a requirement is to be a citizen of a Member State.

Some fascinating photos in this story, and I've seen similar 'reveals' in previous years such as long-lost hill figures.

Well it is a bit of a novelty nowadays for someone to have the integrity to resign a highly paid cabinet post because (s)he cannot accept a collective responsibility for decisions which go against his/her principles.

Our new place is fully equipped with upvc double glazed window frames. However it is obvious that some of the individual double glazed units are no longer in tact because there is fogging (?) within the units.

This couple have been pursuing this for years . About time they got what I can only regard as a very sensible ruling.

I do cringe at society and government, when people have to go to court to get a ruling on such an indefensible issue. Still, they...

Very grateful if those Forumites who have ever visited could help by answering a very few questions. These are purely statistical, no critical reviews are being sought! We hope it will help a grant application in due course

Dunno if it's av or non-av, but lovely combination of the internet generation and low satire:

This common species is of recent origin, discovering it's ecological niche in the early 20th Century. The origin of the species is on the coast of North Carolina, evolved from mosquitoes preying on the local limpets and barnacles at low tide.*
