At the shop yesterday, grabbed some marked down Christmas cookies (70p!) and right next to them on the shelf was all the easter stuff! It's 3 months until Easter surely the Valentines chocolates should be out first!? 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new trend? Someone's having fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god for eagle-eyed roadies. No, what I mean is, do you use a clip or something to keep it attached to you, or do you have a dedicated pocket that it always goes into when not in use? Or do you just have it permanently welded to your hand? I'm fed up of panicking thinking I've lost it while I'm out and about, only to find it's slipped down underneath my shopping.

Just wondering how everyone else manages their errant tech! Dedicated pocket all the way! I usually carry a backpack with a separate, small pocket in the front where all the little items go like keys, purse, phone. If I use it a lot while I'm out, it's in the pocket of my jeans or jacket (I still have a phone that's small enough for that) Edited January 6, 2023 by CharlotteL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly next to me somewhere, table and the like. Or else in my jacket pocket or in my trousers or in my bag. 11 hours ago, Hero said: Or do you just have it permanently welded to your hand? Kind of! I almost always have it with me and if I don't, for example, take it to the kitchen and go there for 10 seconds, someone is sure to call me. And I get few phone calls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-freshing the page didn't help. Almost everything can be removed from a post when you edit it (I don't know for sure about hidden boxes because I have never clicked on them) If you can't edit that you might want to copy your post, delete it then open a new post and copy your text in it Edited January 7, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you just have it permanently welded to your hand? I'm fed up of panicking thinking I've lost it while I'm out and about, only to find it's slipped down underneath my shopping. Just wondering how everyone else manages their errant tech! I try to put my phone always in the same places when I'm home. Otherwise I have two bags a bigger for things I might need and a small one for my phone with a pocket for it and one for my keys, my credit card, my ID and my passport. That being said as it's often in my hand I do tend to lose it (and it is often on silent mode) When I'm alone at home sometimes I play Mika songs on it so I enjoy them and I can always find my phone (especially when doing house chores) Another option is to set the alarm to ring at certain hours. That way you know you will find your phone even if you have to wait until the time you had set. There used to be a very convenient and free ap that made it ring and flash even on silent mode if you sent your phone a message with words you had chosen (you needed someone to send you that message but it worked very well) It was called find my mobile I think. It doesn't exist anymote but there might be others. There are different types of thingies you can stick to your phone that will make make nòise if you whistle around it and others that use bluetooth to help you locate your phone (but bluetooth has to be on it all the time) and it is not very precise. If you are not afraid of big brother I think google can locate and even make your phone ring for you but that implies to leave the location on your phone, to allow google to track you and use a pc or another phone to ask google to do it for you. The ultimate solution is to have two phones so you always have a back up in case you lose or totally break one. Can you tell I lost my phone many times? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunde Pfeffer Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Can someone who is a native English speaker help me? I'm in the process of translating my fantasy novel into English. I have a character who is a cloud-like being (he can also fly). I want a cute name for him. The three options are: Fluffie (because HP already used Fluffy), Floaty (but I don't like it because with the letter "t" it doesn't sound cute, at least not for my Hungarian ear), or Plushie. Which one sounds better and cuter for English-speaking readers? (In Hungarian his name is simply Felhő which means Cloud, but the English version doesn't sound that beautiful.) I hope it's okay to ask it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a name related to his character rather than his shape/form... like Happy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name can't be character related yet, because another character names him when they meet, so we don't know a lot about his character until later (they don't usually have a name, but my main character gives him one). Wispy is not bad, I'll think about it. It sounds cute... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
