Hmmm … 

That’s awkward: I’ve lost my Lighting Cable!

Just so you know?

A Lighting Cable is Apple’s proprietary charging cable for it’s many devices: iPhone, iPad, iPod, its bluetooth mice and keyboards … 

And the remote for the AppleTV!

OK, I’ve found the cheap spare I picked up a while ago.

But quite where the original is?

Well, I’m blowed if I know!

Have a nice day … !

*        I’d sort of worked that out, Olga, about the timings.  And that’s OK with me.   I do like the ten question sets, though: gives me room to develop a theme, so to speak!   Franklyn’s WELL worth a watch: but I always wonder if they based his look on Rorschach from Watchmen.

†        Yeah, I’d figured they’d be easier on the fingers, Debbi! :D   Elliot Ness?   Oh, yeah!   Somewhere out there, someone’s done websites: with Kevin Costner in a Gandhi style outfit.   (Not really my thing, but it’s going to appeal to SOMEONE!!)
