    @bones Didn't feel a thing.

    Nothing beats experience.

    Maybe I have had an awkward turtle before but they didn't call it that. Really can't comment.

    @bones @Snowy

    This is just typical of you two. You take an innocent childish gesture designed to silently indicate an awkward situation and insert (snigger) your own deviant take on things.

    Snowy had slightly embarrassed himself with an obvious comment (though I doubt he realises this) and I explained about the awkward turtle.

    To explain further, the first time I saw this in use was when my mother-in-law had just died and her body was lying in the next room and we were all sitting around gloomily waiting for the body snatchers when in comes my extremely fat brother-in-law. There were few chairs available so he sat in a dining chair with arms. When the bell rang for the undertaker he got up to answer the door but unfortunately so did the chair as his arse was wedged inbetween the arms and he couldn't shake it off. No-one could really say anything or laugh out loud so my two daughters made the awkward turtle gesture. And there you have it. Nothing to do with the tortoise's head touching cloth, just an innocent way of acknowledging an awkward situation.

    Sounds like someone had a bad day (not you Honey). Of course if we had known the story beforehand it would have made a little more sense. And yes I did know the comment about elephants and not so large women relative to elephants. Thanks for the tip though.

    @snowy I did say after some lunch, didnt say they got it 😉

    I have given up on that, I think when you buy a phone this is one thing they should point out to you, or maybe the phone should put up a text prompt saying "You realise you are filming in portrait mode, never film in portrait mode" or "Are you sure you want to film in portrait mode, only morons film in portrait mode" so I now blame Apple, Samsung etc.

    @taniwharugby Or maybe just give you a shock if you are holding the phone upright. Patent it then suggest it in an email to Apple. Then Huawei will have it on their phones before Christmas.

    I have the answer.

    The "if it ever gets built" was reference to the council.

    Plans been with them for about 12 weeks now, for a 3 week consent...

    I still want that though. What a pool party trick!
