Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.) 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's. 7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post) Enjoy.

Yep... Had a pigeon do that trick just after I'd cleaned my windows. Guess it was trying to take a short cut through my house!... It fluttered away again sideways and obviously dazed. It left behind a very artistic greasy imprint of its feathers and splayed out wings.

So where on the web are there any 'simple' USB <--> 4G/5G cellular data modems/dongles, preferably with an external aerial, that don't have WiFi frippery included?! Help?! Edit: We have the silly giggle here in the UK about the 'wrong' type of leaves on the tracks stopping services. Does that stretch to the wrong kind of mud in the ~~telephone~~ telegraphy wires ducts?...

Most phones, though not all have either a micro-usb port(non standard) or a standard USB-C port, at least this is true in the US, elsewhere? I don't know.
