Is that a delivery which looks like a normal leg-spinner but actually turns towards the batsmen, like an off-break, rather than away from the bat; unlike a normal leg-break, a google is delivered out of the back of the hand, with the wrist 180 degrees to the ground?*

It's all in the wrist action.

I wanted to link to a clip of that old advert where a kid says it (no idea what it was advertising).
I may have broken the speed record for closing a tab.

Years ago there were ads for (I think) Worthington E, with the strapline, "It's what your right arm's for". A number of jokes on that theme emerged in various lads' mags (not that I ever bought any).

I think I maybe might possibly not search on that line, either.

Years ago I was helping an elderly neighbour with her new TV. She wanted to control it using the Sky remote just like she did with her old on. "Easy!" I thought. "I'll just Google the TV manufacturer, and get the info from them" So one quick Google for "Bush" later ...

It was some game with spinning tips that were spun using a piece of string. I think the winner was the one whose top smashed into the competitors' tops. I remember the ad, but I also cannot remember the product. That was the problem with the old ads - your remember the tag lines, but not the products. Unlike modern ads which are so anodyne (is that a real word?) that you can't remember them at all (or is that a facet of getting older?).

No, it's the ads.

Sorry chaps been up the A&E all morning - what I thought was a bruised knuckle on my middle finger turned out to be a break which has started to heal incorrectly aligned ( I did it over a week ago and didn't think it was that bad ) bit late for today - do you want me to do tomorrows ?

Sounds like a plan - it's getting a bit too close to "closing time" for today's.
Hope your finger is fine - not a whole lot they can do with broken fingers, except strap it to the next one and make the whole hand useless...
And a "prod target" for everything in existence, if my experience is anything to go by :ouch:

Thanks Paul, they can't even strap it to the other fingers as it's been 10 days since I did it - the other problem is, it's started healing with the joint misaligned, next step is physio / fracture clinic and possibly surgery {groan} happy days

Last year I had the variety that has flat pods - god for salad and soup... This year I wanted the peas so looked for a kind with large pods... As I had no that kind in the local store I ordered some on the internet...
Got a bunch of large (especially that these are dry) peas - in pink... Not green or brown or black or grey, but glowing pink...

These?[^]
I've no idea what they are, I just found a picture on reddit. One guy there says they're Karmazyn[^] broad beans, but they don't look as bright.
If they stay that colour when cooked, they'll look cool beans on a plate.

Did they by any chance come from Chernobyl or Fukushima?

It's a convenient way to get notifications at your PC and an easy way to get access to the latest pictures you've taken with your phone too...
But the greatest feature of it is to be able to launch android calls from your PC.
That way, any phone number on the web, or inside your outlook (or phone book software) can be called without picking the phone.
SUPER!
The only problem is that if you are using bluetooth headphones to get your hands free while performing the call, it simply doesn't work, and you can't redirect the call to your headphones in any way... This happens in income calls too... therefore, unless they solve this detail, a rocking feature is simply a bad thing.

that sounds really cool. i wonder if it will let you do SMS text messaging like google's little app will?
i should probably check it out. i'm averse to phones but my hubby might get some use out of it. He's on the thing constantly.
