Could be he is 'tied up' with Meghan, a little umbrage has been taken after a mini-clash, his comms system is bruck or...? TB would probably know.

Boac if you don’t mind may I request the thread where umbrage may’ve been tooked? I thought it takes a hell of a lot for Fox3’s nose to be put out of joint.

‘Bruck’. Can I steal that? :D

I believe Alison challenged his media reports of the Australian fires.

Ah. Though it would’ve been on the Child Cruelty thread. Thanks Boac. 👍🏻

A relief and a shame if that be the reason.

Nothing to do with me guv :-B - I've been back home for a week or so. Regular readers may have noticed Mr Fox usually takes a break from here in January. After his roofing exploits he has now moved onto kitchen demolition and refurbishment.

The Island escaped the worst of the big storm that dumped 30” of snow on Newfoundland. Looks like his area got about 6” of the white stuff but it was blowing about a bit and the windchill took temps down to the minus 20s. Will keep you posted.

Reread that part of the thread Boac but don’t think Admin’s rant would be enough to stop him posting period. What TB said makes sense. IIRC he does hibernate like a Yukon bear sometimes during the coldest part of the Canack Winter.

I yam. I just miss Fox’s input on certain things that’s all.

It's probably cold enough there that the electrons all slow right down and what he typed several weeks ago still hasn't reached the warmer end of the wires.

Re post #103, apparently a recent episode of “Silent Witness”, a show full of partially dismantled human stiffs on a post-mortem slab, claimed that undetakers access to digits won’t work.
But if the right voltage potential is fed to the relevant digit then the offending locked phone can be opened?
Experts will doubtless confirm or refute....
Just thought I’d wave that in case anyone was pondering such a tactic?🤔

I read/heard in the not too distant past, of family taking a cellphone to the Undertakers with requests to attempt to unlock them with the appropriate digit.

Dunno how successful it was.
