It comes to us all with age.
I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure it’s just the usual plastic.

Why do I have the feeling that Rillettes of Phone Salesman features prominently among the plats du jour at some local hostelry? Fresh in today.

Oh yes, they have a website. The website gives the wrong phone number and says they are in the process of moving to a shop in which they have been for the last three years to my certain knowledge.
However, I rang the shopping mall to find out if they were there, queued outside for forty minutes, and was sold a phone for £5 with £10 of airtime on it. What this does to the “bundle” I already have, they didn’t know; and all my contacts and everything else are now gone, of course.
The old one’s battery was leaking, so the failure at least has an actual explanation.

Oh dear. Poor harried and put-upon Fish.
Are you on the same number/ SIM? Because if so at least some of your contacts might be saved.

I have no idea. Ring me and see? The SIM card is the same, but it says 0/0 in contacts.

Will it work on charge? Just enough to transfer data, anyway?

Can Feral not help with contact retrieval?

Another thought: can you sync it via usb to something or other? That could give you an easy (i.e. no typing) way to back up

I don’t have the tech capability, Joe; but the “on charge” idea seems possible.
(checks)
Nope. Dead as a dodo; won’t even turn on and then immediately off again any more.

Feral has in the past gone down some very odd byways of software to try to find things that would talk to Feral’s own phones, never mind those of the rest of us. One of the few unambiguously positive things about a smartphone is that usually one can get it to speak vCard or something vaguely standard rather than Nokia’s own magic protocol, and thus load contacts onto it easily. (Plenty of other problems with them of course…)

Oof & Flump
After 'phone discussions between me & the Surgery & Rheumatology it was decided that I should again ignore the Methotrexate on Sunday, but use the time to get a 'flu jab.
I rang the Surgery again, & they told me to present myself an hour later
Gulp
Decided to go into town for the first time in weeks, & get some meat & cheese, & fresh fruit. If the injection makes me wappy, I will, at least, have plenty of food in!

My liver results are, once again, excellent, so I feel that an Normous Medicinal may be in order

I wore ‘closed’ Shoesies for the first time in months, so my feet hurt, & I am weary

Quite right, might as well give that excellent liver a useful job to do - you wouldn’t want it to feel unappreciated, after all.
I too have been stabbed this afternoon, so we can compare results later.

Apart from the last sentence this sounds at least slightly positive, Carinthia.
My flu jab this year didn’t hurt at the time or afterwards, and produced a small red patch for about two days which I only noticed when I was told it was there. I hope yours is the same.
