I would say 130?
Albie would like me to back Phil.
If I remember correctly most of your icons will go, but.... they are all in the app drawer. The white icon with 6 grey dots inside. You drag them from there to where you want them. I have BBC News and Paddy Power etc in mine. You may have to download this forum.
That is the only one I can think of.
If you do download the forum, make sure you are logged in. Makes it easier.
Now, Elle, if you are boldly going, may I and your fellow forumists, wish you good luck and God speed!

Morning, Rusty!
Yes, 130 is correct! Well done! I had no idea that there were as many islands as 800 - I'm assuming that many are just small(ish) piles of rocks?
Now as regards " boldly going"...... I didn't actually "go" anywhere! - when I went back to the Hudl, the battery was flat! and while I was awaiting its charging, I managed to fall asleep over my book! Maybe later.....
Well, today is the day for collecting the new car! I think it's due for pick up at 4pm. Looking forward to it! (altho I read with trepidation Ros' experience of her new car being 'glued' together!!)
Lovely day here - 18C first thing, so obviously going to be hot later on.
How about you?

Elle! I am astounded!
You are calling some of our beautiful islands "smallish piles of rocks"?
Best be very careful whenst next you venture North!
You will be glad to get your new car!
Glue is the future, nuts and bolts are dinosaurs!
Dull up here.
Just a suggestion, but today is Ladies Day at Royal Ascot, and I think you and the " ladies who lunch" should get tricked out in support of the sisterhood at Ascot?
I am heading out now, and have Ascot and the US Open to watch later today.

Rusty.....William Buick looks to have some good mounts today....what do you think?

Yes, he does, Albie.
Tricky to spot a winner today. Big fields!
Should be excellent racing!

Hey, Rusty!
Well, we've finally got our new car! Very pleased with it !(especially as all the windows open and shut, as does the boot!)
No, seriously... it seems a really good buy. Looking forward to going for a long drive !
What sort of a day have you had? How did the racing at Ascot go? did any of your horses win?
And the Golf.....?
Starving...must go and find something for dinner...!

Good morning, Elle!
Glad you like your new motor!
My day was grand. No bets on horses.
Golf?
Well, the course is unattractive and looks very difficult to play. But, as Jack Nicklaus (I think) said, "no one ever said golf was meant to be fair).
Miss L Plate and me are going for a bacon roll later!
And what exactly, Miss, is this about "smallish piles of rocks"?
They could well be crannogs, man made islands.
And there are quite a few burial isles.
Iona being the best known. 48 Scottish kings are buried on Iona, and several Norwegian and Irish kings.
So, a bit of respect, please, for our "smallish piles of rocks"!

Morning, Rusty!
Do I need to "throw my hat in the door first"?.......I do apologise for referring to your small uninhabited island as 'smallish piles of rocks'! I have of course heard of Iona!
Am I forgiven?
Not a very nice day here...dull, with grey clouds hovering ( definitely 'hovering' not hoovering!!) and much cooler as yet.
Where are you and Miss L-Plate going for your bacon rolls? To the Horn Café? or to the one in the woods?
Enjoy!

All forgiven!
That is my rant over for today!
Not so bonnie here either, clouds!
I am not sure where the young one and me are going.
She shall decide. I am merely the driver.
My granddaughters rule me with a rod of candy floss!
At least it is not raining.
PS. in ancient times, crannogs were built for defence.
Communities lived on them.
An attacking force would have difficulty reaching them.

Hi, Pigale
continuing on here....
The car is excellent , thank you! We didn't arrive home after picking it up until about 6.30 , so a long afternoon!There was so much to go through at the showroom, paperwork etc., then instructions on how to use all the gizmos and gadgets on the car- there are a lot of safety features built into it. Good really of course but a lot to get your head round.
Did you manage to get your cherries picked before there is a weather change?
