Bizzarely found in a plant pot outside my building this morning which means someone put it there. Any ideas?

I guess it could have got in with the compost if it was from recycled garden waste?

So are you Tiswas' wee brother? is Aswad your uncle? 😀

the real issue here is that the internet has pretty much killed the excitment of not knowing - as evidenced by 3 minutes to the correct answer!

Think of it as w-was was. Everyone else on the forum does, and it annoys him.

Cannot for the life of me fathom what you'd ever use it for. Any ideas?

Robot moustache.

You aren't from Cheshire are you, Cougar? My robot's moustache has been missing since Delamere, Sunday.

It's for joining 2 ends of a USB cable - Male to Male (other forums are available [cough])

Except, it's not is it, because the genders are wrong. And in any case, why would you want to join two 'A' ends of USB?

My experience of gender changers is they're invariably used by people trying to bypass measures put in place specifically to prevent them from doing something stupid, like plugging parallel printers into a serial port.

Someone I knew had an external usb drive that had the 'wrong' connector on it and he lost the cable. He used one of those to join two ordinary cables together so the resulting cable had the 'right'(for him) same connector at each end.

An "ordinary" cable, in so far as such a thing exists in the wacky world of USB, would have plugs on the end rather than sockets. The only cable you could connect to that would be a USB extension cable, and you'd still have an 'A' end at both ends.

@Cougar there are myriad ways in which people can couple things together in this world who are we to question what they want to do 😉

I have one of those. Mine is for charging up a usb power pack. You plug phones etc into the power pack to charge them in an emergency then use the gender changer to charge the power pack. If it is of no use to you you are welcome to send it my way as then I could charge two at once.

Is disappointed by the lack of mysteries on this thread. Can someone please provide one.

(I always read it as w-was was)

My username is clearly more of a mystery than I intended it to be 😉

Ok, is the white stuff at the top left of this photograph caused by excessive Toad jizz?

We're, as you can see, overrun with toad spawn and this pond and the one with the fish in it now have lotos of white bubbles on it where the pump is circulating the water.

Bingo. Thank you, that's been bugging the piss out of me for two days.

Tell you what. Post / email a picture of the pack and email my your address and it's yours, assuming I don't find the power pack before Monday.

Got one of those, but mine uses a micro-USB to charge with.

Isn't toadspawn in long strings, frogspawn in lumps? In which case it's jizz from a very disturbed toad.

We'll leave newts well alone.
