What is a CAT phone? Is it like a bat phone? Can I expect to see the shadowy outline of a cat projected onto the skies of the 'firth or thereabouts?

'A CAT Phone is a ruggedised phone designed, manufactured and sold by Bullitt Group under the license of Caterpillar Inc.' [wikipda]
Who knew? And who knew 'ruggedised' was a word?

I like ruggedised. I wonder if there is also a less committed ruggedish

I used to buy "ruggedised" laptops for our submarine deployments, we still managed to break them. GRID computers as I remember, NASA used them too.

If we’d had a tough shift our watch manager used to take us to McDonalds for a McFlurry. Now I’ve got a taste for them...
I also get a weird hankering for tea and toast at 1030 every day.
I definitely need to do more exercise!
