I'd say Pauline would have had a few chardies last night to celebrate her Mother's Day!

Not sure if it’s the right forum but I understand that Jeff Stanyer has passed on ?. I knew him from Stalwart in the 70,s

When my phone "tinkled" with the Australia wide disaster alert test, I swore that mine said "Presidential alert". When I offered this some suggested I was "special" but I was not able to track the message (maybe I am special). I use an old "retired" phone as an alarm clock and it "tinkled" when I went to set it up with an alarm time (note, not having the technical nouse to set up a screen shot - trust me it said it) and said "Presidential alert". I know that others said this happened with them, how about others on Skilled Hands?

Nor me, guess I'm not as special as I thought.

I want to give some support for Jacinta Allen.

It can't be disputed that she has definitely been Victoria's best Premier since Dan Andrews.

Saw the alert but did not bother to read it just deleted it after a cursory glance

Yup, mine only 'tinkled' as well, and I thought my Samsung Galaxy S20+5G 'smart phone' (released in 2000) was fairly 'modern', but...

I guess if there's an emergency in my immediate vicinity I'd better be in an absolutely soundless environment, or I'll never hear it...

My Samsung S25 Ultra and my Samsung S9+ tablet both squacked like stuck pigs.
I didnt read the messages just turned the noise off!!
I believe you are supposed to have to have the latest updates installed for it to work properly,
My wifes Telstra Z2336T which is a fairly basic non-smart phone has all its updates but stayed silent and didn't blink!!
