What plug adaptor do I need for Italy (specifically Trentino if it matters)
Google suggests both 3 pin and 2 pin options - I only need to charge a phone.

Confused about WhatsApp and switching phones but keeping number. Sorry for length.
- I have a new phone on a new network and my PAC code to keep my number will be done in a day or so. I have backed up WhatsApp on my old phone, but do I wait until my number is moved across to the new phone before restoring the back up to it? If not, would that not set it up to a phone number I won't be using?
- Equally, if my old phone loses my number, presumably I lose access to WhatsApp on it, so is there anything in the process (apart from backing up) I need to do on the old phone?
- As I don't know the exact time of the number being ported, I don't want to find there are messages "marooned" on my old phone that I haven't backed up before the switch. Can it "auto back up" messages as they arrive?

Do you find the NHS app useless?
I mean things are grouped illogically or don't appear. I've had tests and the results are not under Tests. Everything seems to be bunged under Appointments. I have a health condition, but the only thing under that is a vaccination. At least there is information somewhere - my partner is with a different GP Surgery and nothing concrete is shown and worse, things vanish from the record. It's crap isn't it?

Strange but true: some of these dancers were also apes....

This is the "Young Generation", a dance troupe familiar to BBC TV viewers in the late 1960s/early 1970s. This performance is from 1969, but they performed on The Rolf Harris Show (yes, that Rolf Harris...) from 1967 onwards. Michael Benson in Space Odyssey says that they were recruited to play apes in the Dawn of Man sequence of 2001 after they appeared on children's TV, but this was actually prime time Saturday TV. Among the original members was Lesley Judd (British readers may recall her from the children's TV show Blue Peter), but it isn't recorded whether she took part in 2001. Another member who elders may remember was Wei Wei Wong.

These photos have been associated with Kubrick's UFO sighting at 145 E 84th St, the address given on the report he filed with the USAF. In the story associated with it, he and Clarke looked at the mysterious object - actually the Echo satellite - through Stanley's new telescope from the roof of the building.
After a bit of digging, I was able to determine that the photos were actually taken at a different location, another place he lived, the penthouse of 239 Central Park West. Given the angle of the telescope, they were looking at people in the park. The photos were perhaps taken by his wife Christiane.
If you wanted to buy the penthouse now, it would cost you $6m plus.
EDIT - it's unclear if Kubrick had the penthouse in both buildings. Some sources say he had apartment 4b at 239, which I don't think is a penthouse, so in that case he and Clarke just went to the roof to test the telescope (though it's odd they seem to be on the penthouse deck or terrace, next to the vent and brick wall)
