Moscow’s mobile internet restored as Saint Petersburg goes offline

    Moscovites woke up on March 6 to an inconvenient new reality: the city centre no longer had a mobile internet connection.     Residents with smartphones were suddenly cut off from browsing online, using messenger apps or completing everyday tasks like ordering taxis, using contactless payment systems and even accessing public toilets. Even stranger was the lack of communication…

      飛仔

      飯局遇上舊相識。四十年前在加拿大認識了林醫生,當年醫生仍是醫學生,而林醫生已在接受專科訓練,同是香港人,他對醫生特別關照。 後來,大家各奔前程,回港後也沒有聯絡。難得偶遇,當然開心大談陳年往事。暢談之際,林醫生問道:「Tony,當年你當醫學生也沒那麼『飛仔』,甚麼時候開始『飛仔』起來的?」 醫生一時語塞,「飛仔」一詞實在久違,很久很久沒有人以此相稱了。腦海不禁自問:「飛仔」如何定義?醫生又有沒有資格當「飛仔」呢? 五六十年代,「飛仔」是指行為不檢、遊手好閒,甚至蝦蝦霸霸的不良少年。而「飛仔」的「飛」字相信來自髮型,那年代紅透半邊天的貓王(Elvis Presley)和占士甸(James Dean)都梳着「飛機頭」(Pompadour),即額前頭髮留長,用頭蠟拱起像飛機前端。那些年,不少香港年輕人相繼仿效,其中不乏不良少年,他們梳起飛機頭、穿起時髦衣裝,便被統稱為「飛仔」,惡意更會罵句:「死飛仔」。 林醫生當然並無貶意,也不會覺得醫生是不良少年,相信他是指醫生的打扮。雖稱不上「飛機頭」,但醫生確實有gel頭,惟他不明白醫生的苦處,頭髮天生硬朗,除鏟短作平頭裝外,便只能靠gel來控制。至於衣裝,醫生承認有別於一般同袍,但喜歡打扮的醫生也不少,醫生只是其中之一。 故此,「飛仔」這稱呼實在不敢當,再回想漫畫《老夫子》作者王澤筆下的「飛仔」形象,實在也不想當。 Source link
