Brain in Hand - any experience of it here?

I must admit I'd never heard of this, in fact the first thing that phrase conjured in my head was the Ood from Doctor Who. (I guess we are in some ways all the ood now, I'm sure our phones will be grafted on before too long!) 

More seriously, thanks for flagging the term as I've now - via Googling - learned something. 

And hopefully someone more informed/helpful to you will be along in a while... and in the meantime my  post can serve as a little 'bump' for your thread, so if nothing else I've done that... :-)

Apologies by the way to Stranger - for some reason I didn't see your reply when I posted my mine, but I certainly wasn't using 'more informed...' to refer contrastively to anyone but myself. 

My posts were being marked as spam at the time and required moderating, so it's likely it wasn't here when you replied. But please don't worry, no apology required. 

I love your profile picture by the way!
