Q1. Batalogy: the study of blackberries, raspberries, etc.
Q2. Cannonballs: the only meaning I know is the balls fired out of a cannon. Could be testes, though as they are also 'balls'.
Q3. Puffinus Puffinus: some sort of seabird, like a Puffin but that would be too easy!

Q1. Batalogy: the study of blackberries, raspberries, etc. I'm sure I read this somewhere.

Q3. Puffinus Puffinus: some sort of seabird, like a Puffin but that would be too easy!

Nothing to do with the phone, just sheer studpitiy on my part
I wasn't going there at all (particularly when I posted a TV answer on a Pixel thread yesterday)
Ah, now I missed that one
