General Car Chat / Re: Car Insurance.

« on: 20 June 2020, 18:42:43 »

Just renewed the Range Rover with LV mentioned that I had now retired & the fact that my mileage would now be reducing went from £330  to £260..😃

Rumour has it that the reason that Lord Opti's insurance is so cheap is that not only is he a retired gentleman like yourself Mick, but he is insured for Social Pleasure only and with limited mileage, so he can poodle round locally visiting his mistresses. 

Does he do any miles? I thought he just sat in in revving the 'nads off it.

I was gonna say I'd never rev my car over 3000 when parked up. But the I remembered the MOT tester will rev it to over 4000 to try and make it smoke.

I've brought tat off ebay  with no issues and at reasonable prices 

You just know that a £250 pub being sold for £25 isn't as virgin as the seller claims, and will be a faulty one that somebody has badly run an iron over.  I know it, you know it, even my mums dog knows it.

I'd pay £250 for a pub, even if it was wrecked. Does any beer come with it?

Fikkkin Steve Jobs and his crap products.  PCB, not pub.

If he weren't already dead, I'd terminate Jobs and his fricking stupid macOS

I knew exactly what you meant, fat fingers, but where's the fun in that?

Treated front fence & side gates with wood stain , they were looking pretty grim but now like new well pleased..😎

Can you do mine? It’s only 50yds long. 

.   


Did the back garden earlier in the year about the same size as yours did 3 or 4 panels a day took about a week in all easy, so do it yourself 😄😃😀

I need to do one of my fences which is a couple of years old and looked OK when new, but is now looking pretty weathered. 

The problem is that the neighbours painted their side a horrible diarrhea colour and it's Cuprinol as well which is expensive. Ho hum. 

So what? You're side doesn't have to match their side.

Some naga chicken and a gallon of lager and I'm sure it wouldn't take too many attempts to get a colour match.

You'd have to do it once a week, though. 

A weekly spray job?   

Should be doable, if they don't move house because of the smell

Changed the faulty inlet valve on the toilet cistern , no more annoying overflow noises in the middle of the night ( from the cistern , not me ) 

I'd be up every five minutes if I had to listen to water noises.

General Discussion Area / Re: Be careful with amazon

« on: 20 June 2020, 15:54:35 »

The old lady who I go shopping for has taken to ordering stuff off amazon, dvd's and a few other bits. Over the last couple of weeks she's been getting duplicate orders delivered, 3 dvd's, all the same title, yesterday. I've been looking at her account for her and returning stuff. Yesterday I noticed she had another 3 of these DVD's in her basket. She swears she hasn't done but I told her, if she wanted to order anything, I'd do it for her.
Anyhow, I've ordered three or four items this week and, every time I log in, there they are in the basket again. So she's obviously just been pressing buy now without checking. But, of course, they shouldn't have been there. I'll give her a ring and tell her I don't think she's going round the bend after all.

Ahhh.......such a sweeet-hearted scouser.

.......or are you hoping for a legover?

Believe me......even you wouldn't

I thought that rather than use the proven 'off the shelf' app from South Korea that worked, they decided as ever to reinvent the wheel and we were going to have a world beating British app, that turned into a complete fiasco so they binned it? 

Yep, so apple and google are doing it.

I thought that this was still in chaos. The NHS were working on one centralised app, Apple and Google refused to play ball as they wanted a decentralised app. The Government then linked up with Google but forgot to tell Apple, and the Apple app failed to work effectively on nearly all iPhones. Apart from that it's going well. 
As I believe the app works via Bluetooth, and you have to leave your Bluetooth on permanently, most of my close contacts will register as Kuka Robots. 

On android, I went into settings>Google and there it was. You have to activate it and, as you say, turn on Bluetooth for it to work.

Scouseism alert! I'm off to pull a statue down 

no brown or black ones 

All the statues I've seen are bronze or steel grey, except for the ones that aren't.

That's probably solidified in the bottle. Haven't got a clue when we bought that.
