General Discussion Area / ParcelHero?

« on: 28 July 2021, 09:42:29 »

A company called ParcelHero took a small amount out of my credit card, never heard of them till yesterday.

Bank has refunded the money and issued me with a new Credit Card.

Research on the net shows them to be a dubious courier company.

Anyone had any dealing with them.

Haven't a clue how they have got hold of my Credit Card details.

General Discussion Area / Car Insurance Conversation

« on: 22 July 2021, 07:50:43 »

Me 'Why has my Insurance gone up by £70'

Them 'I can give you £40 discount of that price'

Me 'I've hardly used the car because of COVID'

Them 'Ok, you can have an extra £25 discount'

Me 'What if I reduce my annual mileage by !000?'

Them 'I can give you £40 discount for that'

Me 'I've fitted a dashcam'

Them 'You can have an extra £25 discount for a dashcam'

It beggars belief, but that's cheaper than the comparison sites.

Are they any good?

Is this one any good? :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084M5ZL5L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=540378660-192-&tag=msnukrfre-21

As both cars are not used much these days for long journeys, I though of getting a couple.

« on: 01 July 2021, 09:04:02 »

As millions of PC's won't be able to run Win 11, will people just use their tablets and phones instead?

With my Nextbase 322GW, despite a lot of negative reviews, worked first time, I like the way it clips into the window mount by magnet for easy removal.

Video quality is excellent.

App also connects first time every time and seems quite professional.

Thinking of buying the clip in rear view module to compliment it.

General Discussion Area / Snooker

« on: 01 November 2020, 07:42:58 »

I haven't played snooker for over 30 years, out of boredom during the current restrictions I booked myself a lesson with a WPBSA 1st4Sport World Snooker Coach.

After the lesson I had a practice and knocked in a 52 break - dead chuffed.

5Ghz Configuration Mismatch.

Your access points in the 5 Ghz Band are not all configured with the same Extended Capabilities.

What does this mean and how do I rectify it?

Arrived at 03.00p.m. yesterday afternoon.

Don't know what TB's problem is.
