…………….
I rarely use the contacts list in the phone, I still dial them manually for most of my friends and family ………..

My particular annoyance is Voice dialling. It’s probably me at fault but it never calls who I want it to call.   
In the car, I press the steering wheel button and it beeps, I say the command for telephone and it prompts me to speak the persons name. For example, I say ‘Call Dad Mobile’ and the display says ’Calling Beefeater Torquay’.     As it happens, I do have Beefeater Torquay in my phone as we’ve used it several times, but how does it confuse ‘Call Dad’ with ‘Beefeater’. 
I had to stop using voice dial as the Beefeater in Torquay were getting pissed off with me calling them and hanging up. 

I used to get that with early versions of Siri - it always called one particular person, no matter what I said.

The voice system in the car works flawlessly for me, be it making calls, entering destinations, or using the stereo.  Mrs TheBoy however, it really doesn't like her carrot cruncher accent...   ...seeing as she lived around 7 or 8 miles from you, that must explain it.  Alexa completely ignores her as well, sensibly

I read today that he is pulling the States out of around 80 organisations and protocols that he considers "woke" and anti American.

Voice dialling is not so good if you have a speech impediment.

I can understand that. Dad,s been gone over 10 years but I can still remember his number off the top of my head.

I don't know anyone's number, I use their name. If I lost my phone, I'd be knackered

Very old man-ish

I wonder if Donald would consider taking up residence in Downing Street for a few months. Kick out all the illegals, blow up all the boats crossing the channel, calling them invaders or something. Get all the lazy bastards who refuse to work off their arses by stopping their benefits. Lots more please, Donald.

                Well if he promised that i would vote for him… as to be fair he does follow through with what he says…. Perhaps he could come over do that then Fark off👍

Im not too bad at remembering numbers. Its everything else that I cant recall.
Especially anything that I promised swmbo that I would definitely remember.
