John, we hope you are getting old. the alternative is not very good

A Guy

I agree, I'll go for the age ticket, I think!
Still not doing too bad so far, considering I was old enough to walk before WW2 started. Perhaps I was the real reason why it started!

 

[Joan Archer]

You sound just like my hubby when it comes to mobile phones, his name is John as well. He's got one of those big button phones it makes and receives calls plus texts, that part though he can't do. Like you it's only for emergencies when out, so he can probably make £10 credit last a year, if not longer.

 

[Carl Lawrence]

It's the same for my Dad who has got a simple mobile phone, but as he does not drive anymore the phone hasn't been used at all recently.

Anyway I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day.

Whilst tidying my room earlier, I tripped over my phones USB cable and have pretty much broken one of the ports on the top of my computer It still functions, but it's so, so flimsy and the middle plastic part of it wobbles so it's on its last legs really.

 

[A Guy]

That's what you get for cleaning! Sorry to Hear that Tom. A Guy

Tom, the American Medical Association has said that coordination strikes someone every 38 seconds. I'm waiting for it to be my turn.

Try this:
Find a short USB extension cable, fit it into the faulty port and hold it fast with a bit of parcel tape or Selotape and just plug any peripherals into the extension cable. That way you don't keep disturbing the damaged port!
Would be a bit of a fiddle to fit a new port,I think!

Yep but at least I've learnt my lesson - don't tidy!

Oh god, I wonder how long the other three ports will last!

Thanks for the tip mitchell but I've got three other ports on the top and 6 or so in the back so I think I can make do without it I'm just glad it was only a USB2.0 port that I snapped.

Looks like they spent all of their money on a lambo rather than a house

 

[boohbah]

i was thinking along those lines, the house is a mini

 

[Carl Lawrence]

I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day and I saw 2 modernish classics in Battle. "Robertsbridge Garage" doesn't exist anymore it closed/knocked down years ago, but it was one of the few garages that wasn't self service.

Carl, to have hobbies and be enthusiastic is a positive thing. To share your enthusiasm with others is also a positive thing.

But, as has been told to you earlier, you need to respect privacy of others, and laws concerning that privacy. Even if there were no laws you need to think the ethical side of it: Do not in any circumstances publish pictures of other peoples cars with license plates full identifiable. You need to first make the license plates unidentifiable using any GFX app to hide / blur the plates or simply cutting them out of the picture.

When you think of it it is as much "bad manners" as to publish other peoples phone numbers, full contact details or such.

Today I broke the local 50 kph speed limit on my bike....and swallowed a fly in the process

Colin, I'm concerned. Not because you are an obvious scofflaw, flaunting your civil disobedience in the face of the local constabulary. Nay, I am concerned because of your advancing years and penchant for self-inflicted injury. Need I remind you: bicycle + rock + shin bone = PAIN.

Since you seem determined to push beyond your physical limits, may I respectfully suggest . . .

Or in the alternative . . .

You be careful on your bike, Golden. Anyway I have been walking Gracie as usual this morning and I saw these two classics (Land-Rover and Jaguar). We are going to ASDA shortly to do our weekly shopping.
