  1. I really didn’t get that, I was thinking wot u on about Bucks the bitchy one
  2. I think they’d make a very nice couple. The sort of couple you’d avoid but a good match all the same.
  3. You wanna be careful posting stuff like that. Six will be asking for a visit and bringing his sleeping bag
  4. Yes and no. He's extracting himself from things now other family can be put in the frame but he's not completely out. The kitchen fitters are looking at the flat next Thursday and he's been offered tickets to go and see Tenacious D on the Friday which would be shame to miss out on for the sake of one more day. If all that goes to plan and everything else stays settled (please god) then flight straight after We'll see.
  5. Feel your pain. Have just been discussing my sons (one in particular) not grasping how much life costs and immediately after that discussion the youngest announced he was £300 short on his rent payment - after returning from a shopping trip and planning his weekend out seeing a band etc etc. Mr Slowly said the usual parent stuff like you need to get a job but the reality is while mum and dad bail him out the pain of being potless is unknown to him and that pain is an essential motivator. I've told Mr Slowly not to stress, we just need to stand back, watch the inevitable car crash happen and tow our line on the level of support we're offering. I'm sure soon enough his desire to eat and party will drive him into employment. He's not lazy, far from it, he's a right royal powerhouse when it comes to hard work, it's just the penny still hasn't dropped! Unlike your son he's a uni student so is till getting a lot of living expenses paid by us and the 4k a year graduate tax crap. No way he could afford Bristol without it.
  6. Picking up some supplies and I think the pool opens this weekend so I'll be busy doing sweet fa. Hooray for doing fuck all.
  7. You confused me there, the Combe is Winscombe, The Mighty Combe, that's just Burrington Have you tried out this cafe? Apparently the foods very good although I'm told more restaurant prices than cafe. It was closed when I went so I've not tried it yet. https://goo.gl/maps/uJSD4pYir2Lx8NFNA
  8. I don't think Basecamp's simple Bob When I was trying to get the Garmin to connect to the Mac via bluetooth the device wouldn't be found, I couldn't understand why, I reached AAARGH level and gave up. I sat staring blankly at the list of bluetooth devices and saw one called 'Pretty please work' I thought what's that then? Then it dawned on me the last time I tried to connect to the Mac out here was last September and it was so frustrating when it finally connected I renamed it 'pretty please work' That's Garmin's connectivity for you, at least they're consistent, consistently crap
  9. I don't think I was particularly clear. My iPhone and my Garmin work together well using Garmin Drive. I drop the coordinates from google into the Drive app and boom the Garmin is ready to go. But for longer route planning Garmin Express which the Zumo is geared up for doesn't work with Mac and I really don't like Basecamp, it's clunky, like using tech from over 10 years ago. To use Garmin Express I need a normal windows laptop so that's what's coming Garmin don't do well on the compatibility front, I'd go as far to say they're crap!
  10. I've watched one of Annika and am unsure, you reckon it's worth persevering with?
  11. Don't know what those things are, windows things of the past? I was hacked off when we switched everything to Apple. It definitely isn't wasn't easier to use. But theres 7 users, about 16 devices and the thing apple do well is sync, makes work life a lot easier when everyones up to date within seconds without you having to send anything. I also can't fault their business service, they fix and replace things fast which is invaluable. Still I miss windows, looking forward to finally being able to run Garmin Express. Mac users have to use the old Basecamp software which is rubbish and while you do they send you pop up messages telling you it would be much faster and more detailed if you used Express maps which isn't available on Mac
  12. I’ve been in the cult of Apple for about 15 years and it’s great kit- so long as you stay within Apple world. The compatibility with non apple devices and the clunky functionality with some websites etc has finally got the better of me. So a windows laptop has been ordered. I will be able to route plan and transfer it easily to my Zumo and have a laptop for travelling with Really looking forward to seeing how it’s changed in the last 15+ years!
  13. What was it you were saying about not being a servant?
  14. Unusual for my age group perhaps. My Pops is an enlightened man. He brought me up to be free enough to enjoy all of it, boy toys and girls toys So I had all of the above. Apart from Barbie, she made me nauseous
  15. If I’d been on a 1200 rather than the rattly tin can it would have been a very different story
  16. I’m both Pete, seems to confuse people no end
  17. Very common to get sent for more X-rays. Usually it’s because there’s an angle missing that needs checking or that would change the type of surgery needed or increase/decrease the surgical skill level required for surgery. Mostly it’s just because the X-rays aren’t very clear, people are rubbish at keeping still when they’re in pain Good she’s being seen
  18. I stopped short of saying you didn't think less of me
  19. Hope there’s a plan in place cos I’m sure you know this but if you take her to A&E the injury has to have happened in the last 24hrs. If it hasn’t they will send her away to go and see the GP. If that’s the case then a discharge letter from the hospital and the X-rays should be handed over for her to bring back for expediency. The plane may not let her board without a fit to fly letter from the hospital, although that’s easily got around with some fibs like the shoulder harness is for arthritis. Basically everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet to get on the plane and get treated quickly. Sounds shit either way so good luck.
  20. @Clive it’s Lampranthus spectabilis or Trailing Ice Plant. Says collect the seed pods once they dry and turn reddish brown. Store in an envelope or jar until ready to plant Great app, the top portion is the pic I took underneath are examples and info. Very handy.
  21. Why were her predictions always wrong too?
