Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 After the Garmin success my next stop is the helmet cam which failed regularly because my iPhone 12 was a piece of tortuous crap but by the time I discovered the phone was to blame for the camera not formatting I was already up to Basil Fawlty level of anger and had flung it in a drawer. That'll have to wait til I get back to Blighty though cos thats where I abandoned it. Might even venture to load some footage on here.. but I wouldn't hold your breath 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 FFS I'm sick of all these different tech connectors. I've got a bag full of adapters and different leads to change one end to another but now I need USB C to mini (not micro) USB or Female USB to USB C to connect the Garmin to my laptop. I know all the tech companies are up in arms about the recent EU ruling to force all providers to switch to USB C by 2024 but I welcome it! Imagine one lead for all your devices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup charging vibrators is so complicated now, remember when it was as simple as banging in a couple of double A's and away you go 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I had some woman called Delyth talking about her 'Yeurs' to me in Wales once. I thought she was talking about her experiences a long time ago. It was only when I caught the word 'yeurings' that I realised she was talking about her lug holes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to cycle to there when i was in school to chat the girls up, we just called it flower as most of the locals back then did, I never knew it as Fleur-de-lis and years later a friend was talking me about the times we used to hang around in Fleur-de-lis and i didn't know what the hell he was on about and said i'd never been there, until he said yes you have we used to cycle there after school you know flower then the penny dropped LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
