What was it you were saying about not being a servant?

Got to prevent her taking them back there........there's ho hope in that country.

And she lives in the East......which is the thickos part that put the right wing government in place.

Ruled by the Catholic Church and full of racists, bigots, homophobes and extreme right wing groups.

The compatibility with non apple devices and the clunky functionality with some websites etc has finally got the better of me.

Really looking forward to seeing how it’s changed in the last 15+ years!

 

Windows 10 and 11 are very good! No more blue screen of death and twice a year reinstalls.

Munter update......apparently she's going off it in Madrid!

They can't find a place for Jake in any school.......so that's giving her an opening to put her plan into operation. Which is to drag them back into that Polish ghetto!

I've spoken to the British Embassy (cos he's a dual national) but they've advised me that the school has no obligation to provide a place until the child is 6. So he's a year away from that.

I'm pursuing other options as well.......need to know basis and all that!

Just get a hit on her and that's job sorted, you'd have saved alot of money and misery had you taken our advice sooner...

Hope it turns out well mate

They are dying in their thousands.

Here's an embalmer from Milton Keynes.

Here's a rundown on the figures.

The real spike in deaths is due in 2025, the vaccine is a slow poison.

You do know that a coronavirus is actually the common cold don't you and it's only the vaxxed getting ill and dying, it's in the vaxx.

Watch this, he got a couple of dates wrong but the core of the matter remains valid

I know a few people who swore apple was the dogs when it came to computers but after a few years ended up on a windows PC as it is so much easier to work with 

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

Sorry to say this but I bet it won't be that simple , my i-phone and my garmin Montana are sworn enemies if you try to get them to talk to each other directly.  The best way for my application is to use Basecamp on my puter and transfer into the Montana from there.

I have tried Garmin Connect , Garmin Drive and Garmin Explore but the i-phone says no

I have windows 11 on the putor at work, lots of clever thingies better and slicker than 10 but more hiccups too, nothing serious but annoying. 

 

 though to be fair I know fuck all about how any of it works...

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!

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

My laptop is still running 7 as it has XP mode so can still run some old car manual progs.

That's because of all the tracking algorithms.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't after you.

Follow up to the no place in the school in Madrid situation!

My boy did what I told him to do (gotta be a first) and the school has given him another form to complete and take in next week.

There may be a window of opportunity to get a place because the youngest one is already booked in to start in September.

However, I've got to get some documentation released to Madrid from the school here......so I'm going in to see the headmaster in an hours time.

Had a meeting with Pepe the Head Teacher.......who I get on very well with.

I thanked him for all he and his staff had done for our grandson, and apologised for any situations that the Munter had caused.

Soon as I mentioned her, his face changed from relaxed and smiling to a very serious look. The Spanish always give their feelings away in their face.

Unfortunately so does the Munter......and her facial expression is always angry and glaring. I don't think I've ever seen the fat cunt smile.

I explained what her endgame is in terms of dragging them back into the Slavic ghetto if Jake doesn't get a place in this new school......and I've asked him to do whatever he can to help the application.

And he will. Because if the Spanish like you they'll do anything for you. If they don't, then you may as well book a flight out of here because it won't end well.

So.....just got to wait for Madrid to review the application. If we get the green light from them then Fatty will really lose her shit cos she'll know that I'm the one that's blocked her exit route!
