Bummer! Always put a screen protector on before first use.

I can't remember why you said you need a second phone is it in case the first breaks or something?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Its for everything I don't want my daily driver doing

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Dodgy stuff then. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Im a trustee for a local charity, on Monday night 3 men in a truck ripped the fire exit out of the wall, and proceeded to steal out tools.


Had the alarm not gone off they would have had all night to steal a load of tools.


But they only made off with stuff we had in boxes, but still they took about £3,000 of tools.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I used to joke about wanting machine gun nests, razor wire and claymores, it's getting so it's not so much of a joke really.

What a shit world

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

At least no one was there and no one was hurt. You hear and see a lot of violent robberies where they just go in and attack at least this was not one of those. It is a scary world we live in now I am still strong for now but it wont be long before life weakens me. I go so many weapons around the house all disguised and have legit purpose . Just for reference I do live in a dodgy area

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I found out on Saturday that my cousin was killed.

What the police believe happened is, he had dropped a car off and was sorting out his next step when a deranged idiot who had planned to hurt someone either hit him, or the car first which hit him, then flipped onto the roof, killing him instantly.

The driver walked away pleasing mental heath issue, and is being detained pending assessment.

The police want to charge him with manslaughter, but they cant do anything at the moment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

oh that is so terrible

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My condolences. Sadly criminality is what many mental health professionals have to put up with which questions mental health itself.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I do not understand this post sorry

Problem is there is no proper mental health support in this country. I was recently referred to my local mental health team I will not go into details why but the relief I felt to get the referral I thought finally someone is going to take me seriously. After all it has been 50 years since the medical incident that started it all. I got a telephone consult with a social worker who then took her report to others and I was offered nothing.

Now I am not a psychopath but they could not possibly know this. I am not a danger but they can not possibly know this but they did not even see me even though my council housing officer saw me in a state and thought me bad enough to step in and try to get me help

This guy could well be using this as an excuse but he was labelled a "deranged idiot" so he could well easily be a psychopath.

Any one of us is only one life event from a total break down and thankfully most people will not experience the event that would have tipped you over the edge. This is not in any way belittling the loss of a loved one but maybe if this guy was offered proper help it would not have happened

End of the day mental health support in this country is pitiful and my pet too

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I meant people kick off and think it's acceptable to abuse professionals which isn't mental health.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Oh I agree with that. Crossed wires

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Someone left a young dog outside in the heat all evening. It was yelping continuously, but no neighbour could get an answer at the address, nor could they get into the garden.

Apparently, the police said they could not attend, and the RSPCA did not answer the phone.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Report an intruder, they would soon attend.

Well they are the police,they should!!

I am so sorry :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Clearly you don't know the police around here. .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I reckon they're more likely to show up if someone is shouting hurty words at kids scratching cars

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Report and put the phone down and make the phone engaged. Not sure if it's legal but they turn up.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The lack of choice in full sized good quality mechanical keyboards. My trusty K70 Pro rgb has started to chatter and its soldered switched and I just aint got the eyesight anymore for that. Ended up with the BeQuiet Dark Mount which was expensive and I was paying for features I do not need. Should have just gone with the Light Mount

Yes sometimes they act like they dont care and are delayed showing...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I think I understand how those who commit school shootings felt before they acted because I have felt like that too

I was bullied really badly at school both physically and emotionally and I was physically abused by my mother. By the time I hit 13 my metal state was bad I was glue sniffing most days if not that anti perspirant cans in car parks.

I was thinking about it this morning and I remembered how I used to fantasise about shooting those at the school who bullied me most and at the time I wanted that revenge. At this point in my thoughts I realised shit this must be something like they felt . I went cold all I can do is thank God I had no access to guns because who knows what might have happened. Scary thoughts

So I guess my hate today is that people did back then and still today think it is ok to bully others. They have no idea the psychological damage they are doing and it is awful

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I wanted to go to the Arsenal parade tomorrow but public transport is limited :( I won't be going :no:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Never wanted to learn to drive so you don't rely on public transport?

I've likely not been on any public transport in atleast 10 years in the UK.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I took lessons, I drove too fast which has carried over into public transport. I always get on the faster trains.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

At least you have decent public transport down that end of the country, we're still stuck with a horse & cart every Tuesday and Thursday :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

the horse died mate,it's shanks's pony now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Not good news, it means the driver is now out of work, and if the cart isn't used it won't break, so the cartwright and blacksmith will be struggling too.

Unemployment up, trade down . . marvelous :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I usually go for Cherry Keyboards, very solid, metal lined and mechanical keys. Good for millions of key presses. Also very heavy, noisy but superb build quality.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

:rofl: you couldn't be more right!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The K70 pro uses Cherry Mechanical switches and these are what are now chattering I have favoured Brown. The BeQuiet is the first keyboard I have chosen that is not cherry and not clicky as such which is strange to get used to

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I feel gutted :cry:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Don't worry mate, you can always go to their next one . . . penciled in for 2042 I believe ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The clubs massive. The amount of people that have endured the journey is quite something.

Because I get lower back pain walking distance I couldn't do it. Had Holloway station been open I'd have gone.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

the uk's cheapest chipy has had to increase the price of fish n chips with a side of peas/curry/gravy from £3 to £3-50 it's a sad day for Grimsby :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

What kind of fish are they serving up?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Haddock

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I wasn't expecting that. Is it about volume of sales?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

more likely being in a fishing town and likely getting a good deal due to publicity

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Try Brighton :LOL: the only one getting a good deal is the seagulls

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

no it's a small family business only open 4 days per week 4-30 to 7-30 pm

we don't get ripped off like you Londoners do, larger is £2-20 per pint and you can get 4 pizza's delivered for £20

Grimsby is labeled as Europe's food town ,but keep it quiet ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm coming :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

How? There's no public transport in this part of the country, you would never survive lol.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

You're driving. Don't you remember telling me the £6 you still owe me will cover fuel cost :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The cost of fuel these days, it'll leave you broke. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

He'll save on sunglasses though, no need for then now :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Oh so you did read it but no response :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Just read it Mr pushy :D

The problem is my new car refuses to pick up Arsenal supports. ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

That would barely buy enough to get you past the M25 these days.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm glad I gave up on driving. Gave up on cigarettes when 20 was between £4-5. Hardly drink alcohol. It's extortion.

Chips are £5 here. Cod £10. No meal deals.

That's fine Sebastian. My prawn sandwich will stink your car out anyway. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

So as you know the tress went the fence destroyed new fence requested off council. Even offered to pay for a new professionally installed 6 foot fence. No one come to view the job a guy just turned up and did this

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

That should keep the lamb in :LOL:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

you can not see from the one pic that looks ok but there is a massive gap at the bottom said lamb would escape

I ordered a physical SIM replacement. Turns out technical problems means it'll take 72 hours to activate the order is hanging on my account. It's meant to be instant. :fit:

---------- Post added at 17:09 ---------- Previous post was at 16:56 ----------

It's working now having disabled the SIM then enabling it. I done that before with no joy. Problem solved. The signal bars appeared which is why I tried disable/enable.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Netgear & Microsoft :mad:

Netgear components, specifically usb adapters. Windows doesn't seem to get along with them. So there's a thumb drive or pre downloaded drivers on the machine. Offline, Microsoft cannot verify the driver's so blocks it

Online, the installation goes smoothly.

This defeats the whole purpose of needing the device for internet connectivity. You buy the product to gain internet connectivity. :confused:

This happened with a previous Netgear adapter but this time only the latest drivers from Netgear support website worked so the supplied disc with drivers on is useless.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Sick of the current weather. Doesn't seem to ever stop.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I agree. Summers now are either too hot, too dry or too wet. Still, the allotment can do with a bit of rain so not all bad. Personally I don't care what the weather is as long as it's under 24-25c. I can't do with the heat so I don't like the summer months at all.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I love the warmer, dry weather. Hi 20's are just right in this country, maybe low 30's on holiday when cooling down is easier.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I think we all moan when it's too hot, too cold, and pouring with rain in the middle of summer, but we do have a decently balanced climate compared to lots of places in the World.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm moaning now, it's raining hard here and cold too, I've got 2 weeks vacation visiting places in the UK from next week I need it to improve drastically. This time last year it was proper summer, the forecast seems to change daily though at the moment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The trick is to book a UK holiday then wait for the God of crap weather to sort his schedule out . . then cancel and rebook at a different time :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Last thursday i got the bus to my sons house,haven't been on a bus for 15 years,but i have recently got a senior citizens bus pass/travel card, i can report nothing has changed, people still smell bad and bus drivers are still awkward a holes,i normally cycle as part of my health routine except when it's raining then i take the car, but since the bus stop is only a couple of hundred yards away and i get droped off 200 yds from my sons house i thought why not it's free.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I still haven't applied for my bus pass, I get this awful dread of getting on the wrong bus and ending up stuck in a loop between Doncaster and Goole :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

i was the same,it took me almost 4 years to apply after i was eligible,but three weeks ago i thought bugger it i'll get one,only took 5 mins at age concern cleethorpes

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I might give it a whirl then.
I did (a while ago) look to see where and when I could travel, my brother lives up near Carlisle and I thought that could be a cheap visit . . alas no, it's 18 hours . . via Birmingham :shocked:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Probably cheaper to fly

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

One-way ticket to paradise for Carth :Yes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I've had that booked for a few years now . . I'm just waiting to see what they finally decide Paradise will look like, where they're going to build it, how long it will take and how much overbudget it will be. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Didn't Moses tell you it's done? Or are you questioning the great man of his word :shocked:

Moses? Nah, he was some kind of prophet (now called influencer). Those type know bugger all mate. Didn't he do something with frogs too? . . . no, not the French.

It's not good she's been absent far too long now(5 months).

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Sadly I fear the worst at this point :(
I dont know if anyone knows her outside of the forum.

JFYI, its just over 20 years since she joined.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Thompson & Morgan have stopped printing packing and useby dates on their seed packets. I emailed them to ask why, and no response so far.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Worse things happen at sea.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

old seeds don't germinate,that's why the date is on the packet

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

RyanAir digital check in, if someone is flying to the UK they can check in a month or so before however the boarding pass won't get issued until 48hrs before the flight due to ETA authorisation, no idea why it has to be 48hrs and it can't be issued before when the ETA is attached to the passport, this creates unnecessary stress.

I guess it's the same for all airlines though.

The use of the word literally .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My daughter [literally] uses it all the time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

" Whilst use-by dates are not always included on flower seed packets, packing dates can be useful for customers wishing to keep track of seed age and storage periods.

The omission of packing and use-by dates is part of our current packaging format and is not an error. Seed quality is monitored through batch control and germination testing programmes to ensure that all seed supplied meets our quality standards at the time of dispatch."

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

About an hour ago (today 15th June) I received an email from VM.
The usual stuff telling me how to be secure online, the marvelous things I can watch on TV (and even more if I upgrade), how I can recover space on my phone, my 'indispensable guide to the biggest FIFA World Cup ever', which hand to wipe with etc etc.

The email is dated 12th June.

efficient . .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

so not much use by date on there seeds

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It's a new thing for them as I just checked all old packs, and the date and useby dates have always been printed on the packs.

I was sowing the seeds that arrived, and the average content is marked as "25 seeds". I got 26, 6 with a lot of chaff, and 7 with a lot of chaff. Stern email going off later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I've sown supposedly out of date seeds and they've germinated fine.. Just like the use by date on foods, not to be taken literally.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The driver has been charged with "Death by dangerous driving" and is remanded in custody.


I guess Manslaughter would have been harder.


His funeral is Thursday.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Death by dangerous driving is easier to "prove" legally and thus convict, both can result in a Life Sentence.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I can not imagine a worse time for you and his family . I have lost close friends to sudden shocking death but never a family member and so far have always had time to prepare as it were first. My condolences to you and the family
