I've complained to them on Twitter about, but doubt I will ever get a reply.

I hate it when an app relies on an online service, that service changes (or goes off line) and the app is not updated to reflect the change, essentially rendering it useless. I've had that happen a few times.

In fairness to the developer of the latest one, Tube Deluxe, he has announced that he is in the process of rewriting the App and redesigning the server infrastructure it relies on from the ground up, and he does usually respond to tweets. He has also pulled the app from the app store while he rewrites it, but the new version of the app will not apparently be available until May.

Of course, the danger for him is that he had a loyal following, because his app was one of the first on the app store that offered the full TFL Journey Planner functionality, and status reports on all the tube and DLR lines. A lot of those people will have been forced to move to other apps for this info, and may not be willing to move back.

A moan about myself. Wore a t shirt yesterday whilst doing some cleaning/gardening. Went to put it on today, and can't find it anywhere. Not on the floor, washing machine or bedroom. Now worrying that I may have accidentally thrown it away, which if I did is too late to recover as the bin was collected this morning.

Will have some lunch and then look again after. Annoying this is.

Check out the duvet just in case you left it on the bed and it's got folded up into it. Happens to me on occasion.

Pubs that go pay and display in their car parks. Robbing swines.

A couple of pubs have had to go this route where we live as their car parks were always full of cars left for the day whilst their owners were at work. Their pay and display now means there is space to park and as long as we use the pub/restaurants we get the cost of the parking knocked off the bill.

I would be very annoyed if they just took the money and I am sure the pubs concerned would soon notice the drop in till takings as it has had that effect when our local council tried to take away our 2 free hours in the main village car park. The shop keepers were up in arms and luckily the council saw sense.

That's exactly what happened to it, found half hour after my post. Feel so stupid.

We did have free parking from the council but when the next bunch(Tories) got elected they went back to pay and display.You have to pay upfront whatever time you stay..whereas in the next town you only pay after for the time you have been parked.You can guess where most people go and spend their money.

However the reason I wanted to go to this pub was because I didn't have enough coinage for pay and display in the first place or I'd have been eating elsewhere.Frankly it's become cheaper to park at home and WALK into the village for a meal.15 eateries within a 10 minute walk.

I'm determined to kill myself it seems, I cut myself with a knife earlier whilst cutting some bread, banged my head on a shelf whilst getting something off the floor and now just sat on the arm of a chair instead of the seat itself.

*sighs*Oh well, hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

I HATE pay & display with vengeance.

My town centre has one and pays for people to walk around if the sensor under your car says you've been there loner than you've paid for to give you a £80 ticket.

So you have to guess how long the queues are going to be in your shops, at least the first 2 hours are redeemable.

Pay & displays should be banned and turned into pay on exit.

Bleeding typical: Now the partial eclipse is over the cloud is breaking up and the sun is peeking through. Got one glimpse with the moon taking about 20%. Got really gloomy though.

Same thing happened in the last full eclipse. I had the good fortune to be staying down in Cornwall and it was cloudy for almost the whole event.

My Mum is just off the phone quite upset. My Mum who is 81 and had an ultra sound scan recently and that scan has has shown up something that needs to be checked her GP say's she will now need to have a CT scan. I'm really worried as she has lost some weight and falls asleep quite a lot. I think what has upset my Mum is the phone call from her GP was not expected. I'm going over to my Mum's house now to see if she's all right hopefully a chat and a cuppa with me might put her mind at ease at least that's the plan.

l am sorry to hear about your Mum Weenie and l do hope and pray that she will be alright.
