I’ve just ordered one, rude not to at that price.

I’ll play with it for a while then stash it until someone offers me a good price for it. ?

Moto G5 £90. ?

Unlocks under £2 on ebay, like this one.

As you say Bob, not enough of them.

About my age and was confused about my pain. Then I told him about the MRA I had and he had to access a different system and drill down through various levels of shite to get to the results.

The arse doesn’t know what the elbow is up to.

I used my wired Madcatz Xbox360 (licensed) controller for a few years on various Android devices. Only issue I had was button mapping in some games made it uncomfortable for more than a few minutes.

I’m on green tea now, caffeine free. That or water. Sometimes plain black tea for a change.

Saw another specialist today, another surgeon after yet another x-ray. This one actually talked TO me instead of AT me like the last lot.

After about 20 minutes he came to his conclusion and wrote it down. Before showing me he asked what I would like to happen.  I said avoid surgery as long as possible, even if it means being in agony. Exactly what he’d written down.

So I now have to wait for a referral to a pain clinic which has to come from my GP.

Nearly got blown over on the way from the hospital to my car, gusts must be in the 35 mph range. Also intermittent heavy rain.

Saw a brief glimpse of that a few months back, one of the people that I sometimes watch their videos on YouTube had a cousin that was high up in the company, it was a 15 odd second clip but looked really good.

Mum had insurance on her old oven, well worth the money then. To my knowledge over 2 years the bloke came out 28 times.

After the first few visits she knew how he took his tea, what the result was going to be and the parts were on order before he set foot in the house. The manufacturers would not accept there was a fault with the igniter, even though it probably cost them 8. times the cost of the oven in repairs. (The insurance was their own scheme).

When I heard how crap it was I got in touch with them and applied some pressure, after lots of faffing about there was a £300 discretionary payment and £200 irf they agreed to cancel the insurance and allow the oven to be removed. A new one was offered for £1.2k. Go forth and multiply was heard.

The oven they have now cost £350, from a neighbour who has a kitchen/bedroom showroom, ex display but with a full 3 year warranty. Hasn’t missed a beat.  No insurance on that, not worth it for the money.

I use the Shield controller, by far the best joypad I’ve ever used. It has a headphone port built in.

It isn’t cheap and might not be for you, it’s a personal thing whether you like the feel of it or not. It allows me to game for longer than I could with another controller because of my hands not getting as sore.

[PlaneMan]

Welcome John. Mine is actually USB 3, hope you’re as lucky as me!

[PlaneMan]

John, unless it’s going to get a ton of use just buy a USB external one. That way you can move it around without tinkering.

Look on ebay, loads available for about £10-£12 delivered, bought one about 6 weeks ago for my X220 to rip DVD and CDs, been faultless.

 

Edit.

The one I bought.

Bob, the way that the ‘assets’ are kept within the garment is referred to as tit tape, or more politely, body tape.

Last time I went to London was to visit my brother in Wimbledon, drove a 1997 Mini Cooper. Had to stop for fuel 3 times, tank was the size of a small jerry can. Took 3 odd hours to get there and another 2 to get across London. That must be 15 years ago, maybe more.

In general I like London but I dislike the noise and pollution intensely. Sadly Cardiff is going the same way slowly.

[PlaneMan]

My car is exempt. Not an issue for me but nice to know. It really makes no difference as I have a blue badge so I’m exempt from the congestion charge anyway.

[PlaneMan]

That could be because of poor 3/4g coverage. It needs to be able to get a fix either through WiFi or mobile coverage.

[PlaneMan]

I use Chrome all the time for my primary web browser, true it’s mostly on a Chromebook or Android device.

I use Edge on my media pc as neither Chrome or FF play netflix or YouTube properly. Edge takes an age to do anything mind. It’s the little Dell that’s the issue, it’s essentially the innards of a £150 laptop.

I still hate Edge though.

A busker actually worth watching!
