Had a bit of time spare this afternoon while over at mum’s place waiting for a parcel to be delivered so I went hunting for bits of wood, found some old slats off a bed that’s long gone so made a stand for my fat bike.   It’s not pretty or precise but it works.  :good:

It’s 50,000 songs you can upload. As mentioned, they sound way better than the original files.  :yahoo:

It’s a bit of a long shot but you might be having the same trouble with ‘OK Google’ that I do on my G5, it hates my voice. Recognizes my voice maybe a third of the time. My K1 tablet gets it right abut 80% of the time.

As far as I can figure out it’s either the LG build of Nougat, the microphone or both.

 

Edit.

Clarkson has trouble with Apple CarPlay in his Golf.

Just going to throw this out there!! Runs and Hides

That’ll go alongside the few originals I have very nicely! :good:

About £400 odd with one of the accessories, sometimes hit £350.

The modular design was dead before it was launched by LG. I knew that.

Replaceable battery and great specs for not much £ (relatively speaking) swung it for me.

Checked the boiler at mum’s and it’s one of these, 34 CDi.

IIRC  the 29 CDi would have been sufficient but pushing it a bit when visitors descend, which is quite often, hence the 34.

I’ll try and remember to check what boiler is at mums place tomorrow, it’s a Worcester Bosch job, I’m almost certain, it’s a large sprawling house, only 3 bed, 2 bath and another bog but floorpan would have space for about 5 bed and 4 bath and the spare bog. And a bigger drive.

I’m with Steve on the wireless control panel, when the heating had to be re-done at mum’s place (all the pipes, internal and external and new boiler) it was £150 in parts + 1 days labour to put a conventional wired panel in the location of the old one, £40 for a wireless one and I fitted it in the location of the old one.

It runs on 2 (iirc) CR2032 so there’s a load of them in the drawer that’s nearest to it but not needed to change the battery yet (9 months +).  Range is also pretty damn good, mum has in the past taken it into the garden and switched the heating on before she comes in for good.

G5 is very good, had mine a while now.

• I see that the SE has the dual rear cameras as well, I like them a lot.

[PlaneMan]

As far as I know, G4 only.

The  £1.59 includes VAT of 26p, according to my email receipt.

I find them as good as my Virgin Cable package allows, 5 up,near as dammit, and 70+ down.

[PlaneMan]

My K1 is on 7.0, had the update a few days back, so that could be it.

[PlaneMan]

It just did it.

[PlaneMan]

Fine on my phone but now broken on my K1 tablet.

[PlaneMan]

It’s automatic, at least for me it was.

Had a email about 6 weeks ago saying along the lines of ‘coming soon, billing in your local currency’.

Virgin may not ‘count’ streaming from their sites when administering caps.

It’s only uploads that affect and trigger traffic management now.

 

I’ve used 52 gigabytes in 13 days, I’m amazed it’s that little, everything comes via broadband since my aerial  packed up. I’m also re-watching The X-Files via Amazon Prime, lots of episodes a day, all in HD.

John, if they throttle you it’ll be to 25% of your normal speed (or used to be). Ive had Virgin cable for a long time and used to get throttled in the early days, I honestly can’t remember the last time it happened to me and I watch on demand almost exclusively.

In short, don’t worry about it. If it happens you’ll know about.

Went for a ride on my 650b bike yesterday while waiting for Amazon to deliver a new tyre for my fat bike.

Bad move. Did 3 miles in total and was in agony.

So it has to go. :negative:
