I can agree with Ed, Aberdeen is always cold and wet. Lived there, just south, for a couple of years, as a young man. The weather sucked all the time.

Scotland is beautiful, but the weather is harsh.

I don’t use the stock ui/launcher. I have nova launcher and pixel icon pack, make it look and behave like my nexus and pixels of past.

Back to android auto, with my Leon never had an issue. However when I had a loaner astra last year, it was hit or miss wether it would launch android auto on the car display. But my sons iPhone/car play acted exactly the same. So I put down to the car and not the phones.

I got it to yesterday. (P20p also). I quite like it also. Very radical shift from the old layout.

[The Duke]

I do Lee, that’s how I get to my DMs. It’s perfect.

[The Duke]

Don’t think it got that hot here, but it was very yesterday. Looks like today will beat yesterday!!

Was great for takings. ?

If you have the paid emails and or screen shots, ebay/PayPal will quickly side with you, and return your payment

Have you  hecjem in PayPal or your bank to if the money ever left? As it may just be a software issue your stuck at the centre of.

Either way I bet its sorted by Wednesday. I wouldn’t worry about it.

[The Duke]

Oh BTW, I treak every one with the upmost of respect, even police officers. You can ask Dave, in a sofly spoke and well mannered person. So when I spoke to said police man, I was very nice.

I doubt an attitude to put an officer off anyhow. If so, they are in the wrong job.

[The Duke]

There you go again, with your “in depth” knowledge”. Probably way past its sell buy date anyhow.

It’s the like of this attitude why people are put off by the police.

I actully seen the Bobby this morning as I was opening. I was brushing the front and he walked around me (side stepped) and he didn’t even let on. I had a little chuckle inside.

Total waste of time the lot of them.

As for the mod comment, I deal with people on their level. If they act like a pompous prick, they will be treated as such.

I keep disagreements within it thread and don’t carry them over to the next. Life is to short.

Also I’m in a good mood today. So all have fun while the sun is here.

Edit–bob I see you jumped in, I wouldn’t bother.

I also had the incedent on my dash cam. Which is very high quality. I say had as by now it will of been over written. Their loss.

[The Duke]

Yep, I wouldn’t bother with it. I’d like to know if sky does broadcast ota though. As if they do, it won’t belong untill someone finds it now.

[The Duke]

Not really. There a issues in all walks of life. Right and wrongs.

[The Duke]

Not at all, what “got to me” is whenever someone says anything even remotely negite, (and this was remotely) about police, law or insurance, he dives to their defence.

Now if it was every now and again, that would be fine. But it’s evey time on evey little issue. Brown nose comes to mind.

[The Duke]

You just sound completely pompous and up your own arse tbh.

I’ve bought a couple of amazon that have worked fine with my P20 pro. Fast charge is fine.

I’ve had trouble with my neck for years. I’ve not long started using a chiropractor and in the first session he cured my stiff neck. Could only get it 45 degrees to my left, he had a fiddle with my head, prodded my neck and full movement to the left, the rough doesnt go all the way to my sholder but the left now does.

Still not sure if he is doing any good with my lower back, but fixing my neck went along way in instill a bit of faith. Or enough for me to give him 12 weeks, to see how we get on.

Ive been enjoying it too. I was terrified before my first session, as I thought he would kill me and put me out of action for a fortnight. But (touch wood) it has been fine. Not cheap, but I think worth it. Shoidl of started it 20 years ago!!!

[The Duke]

I’d always go sensors over camera. I can’t get use to the camera. Much prefer the beeps. The viewing angles just never feel right for me. Also looking forwards whle going backwards just doesn’t fit well with me.

[The Duke]

I wasn’t let down I never wanted to give a statment. They asked me as I was the only witness, and they had the guy in the cells. They approached me, I stupidly said I’d seen the incident and discribed the knife. A wilcos black and blue foldout stanley clone. Man with ginger cropped hair and green tracksuit top. He was also on cctv, as was my car, cupping the knife.

Not cynical at all. It’s what I expect of the local lot.

I don’t care, as they can all dwindle themselves down, making it safer for normal folk.

Also you don’t have to defend evey pc/force and law firm. Sometime they are what they are. Though the blue pc that spoke to me probably shouldn’t of confirmed my ID and the knife off the record. As if I let that slip it would kill any case. Maybe what is why they never bothered to call around.

[The Duke]

Collision breaking is good. Mine has saved me twice reversing.

It does like to jump in early, reversing off the hill car parking space, out side my chemist always triggers an emeragy stop, it thinks the road at about 30degrees is a wall. Scares me every time.

[The Duke]

Not been on for a few days, thought I’d update regarding my PC visit regarding the knife incedent. They never showed up.

So much for them having a person and needing my witness statment for prosecution to stick. Probably to much paper work.

[The Duke]

I always go on ebay and get my mats, usally a third of the price, just as good quality, if not better, plus you get to pic your design.

I usally go for less is more. With the offical badges for my spec.

Rule of thumb, Just don’t be temped to get the 20 quid ones, opt for the 40 to 50 quid ones. As the cheap ones won’t last a year, as they are thin and single layered. My lady ones got 40k out of them before the tope layer of the two worn where my right heal sits. That’s not bad at all.

Nice motor PM mine is a deep dark colour, I said I wouldn’t get another due to them being a bitch to keep clean for longer than an hour. But I love a dark colour.

Should be a little cracker. But I wouldn’t bother with the remap. It will be hardly noticeable. 155bhp will be more then enough for it.
