        I never vote because of the colour of trh tie, always on which I think is the right party/person for the time.

        My area seems to be a bit 50/50 as we seem to bounce from Blue to red and back again. Or Atleast we have since I lived here.

        Liverpool is very left, though I think they fluted with the yellows for short time. But on The whole it’s anything but blue.

        Since the churchill and Maggie incedents, blue isn’t welcome. Though WC was yellow at that time. But no one rembebers that bit.

          Many years ago I had get taught how to give the wife injections for a blood clot. I was terrible at it. She ended doing them herself. I just couldn’t do it. I realised I was a wimp that day.

          I could probably do a pen type one to myself, but not the wife. And if I ever had to give myself a proper injection like diabetes injection I’d probably fail and die.

          Strange thing is, I have no issues with injections, I give blood 3 or 4 times a year too.

              Youngest woke this morning and has all the signs of slapped cheek! Not the worst as by trh time you can see it, it’s no longer infections. Just hope she doesn’t get worse for next week!

              As for bad colds going around. It seems to be worse than ever this year. I think we have had a cold and stomach bugs in the house since October. Just going round and round.

              It doesn’t help having kids in school and college, so two nice sources, and one lad thst is a paharmasist (just finished his training), so he gets to meet sick people all day evey day, then cos of Thr wife were in the ozzy minimum of twice a week.

              I’d like the temps to drop below zero for a week or two and kill off these bugs. I hate winter.

                Of course I mind. Everyone gets a say on their opinion. We are yet to get the tories clamping down on this part of free speach.

                Just cos you don’t like the EU, should we just all forget about the majority that never wanted to leave? Are they not allowed a voice no more?

                  You cure can, I think you download them all as a zip file.

                  Though I’d be sending them the oppersite way. Also if anyone doesn’t know about Google’s ‘dead man swtich’ I’d recommend setting that up too.

                  Also, given you have pics in both photos and drive, before you download the pics, from in Google photos, select the option to show all pics from drive in photos. The  Download the all photos zip file.

                    I’d like a final vote on the leave deal. That’s the only proper domocratic way. If we still end up with leave, I’d settle for that.

                    I wouldn’t happy but fair enough. At least we know the majority had has time to make a proper decision. Alot of people I know, had no idea what they was voting for, and voted based on lies. This can apply to both leave and remain voters.

                    Though I don’t know anyone that has gone from remain to leave, but know plenty that has gone the other way now they realise it will adversely effect them, and that the immigrants are actually net contributors, and not a drain like the red top would have you believe.

                    There is literally no upside to leaving. Non at all.

                    I know two people, (parents form the kids school, that voted to  get rid of the pakies (that’s a direct quote), I pointed out India or Pakistan wasn’t in the EU, but the penny still didn’t drop. And I know a fair few that just used the ref as a protest vote to get rid of DC. It worked, but at what cost?

                        I asked for new thermals for the footy. For 20 years I’ve worn my olive green thermals I liberated from Her maj. They have either shrunk or I’ve expanded. Probably for former ?, I blame for dryer. Lol.

                        Other than that I’m good. Also this Xmas has been relativly cheap in comparison to years gone by. Though at one point we had 5 children to buy for, 3 of which teens. Now it’s really just one child, one teen, and 3 adults.

                        The girsls are always cheaper than boys I’ve forund, and thd one lad that is a teen, gets his fassion sense of my dad it seems, and isn’t interested in names what so ever. Totally differnt to his elder siblings. So even buying him clothing is cheap. Well giving him cash for cloths is very cheap. Ad to that we have pc’s, and ps4s, they have phones, so Xmas lists was short.

                        My girl just wanted stiff like slime, makeup, and cheap tat. They most expensive single idem was a Google now for her room. I can reacall one Xmas costing me a pc and a ps3, when pc’s wasn’t cheap, and ps3 wad about 700 with a couple of games. That’s before you start on lesser crap.

                        So Xmas has been decent this year. Though I suppose the older kids now get more thourgh out the year  on loans, that I never ask for back, like help insurance payments and rents etc..

                        Aprart form the Google now, I don’t think any tech has been asked for. Though the wife hinted at the new Google now with a screen for the kitchen. Though I think I’m too late for that, and will wait for Jan to see if it drops.

                          I don’t see 32k a month too much for a person in his position. Its under 400k a year, hardly a fortune.

                          I recall as a kid finding out the pm only got about 70k a year (pronaly about 1988ish), even though a lot then, its seemed to low a figure the role even for a 10 year old.

                              Given that pc hardware as been really powerful since the original core I dropped anything above gen 1 is still a great pc. So there is so many referb routes today.

                                It may be 26mins long but trust me its worth it.

                                What joining the WTO actually mean, and how it will effect you, your kids, and theirs and maybe theire too. Also for those that bang on about soveranty, we are throwing away the soveranty we currently have, in favor of zero soferenty, on the most important issues of the uk.

                                This is project reality. Send this to all your feinds and get them to forward it to their local MP, and so forth. The guy in thd video is well regarded.

                                  Before the days of bookmark syncing I’d made myself a simple html Web page that I seat to the home page on all my devices. It worked amazingly well.

                                  Not somthing I think about today. Neither is an rss feed. I use my Google now and the Appy news app for that type of stuff. As I’ll usally read all news on my phone rather than a pc screen.

                                    There was little negotiating to be done bob, it was a simple divorce settlement. We treated the procedure as a political exercise whereas the UE appoched it at a leagal seperation, where both parties had a prenup mostly figured out.

                                    There is little to negotiate over. Ireland is the main issue, and that couldn’t of been forseen in the 80s.

                                    If our lot didn’t take two years in-fighting, maybe (defo) it would of gone alot smoother.

                                    All we had to do is agree to all the stipulated stuff, then sit around a table with all parties, Uk, Brussels, Ireland and NI and figure out what is best for each party and negotion somthing that didn’t piss any party off to much. While also making provisions for the departure. Like trade, customs, working visas for crutial staff to keep the nation running.

                                    All we did was argue about how we wanted to leave, when in reality, we have little to no say in it.

                                    If they wasn’t pissing about infighting and decideding which imaginery ways they wanted to leave, by now they would of realised what a mess leaving will be. Probably would of  pulled the plug in article 50 6 months ago. The pound would be up, and Xmas be a little bit cheaper for all. And we would have certainty back

                                      You couldn’t write this crap. The world already thought we mad after the referendum result. Now we are a laughing stock.

                                      It’s embarrassing.

                                          My pc w3as realrove decent P4 at about 3.6Ghz iirc (it warmed my feet), and for me vista always ran fine. Preferred it to xp from day one. Then bi the time 7 came along 2 years later, vista was a fine os, that had a bad rap from the ‘vista ready’ stickers that shipped on terrible bearly capable stickers.

                                          7 wouldn’t  of ran anybetter on them than vista did.

                                          I liked vista airo on two monitors, I was flash lol, (2x 800×400). Then I went to i7 920 for my next upgrade and its still going.

                                          I’m thinking of giving shadow copy a go instead of building enouther high end pc. Promises to deliver high end pc on a thin client over the cloud.

                                          It interests me quite alot. I just need to look into data protection etc and who if anyone has access to my data. Though I could do office work ony old first gen core I pc’s untill I die I think, and get some intrw low power pc’s and use a the gaming window.

                                          It’s waort a look at £25pm. Sounds expensive at first, but give you’d pay a grand of a pc, and then have the high energy bill, it actully could make sense. If the latency issue isnt one.
