Not used oo or LO for years now far easier to just Google docs then save to dot doc when finished. Quick skim for any formatting issues, before a last save.
If I start ij word I’ll stich with it witn the free version of Office online, over 360 (even thou I have it), just cos cloud saves make everything run far smothers.
Was she called Vera Duckworth by any chance? ?
I just stick my ssds to the bottom of my cases, with double sided tape or a blob of hot glue. Never bother with the 3.5 cage convertors.
I’m at the end of a lane. One way in one way out. There is 11 houses in total, the average age is probably 70 of the residents. No matter the time I go out, one I’ll all ways nock on the window and wave.
I think they are all expecting a zombie invasion, and all do a sting on sentry.
Plus you’ve seem my dogs, woe betide any unwanted guests. Give them a good 90mins, and they could luck the skin of any man. Lol.
They are good barkers if there is any strange noises. Apparently that’s what they was bred for. To sit on young Tibetan kids beds, then Tibetan Mastiffs patrolled outside. The thinking was if anyone got past the Mastiffs the little guy would yap and alert a gard.
That’s why shiztu’s are so good with kids. 1000s of years of breading. You could pick my boy dog up by his ears or tail, and he would just shrug. When my daughter was about 5, I’d often find her carrying try dog in a type of head lock, as he was getting to heavy for her.
Good job the girl dog is smaller and lighter as she gan be moody at times. Mainly towards the boy dig. Typical women.
If the Chinese see bobs post. They can happily send me as many 50p they wish. If the perfect the £50 note, all the better.
If the layers are reading, I don’t condone any type of forgery.

@dwynhugh out of interest (read being a geek) I measures my car door at its widest part. it measured 1.45m in length.
When I said yesterday the B pillar sits about 4 to 8 cm behind the front seat, it’s closer to 20cm, well over a foot.
I suppose as a passangers it could be an issue, but as the driver it’s a pain to reset the seat all the time.
Iirc older 2 door cars, the seat would always go back to a really squashed position, iirc it was a small pug, and seat saxo. If you was tall it would of been a real pain I bet.
With the mechanical memory seats, it only remembers the bottom, so if you want the seat to my closer to the front (Thr opposite that you would want), you can overdid the seat base by strapping the back, while not letting the seat base move backwards.
This works on most, I think it’s so you crush anyone tall you put in the back.
Our doors are never locked. Thevfront was is now time to to time, if we are out and we are expecting a parcel as he has let the dogs out once or twice. The back door has probably been locked less than 10 times in 15 years.
Usually only if we are all away on hols.
Having no signal in my house, sky Q would of been a dream 15 years ago. I’ve said here before, about 2008 I asked a top tier sky customer services guy about this “sky server” I’d read of, he said it’s way way off, barely a rumour.
By the time it arrived, I could get 80meg down so had no use for sky. Or any ota tv.
Iptv for me all day long. Also cleans the whole wire muss up some what.
BL a friend of mine has Q, and the whole interface is a mess. I never liked the prettier but less functional HD menu change. The Q would of been my last straw.
They you view menu is the winner ui for tv, a few use it now, so has 5o be either cheap or opensource, sky should of used that with a sky skin.
It just great, anyone can instantly use it. Just like the original sky ui.
Luckily I have a guest network set up, with a very simple router. It can’t enter the house networks, so it’s not an issue.
Its lights, smoke alarms, thermostats etc.. Or a Fixed ip for a minecraft server, the list goes on, I’) have to reccy the house so I don’t miss anythings. Not it all down, and hope I rememeber how I set it all up.
Another potential is issue, is some of the set up is build up over time, so it is likely to be layered.
That’s not to mention all the pc’s, laptops, macs, phones, tv boxes setting them back on like, but then also getting my router hdd to be seen on all them devices.
It just seems a lot more work, than it was 4 or 5 years ago when I got my last router.
Lee, I hope that’s not one of your pick-up lines. ?
@Clundy we don’t bite.I’m interest in a good replacment. My Asus is coming to end of life. It’s dropping out almost hourly now. Not even consistent on which device it drops.
Have been putting it off for about 6 months as I have many iot crap set up, I can’t with be bothered to re do, or simply can’t remember how to.
It is inconsiderate parking above. The owner of the white car isn’t even in thier own space. The chose to impede someone else, in order to ease their parking. If not they are just thoughtless.im not sure which isworse.
Also there is no need to apologise over having big doors. However given the GTC has 2 doors to cover both rows, against the passat 2. I don’t see how it could have longer doors.
The passat b pillar is about online with the seat back, a Coupes b pillar is a good 6 to 8 cm beyond the back. Maybe more.
To make matters worse the gtc is also a good 4cm wider than the passat. So it’s bad new all round for getting in to tight spaces. I
If you have a passat cc you’ll probably have longer doors. Iirc the cc would need alot of structural strength too. Which would make for a very heavy door.
A side note, the heavier the door, the worse the car. Rule of thumb of course. Go an try out the Hyundai competition to the grc/scirocco/etc, their doors are paper light. That’s because they have about 25% more high strength steal in their builds (right a cross the board) , so don’t need to lean on the doors for structural rigidity. Feels cheap, but is far from it. Iirc it’s the x30i (the the one that now has the gti beating ‘n’ spec model) Hyundai are the only car Co that owns its own steel Co.
I’ll swap you your doors on your passat for mine on my GTC. Not only are they silly long, they are very heavy.
I live on a steep hill, my wife and 10 year old girl can’t open then from the inside. I would drive down forward, but it’s almost impossible due to the angle at the top of the road.
Also the GTC is wide, so that and the long doors makes parking a chore. In a car park, I have to push my chair all the way backwards, to give the door more angle/space to let me out.
The bit that confuses me with this type of stuff is not the common courtesy of it (we know the world is full of c+*ts), but the lack of respect of their own property.
I drive as far as i can from others where possible, when not, I’ll eye up the two two neighbouring cars, always give the shoddely park or badly looked after car car a bit more room.
I’m forever pulling people in car parks that leave trolly out. I know it doesn’t help, but I like to attempt to shame them to not do it next time.
You’d think cars was a cheap throw away item!
We will have to agree to disagree on that bob.
Do any oems offer a 2 door car without memory anymore? I couldn’t live with mine if it didn’t return to its previous position. It would drive me nuts.
Also, have you seen that the new top end coupés are coming with electrical operated seats. Good idea on paper, but not in real life. It adds about one minute to the ingress l/egress time.
It’s amazing how often you drop people off in a hurry, if you had electric operated seats, there would be no time for flyby drop offs, or red light kick outs.
Something with having 4 teens happens alot. Though now one is driving, she is now doing probably 95% of the teen taxing. So my time invested teaching her is paying off now.
That looks very slick indeed.
I got a royal mail delivery notice yesterday saying they delivered my ccl order. I didn’t order anything.
I necked the links and it was a legit RM email, so I just gathered someone with a similar email mid typed.
Question to Dave, when you check out at Ccl. Can you check out as a guest? Ie not make an account and check out with PayPal or similar? And just put in an email for the receipt?
I know many stores do this, and I’ve not used Ccl for about 5 years, so I can’t remember/ don’t know if they now have guest check out. I always go for guest check out when I can, for sites I don’t use often.
I think the vcr confused anyone over 30. My nan was terrified of hers, my mum always asked me when she wanted somthing pre set recorded.
It’s the same now with the pc or even smart phones. Unless your into tech, they just scare you. And the older you are the more it seems to terrify them.
My FiL not that old, 60ish, just can’t grasp computers or phones, he isn’t a daft guy either, it’s just something he never needed. You’d think by the way he used it, there was a chance that his PC controlled nukes.
My mil is probably more dangerous as she is sort of tech inclined, in the way she likes the idea and will give it a go, but whilst never retaining any information you give her.no matter the amount of time you walk her though something. She is a teacher, so not daft either. She can do Word and print (as long as someone else set it up. Why she is more dangerous is she tries to do things, so her laptop is always full of crap. Tool bars, malware, just general crap, slowing everything down.
When ever I’m at theirs and need a pc, I spend the first hour, deleting stuff, updating everything, and running tests. Two weeks later, it’s the same. She was much better on Linux (mint), that I set up for them. The PC was always fine. Then she needed word!
I don’t think I’ll ever be that way when I get old, as like you guys her, we all are interested in tech, and as much as we moan about change (that’s our job), we equally love living in the cutting edge. The two should not exist together, but with us geeks it does.
Also by the time I’m 70, you’ll just tell the pc what you want and it will happen.
