I wouldn’t trust an electric delivery service. My wife has a bag full, like carrier bag size, of crap every week. And 3 out of 4 weeks there is at least one mistake.
Ours do offer delivery, but i pick it up every Friday so i can check it out and sort it out in one go. And its usually the Dr fault, usually failing to fax (yes fax) over one of the many prescription slips.
This is why I’m dubious about the whole thing. Cheers ?
On the FB business page, i did try it once and failed. But that was in the early days of separate fb pages. I’m sure it has moved on.
Funny this came up, as me and the SIL are about to start a venture on amazon, through Amazons FBA set up. It will need FB links and mucho amazon ads. It started with a chance chat over Xmas dinner. Strange how these things come about. I may be bankrupt by next Xmas.
Posh people today seem to want to do boot camp type of training it seems, so he may want to look down that avenue to.
If you don’t have much web practice have a look at square space. A posh drag and drop, but you can code too if you want. So as simple or heard as you want it to be.
I’ve not looked in a few years but version 3.0 was very nice, i never liked v2.0. It’s free too for 14 days with no cc needed until you decide you want to keep your site. So you can make one just to check it out. Also it has auto sizing, so your site will fit any screen. Can’t really their posh name for it. Bit i think they was the first at it. Probably all do it now. Dynamic rendering or something like that.
Id prefers their current v8 sports car, id take the v6 if I’d have two. Both sound amazing. If you watch Grand tour, (good this season bar the last ep), they use the entry level 2l jag sports car. Which is still lovely, and they have it not to kill the celebs, but come on its not meant to have a sill 4 pot 2l on a fast cat.
How is your tuscon Bob, i said i had two in my street, both mobility, and they both that much trouble mobility took them back in under two years, they both now have Qashqis. Both loved the car to start with, both had many loaner cars why hyundi worked on them. It got to the point they asked to give them back, and they said, that mobility have had so many issues, they didn’t even put up a fight. Just accept the return, when neighbour 2 was told, she had hers gone within a week.
I don’t like the Qashqi at all, liked the tuscon more. But when your confidence goes in a car that’s it. Especially for women it seems.
Amazingly for one month at least in 2017 the qashqi was Britains most sold car, knocking the focus and astra of the top space. Usually it’s focus, astra, fiesta corsa. How dare these upstarts upset the status quo. Lol how olds nissan again? Lol.
My phone is suffering horrific lag this week, so my typing has become a real pain. So i apologise in advance.
Tell you what lee, i’ll have a section of yours ?
Richard the last time i fixed them, i used a dremel to make the cracks into a ‘v’, the Polly fillered them proud and finely sanded till flush. It worked a treat.
She has been asking to do the living room for about 6 months. This looks like a perfect opportunity for her to make me do the whole room! Or i may just leave, oh the peace i could have……?
Do them all but defo FB, most people don’t know there is an internet outside of FB. Sadly.
However you don’t want your biz reliant on a 3rd party. You could be pulled down (almost said ‘off’ then) night etc…
Linked is is a strange ones but only takes minutes to set up, and maintain etc.
Also FB targeted ads are very cheap indeed. And I bet boxers fit nicely in to a relativly small group when drilled down to a local area.
Tho as lee said, it can get expensive if youre trying to reach a broad spectrum, but given its a niche (ish), it should be cheap, and you set a limit anyhow. So no unexpected bills.
I’d avoid google adds, who ever sees them?
The epicentre I think was my fecking lounge !
I don’t know how the didn’t notice this happening (see link, as I don’t know how this forum handles down sampling)

The bath room is just as bad, but just your bog standard covings I installed and I don’t want you seeing my cobwebs lol.
Builders are renovating the old good shed at the top of my road. I wonder if I could blame them ???
I never felt a thing! The last one about ten years ago opened a slight crack I’m my original 100 plus year old living room covings. It was filled and painted so ill check them out when I next go in there. It isnt often mind. I was pushed out years ago.
I actually love basic small cars, bit I’m not 6′. And also around 13st. The ka is a fun little car. Far better than the second gen. The current one is more fiesta than ka. I’m yet to drive one. Also a 4 door ka! Isn’t that just eating into 4 door fiesta space?
My MiL use to have the tiny pug 105(iirc) the citreon saxo clone one. About 1l 50bhp, but it you could have the same fun at 30/40mph that id have in mine doing 90mph.
For me I’d love a feast st150/200. Outgoing model 2 door. Maybe at 4 year old ill pick one up as a second car. Only issue is the inside needed updating 5 years ago, bit as a fun local car, the inside wouldn’t bother me. Strangely of i bough the bog standard 1litre 3cly turbo (great engine btw about 115bhp), given it would be a main car, why else by that one, id want a nicer inside. But at around £17k brand new, a 200bhp fiesta with up rated under pinnings to match, i think the money is spent where it’s should be. If you can get one in 4 to t years for about £7k, you’ll have a great track weapon. Same with the focus RS with 350bhp and easily upped to 500 plus, £32k new is a bargain. (Even with its block issues). The issue with the current RS is its so so so much performance for its money (yes 32k for a focus that starts at about £15k is mental, but for what it is its a steal) the issue is i don’t think they will take much depreciation. It will be a future classic. Shame it’s 4 door. If it was two oh it would be hard not to “invest” in one.
32k is also cheaper than a golf R and very similar in performance. Golf is probably better all rounder, but the RS even with its terrible cheap interior is better. Ford seem to be way behind all the oems on the interior front in all their models, even the brand new updated 2018 stuff. Resting on laurels comes to mind.
You shouldn’t get me started on cars. I’m a massive car nerd. Since a child car stats just stick for me. Always have. This comes an issue when coming to buy one. Like now my lease is up this year. And i have an added option of motobility, though I’m still not fully sold on it. Seems you could lose the car at a whim. And the prices don’t seem that cheap, apart from the deposit, even the more expensive models is quite a bit cheaper. But again with out a full term guarantee , is the worry worth the saving a few grand?!
The hope is the wife one day get more well, if not better. What happens then, you give it back but your out of pocket on the “cheaper” down payment.
A decision for after the summer holidays.
Hopefully it’s dry. Ironically while we are out in his flashy, thirsty, posh speed machine I’m going to drop off my girls 2005 ka at the garage for an mot. So I’ll be jumping out of a 50hp tin can into that. At least in mine id of been half way there!
I’ll just have to not break it !!!
Why would you not have an auto with paddles bob? I don’t see any drawbacks. You don’t have to use the paddles.
Your current car auto will have a manual option, they all do, usually you push the lever to the right, to engage manual, then you puss +to up a gear or -to go down. It’s espally usefull when going a hill. I’ve found autos are a bit dumb going down hill and will gear up not realising (would be a simple fix too), so to to engage manual you can lock it in second.
The same for when your attacking corners when alone, you can hold gears and drop down much later, dropping two gears like you would in a manual. And then hold the gears much longer on the way out the corner. Also make sure it doesn’t randomly change mid corner and upset everything .
Granted if you don’t drive spirited around the twisties the last example isnt really relevant.
I like the paddles. However if I had anything bigger than a saloon, I wouldn’t be bothered.
Talking of spirited driving my BiL that left the Raf last week called me an hour ago, he just bought an amg merc with an auto option. He is a fool of aging fast, once expensive german cars. And they always cost him a fortune in upkeep
We are going to test it out tomorrow. So an unproductive afternoon is now planed.
That’s the funny thing, I’m 3 years into auto driving and I still reach for the gear knob going round my local lanes enthusiastically! But then jumping in a manual going down boring straights ill forget I’m in a manual when I come to a stop. Or will until it shudders. “Shit clutch” come out while I’m stamping on it.
I do love a manual, that’s proper driving, but I’m a total auto convert. Although I’d never buy, say a, mx5 in auto flavour, but wouldn’t buy a large car in manual. Right tools for the job and all that.
Though an auto with paddles is a good compromise.
Bob, my BiL last year asked if I would take his caravan to a park about 70miles from me.
First time I’d pulled a caravan, and id been driving an auto for 12 months by then, so jumping in his manual pulling the caravan was…er… lets say interesting. Luckily for me I didn’t have to reverse at any point. But after every long ish run id forget to clutch at round a bout. Or what felt like every one.
Not a fun drive for me, especially as his wife and kids was in the car with me.
It’s totally legal to film in any public place.
I do have a dash cam, if I drove for a living id defo have one. One on the rear too. The footage isn’t going to really help out in any official capacity, though it could. But it would be enough to appease an employer, that anything that you did do wasn’t either tour fault or was an accident. Some people seem to forget accidents do happen, all the frigging time. We all make mistakes, everyday. Even driving I recon we all make at least one everyday.
So as long as you don’t deliberately drive at something, I wouldn’t be sacking anyone, unless it turned into a trend.
Camera yourself up, and ignore the fools pointing cameras at you.
Before I started uni I almost tried out for my hgv, while waiting to start. The wife wanted a kitchen. Hence to say I have a kitchen.
I have massive respect for how you guys reverse into the narrowest and most accute angles. Even off you hold up my drive. I actually like watching it, even more the re run on my phone ? (jk)
We (i) had to renew 7 two years ago, not cheap. The post office has a service that double checks all is well or not. Luckilly as i drink with our local post office owner he done all mine for a pint, and in his own time. But i think its a fiver usually.
I’d defo recommend getting the local po to check it. I know two of ours had errors he found. So saved a lot of time him finding them than the passport office.
My SiL a solicitor signed the pics, though i can’t recall if thats fully allowed as she is related, but given we have different names all went through fine.
The game turned out well, though it was a boring 5 goal win. Yes I know how entitled that sounds. But it was so dull. The spurs game was great lived that one.
I’ll call time one the footy talk for now, as it will anger the rugby folk.
I don’t understand how you can still be mad days later. It’s just a game. I’m usually over the game by the time I get home.
As bob said above I do wish footballers respected the refs life the rugby guys do. I’d introduce instant reds for anyone, bar the captain, address the ref with out being asked to. It would solve the issue in one weekend, would be open shut case to rule on.
Within a year or so, crowding the ref would be seen as antiquated as two footed 50 50s are today.
Back to the rugby, good luck to all. I don’t have a dog in the fight.
Ive not rooted a phone since the htc 1 M8, probably 3 years or more.
You’ll need to go over to xda forums and see how well the WS phones are supported. I’d bet they have a little corner over there. With clever folk porting 3rd party roms.
However id advise against romming unless it’s a last resort. Once you had to rom to get the most oit of a phone, now you’ll no doubt make the camera worse, as 3rd parties only have access to the basic aosp camera drivers. All oems now have propriery software for imaging, that is private.
Also a lot of media apps, and others, including banking apps, won’t work on a rooted devices.
Lee will back me up when I say I was a big advocate of root and romming. It was the first thing I’d do with a new device. But the M8 was my last, that is when the cons really outnumbered the pros.
I so miss CM though, better than stock, and way better than anything Samsung htc sony etc…. Ever made. CM improved my Samsung and many htc devices.
Never romed a moto device or WF, the later because it had it baked in.
Ive been using a figure print scanners since 2006/7 both the dell xps1330 and the thinkpad x200t had one that was great.
Not up to the standards of todays phones, but none the less worked meaning you could have a hard master password set as a fall back. One thing I hate about my chrome book is it doesn’t have a sensor, so for ease of use one has to weaken there google master pass. Or at least did when I last set up my CB. Being they don’t break like windows, and need re installs, that was probably 3 years ago. There may be away to now have a pin attached to a CB.
One of my very few grips with Chrome os.
