    Computer help

    Thanks mate, buy being a simple soul it`s easier for me to just disconnect vpn when necessary. Norton vpn is just as bad.

    Computer help

    Is podpoint the only app you can use at Tesco? I had a home charger installed in April when i ordered my Mokka e but have now been told July next year is probably the earliest for delivery. Thanks to Covid & Putin.

    Computer help

    why can`t they invent a vpn that doesn`t discriminate against certain sites that you`re trying to access. Even trying to track a parcel requires one to disconnect from vpn. Very annoying. I use Nord vpn. You can turn it around with a smile.:heart_eyes:

    Bedbugs

    My Wife vacuums the mattress every two weeks. Bedbugs is not something i`ve ever thought about, but now i`m wondering, as my army mattress never got vacuumed but can honestly say i don`t recall any bedbug bites. Where do they come from in the first place?

    Woolworths Memories

    Woolies Erdington. Loved the pig & mix & the warm salted peanuts. A lot of thieving went on, with the staff turning a blind eye in most cases, no wonder they went broke !

    I think he means they are assassins lurking in the undergrowth to ambush their prey.

    No birds in my garden....

    I have a great many varieties of birds in the garden though sadly there is one less thanks to a Sparrow hawk. I wish the pigeons would find somewhere else to do their coo-cooing. !

    Home made traditional food

    My wife used to bake for the WI & makes yummy cakes, but no way can i persuade her to make my favourite ( Rock buns ) I think that she thinks rock buns are not becoming a cake maker of her calibre. ( Hope she doesn`t read this ) I recently bought a Ninja foodi dual zone airfryer & i shall have a...

    fish and chip shops

    Processed cheese is a big no no. I live near the sea so the fish is good & fresh, but i reckon chips fried in oil is no match for chips fried in lard. And don`t forget the yummy faggots & mushy peas. I haven`t a clue what they put in faggots & probably best not to know !

    Where was your first holiday?

    On a charabanc trip to Ross on Wye fishing. I seem to remember a curtained off area with a bucket, for the ladies. The men went behind a hedge when the bus stopped.

    I use a 7ltr pressure spray with a small amount of fairy washing up liquid. It`s able to spray underneath the leaves & also able to reach a good height. Works a treat for me & better than using pesticides.

    What was the best Generation

    Can you imagine todays kids lining up for inspection by the nit nurse or holding out a hand for the swish of the cane when they`ve been naughty or having cod liver oil shoved down their throats.. Lets bring back national service & tell Adolph Putin where to stick his hammer & Sycle ( they don`t...

    The English Language.

    I watched an episode of MASH last night. ( Mobile Army Surgical Hospital ) Very popular in the 70`s & still just as funny today. Colonel Blake accused someone of trying to gaslight him, so i guess the term gaslight has been around for some time.

    The English Language.

    It sounds gross Stokkie, or is that 144 or maybe my income. I`m confused .com. Btw Stokkie, you remind me of my favourite teacher in my final year at Slade road university?

    The English Language.

    Perhaps we should all speak a universal language ( Esperanto? ) Maybe that will stop the French from complaining too many speak English. I did try speaking French in France ( where else ) but they looked at me like i was daft, one even asked me if i was German ( A language i could get by on )...
