Had this email today from an admirer 

Hey you're pretty handsome. I want you to get back to me so we can get together and start a relationship. Just in need of a nice guy.

She obviously already knows me 

How can a man be 18 years older than his Mother-in-Law?


Glad she's ok but if I got the ransom call about my M-i-L, pay up or she dies, mmm............................................

OK, time to turn to the foccers font of knowledge!


I have Hifi separates, these days mainly using either a DAB tuner or digitally stored music on an old ipod nano connected to the amp.


The nano is so small and fiddly to use, the wife cant use it and even I take a while trying to find what I want to play.


I'm thinking along the lines of maybe an android tablet wired to the amp, with a really straightforward music playing app that looks something like a pub jukebox does nowdays? Is there such a thing or some other solution that I know nothing about?


Been reading up on NAS (not really understanding) but dont want a storage centre for ALL my music but that would still need a display/play control option I believe.


Dont think I want to stream off the internet, just want to play my own music easily!


My music is stored on my macbook and I load different stuff on to various devices like phone, car, van etc.


What I first thought of was a separate that has a hard drive and good size colour display but that doesn't seem to exist.


I know audiophiles will be choking on their tea reading this, but the sound quality (using a nano) is acceptable for my needs.


So which direction should I be heading?

14.15 quite interesting as well!

Its time to change the laptop at home. You know how they eventually get, sssslllooowww and full of crap, so its got to go before I throw it through the window in a fit of rage

Always used windows (currently Win7 ) but not adverse to change.

Only used for home stuff, ie. web surfing, storing pics music and a few home movies. Occasionally a little bit of simple movie editing and plotting routes on Garmin Basecamp. The occasional CD rip as well (but becoming less and less). Got to work with iTunes.

Looking for something fast to boot up with a good battery life and 15" screen.

Should I bite the price tag bullet and look at apple stuff ?   - Reason being is I resisted iphone for years but once I got one it was better than sliced bread

Any suggestions gratefully received!

£29.99 to extend my iphone 5s warranty for a second year.
Worth it ?

It's had no issues in year 1 by the way.

Listening to it now, very loud!


Went to see it live a couple of weeks ago, best show I have ever seen :cool

Just been charged £39 to cancel the £49 WR policy with 6 months left to run - go figure!

Stuck the WR250 up as a classified ad and 20 minutes later I had sold it !

Well only got £250 deposit via paypal but hopefully all will go smoothly

Had to take it off as I got fed up with the phone calls and divvy texts

Taken from a motorcycle solicitors web blog             Wonder what bike it is?


IMPORTANT – If you receive a recall notice for your motorcycle please read this!

We have become aware of one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers making a recent recall notice for its well-known sports bike. Whilst it is quite usual to see such recall notices’ we have received calls from motorcyclists who say they have been injured as a result of work being carried out incorrectly.

This particular recall notice is made in relation to the brakes. However, as is common, a lot of sports bikes have an aftermarket part fitted and therein lays the problem. It appears from the multiple calls we have received that dealers have been fixing a known fault but without noting that aftermarket parts had been fitted. The result is that the motorbike brakes either stick, drag or lock on causing accidents.

At this stage we are unable to publish the manufacturer or precise motorcycle affected as it will shortly be the subject of litigation.

If you have any queries or you think you may have been affected please do not hesitate to contact us

Why is it we get attached to our pets so much.
Had to have my ancient collie put to sleep this morning and almost cried like a baby!
