I can almost see DVD/Blu-rays being quite 'cult' in the future, a bit like vinyl is nowadays. It will give you the opportunity to watch the original versions of films that might not be shown anymore.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Today's random court story. A guy got really drunk and also really annoyed with a Police Officer who told him to go home. So he did what anyone would in that situation........ He peed into his sock and slapped the officer across the face with it. This could become the new version of Killer Clown attacks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be convicted by a jury of his peers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ridiculous appeal in the States really throws me. I was at a wedding a few years ago which ended up with a solid hour of Beatles songs and mid 30 year olds going crazy for it. If I never listened to one of their songs again I honestly wouldn't be fussed. Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I always thought (although love stuff from before my time like the Stones, Tina Turner, Queen, Meatloaf or loads of others), but then saw that American wedding with loads of 30 Yr olds going nuts. They even chanted "Paul is dead" for a solid 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 A rather unexpected chain of events. Mrs Chrispy’s phone was out of contract and old and knackered. So we phoned Virgin yesterday evening and asked for a new one. They said yes and they would send it today. This morning, we had a message from Yodel saying it was on a van and should be with us mid afternoon. Mid afternoon, the phone turned up. We switched the SIM card, switched it on, transferred all the apps. It just works, everything, just working, done and dusted. How bloody weird is that! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a period of about 3 years when there was a consumer hex upon me. Everything I bought had a defect and had to be returned. So, I'm always happy to hear stories like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really impressed when I upgraded my iPhone, at the opening screen it says “if you’re upgrading from another iPhone put it near this one”. You do that, they start talking to each other and the new one transfers everything and even puts the apps in the same place on the screen, same wallpaper, even transfers your alarm settings. Very impressive stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive stuff. Android, switching from an ancient Sony to a new Samsung. All prompted by the banking app no longer being supported because the Sony software was so old, I think the bank said they won’t update anything older than ‘7’ and when we checked the Sony was on 4. So she’s gone Sony 4 to Samsung 10, and as you say, it was as simple as switch them both on next to each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
