Cant fault the dash cams when they work in your favour, my daughter had a real easy claim after someone pulled out of a junction into the side of her car and then tried to blame her for it. Just remember to hide them if you've been a cock 

I had one of mine "borrowed" by the Police after I witnessed a double fatal accident. Mine and another guys dashcam footage was used to prosecute the driver that caused the accident.  He ended up doing time for it! 

It has been pissing down for nearly 3 days now, but God knows we needed some rain. The guys in the boulangerie were asking us this morning if we were going to drink our coffees on the terrace. Even the French take the piss out of us now!

Tried phoning the DWP to make sure that my UK pension starts in August. What a waste of time that was. No one available right now, phone back after 2pm. Phoned back after 2pm, no one available today, try phoning back on another day! Useless twats! Too busy trying to get people who've been signed off sick back to work!

Did I mention that my eldest son dated Don Airey's granddaughter? They're still good friends. He's met Don a few times and says that Don's a really nice guy. 

When marketing was honest!

Happy birthday Pete. Fuck me you're old!

Not the best start to the week. Mandy just messaged me to say that her old boss in the UK died at the weekend. No details yet, but he was a month younger than me. He and his new partner were due to come over and stay with us for a weekend at the beginning of June. He was also my boss when I worked at that company, so I've known him for 25 years. We're both pretty shocked. As a boss he was one of the good ones and was a decent bloke too!

I do but couldn't pay for it.    I want to keep the Hornet, but an old CBF1000 could fit the bill, or even a Dullville.     Who am I kidding not going to happen.  

An old V-Strom 650? Cheap as chips.

Actually I have 2 Commodore64 

Just found a picture I took with the iPhone7.

I had one with the floppy disk drive too! It has long since disappeared.

Well, it has been pissing it down all day today, but we certainly needed some rain! The forecast for the week is looking pretty similar too. So, no bike action for me this week by the looks of it. Then we're over in blighty for a bit over a week, visiting family, so no bike action then either!

Yeah but is was piss poor coffee .   Got too used to the good stuff now.   

Oh, yeah, for sure the coffee is better in the Costas, but a couple of coffees a day and you're looking at serious money! I did actually resort to making some coffee in a flask and taking that with me to drink in the car eventually.

You do need an icloud account to use most stuff which is free but if you want to purchase apps and use apple pay you do have to register a card.    I have never had an issue though all secure, no different to Internet banking.

I  have spent an hour getting Spotify and sms texts to work on this fucking Andriod.  I  have got there now but it was way harder than need be.    

It's what you're used to. I can find my way around my android phone pretty smartish. I'd struggle on an iPhone.

Must admit whenever we get a coffee at work the clinician is always in the chair to pay, but to be fair they do earn 4 x what I do.  I don't take the piss but that's just how it is with Kernow Health.  

Long gone are the old WRVS shops, where you could get a coffee and bun for a couple of quid!

Cooling off after a round trip to Costa with my youngest.   Most expensive chain lube I didn’t get.    Only popped out for lube but they never had any so then the Costa monkey was in want.    To be fair she is good company but it always seems to cost me.  

 

Nice one. Was there a specific brand of chain lube that you were after?

I should have shares in Costa! Often the only place to get a coffee in the hospitals as a visitor when I was working! Used to cost me a fortune,  especially when I had a colleague with me! Somehow it always seemed to be down to me to buy the coffees and buns!

Its Apple Music now but I don't use it, I did but much prefer Spotify.  

I'm no fan of Spotify either. I did try to use it for a while, but gave up on it. All the adverts just got on my t*ts. I tend to use Internet radio stations now. The ones I use have fewer ads, but my musical taste is less mainstream, so I guess the advertisers go for the more popular stations. 

Do you still need an Apple Music account to use the phone, or have they moved away from that now?

Lemon drizzle cake wot I baked today!

You won't covert me I am afraid I have been using Apple stuff since 2006 too old to change now.     Thing is I still have my Mac Book Pro from 2006 and it still works as it should.  It's good quality stuff that just works, with the exception for the fucking Honda Roadsync App and that is down to Apple being twats about the Codecs or so I have been told.  

Sounds familiar. 

I resent having to open an iTunes account and having to give them a valid credit card details in order to be able to use their stuff! NO! Just No!
