Not only that but I get free rego (road tax) on one vehicle although I have to pay the third party insurance so my vehicle costs me 50p a day to keep on the road, comprehensive insurance is £11 pm and petrol is £1 a liter. Life is good for a pensioner here, actually just got an increase in the pension to £640 a fortnight. YMMV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Got the new mobile set up so I tested the camera when we went to feed the horses. Pics seem a lot sharper than the old one, and the colours are more vivid! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just getting used to this new phone cos it's a later version of Android. One thing was annoying me though......every time I hit the side button to shut down, I'd get a popup saying the Google Assistant is ready to help me. So I did a search and found that others had the same problem. One guy was in a real bad way because of it! "Google Assistant is Turned OFF. I don't want to turn it on. Problem: When I hold the play button on my headphones, google assistant creates a notification showing how to turn itself on. If I ignore this prompt and later on press and hold the play button again Google Assistant Suggests (with a voice) that when it is safe, I should turn on Google Assistant. I don't want google assistant to do anything when I press and hold the play button. It is giving me cancer and I want to kill myself when I hear it." What you reckon @zzzak? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
