Re: Today I have .........

Today,I discovered iphones don't send pictures. I just can NOT understand the hype about Apple products...they're SO very 'in house' when it comes to downloads or apps,it's almost like being a mason. THEN,today [I may have mentioned this] I discover the F!#?*\NG thing,no matter what I try,is not able-nay,is NOT ALLOWED- to send pictures.....because I don't have an 'iphone account'!!! [for !!!,read £££ {or $$$ if you're from the colonies}]

Nope-stick Apple up yer chuff. I'm getting my old Nokia back out and pootling off to where Apple isn't;sending pics and videos as I stroll happily along.
With NO traumas,'special accounts',or problems.

Oh,Symbian,wherefore art thou......

Re: Today I have .........

Have I mentioned at all that I hate you,and fart in your general direction,Jem?
I have had an ARSE of a time trying to get those planks to understand it's MY iphone,so if I want to send a picture I fkn WILL.
THEY say I have to open an 'iphone account',fercryinoutloud!
So they can STICK the bloody thing...my old N8 does a BRILL job.
[and it has a MUCH better camera,too]

ps.....I hope the Guinness mine dries up,you rotten sod.
THAT'LL learn yer!

Re: Today I have .........

Omg Pug you've said a few sweary words. I was ticked off for that on another thread and I only said one! Today I've again realised that sweary words are much better than being a horrible nasty piece of work on the fly. Nowhere near as harmless.

Re: Today I have .........

Swear words serve no purpose and absolutely no need for them, there are plenty of apt words to choose from, without the need to degrade yerself - its a big turn off for me .....

Re: Today I have .........

Today I've got to take my old chiming clock back to the menders, only had it home a couple of weeks. It took him 3 months to mend and service, cost the earth, and its still not running right at all. Grrr.

Re: Today I have .........

I've known a few people have a problem with their clocks when mended, didn't realise they were so complicated .....

Re: Today I have .........

Today I have to have a wee lie in. Then relax in the knowledge I'm off until Tuesday

Re: Today I have .........

Mups, I'm up to my eyes in clocks at the moment. The chimes on our Westminster chime wall clock have become 'sticky'. When I and a lot of others left our IT jobs some years ago, one colleague became a watch & clock repairer. Ten years ago, he repaired and serviced the clock for us - new springs, some new bushes etc... Mate's rates, he charged £50, but said that if it died, I should buy a new movement because it would be cheaper than repairing it. A new movement would cost around £150 today (Hermle westminter movement).

So, I've decided to build a 'Shaker style' wall clock with a quartz movement with pendulum and Westminster chime . Today, I've set up a 'test rig' with the movement to get the dimensions correct and ordered a fancy dial and hands.

Re: Today I have .........

I love to hear a nice chiming clock George.
This man put all new springs in, including the main one, and did a lot of work on it, so I hope its going to be alright. I've had it over 40 years and it was old then, but I do love to hear it. I can set it to either Westminster or Whittington, but the hammers keep getting stuck now for some reason.
