Jolly good. Carry on.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
So your happy with the Samsung then Pug.
There was I about three years ago thinking I was doing the right thing, going portable and light by buying a Galaxy 2 seven inch screen pad, how disappointed I was, i’m on a very high speed broadband but I couldn’t believe how long it took for pages to load, when I took it out to the garden on a sunny day I could make out bugger all on the screen, touch screen? I couldn’t see it to touch it, definitely not for me, great for the younger folks but not for an old lad like me, never used the thing since, give me the laptop or desktop with a big screen, fast loading and easy to use and I’m happy with that.
Glad you had a nice time Gummy, I hope you enjoy the rest of the cricket and may the best team win.
I see Paddy Power’s odds are Australia 1/8 England 10/1 for to win the series, 11/1 the draw. Worth a tenner bet on the outsider would you say?

oh no my my we must have the rules to be broken sometimes - I loved the almost catch yesterday when both fielders went for the catch at the same time - now was that against the algorithms or just the biorythms that stuffed them up - they looked quite bemused03-12-2017, 10:09 PM

I need a more up to date satellite receiver box so I was looking them up. I get a lot of things from Aliexpress in China, very nice crowd to deal with.Sometimes I get a good laugh at the descriptions of the items, whatever gets lost in translation, for example the box I liked, it tells me that I can upgrade “My Softwart” and “Please stop pressing button for recording” “Go backwards if you want to get a time shifting” “You will then have to toggle manually as we can’t” “Once plugged in it will stop working all over the World” “Please come with your own wifi dongle to stick in”
I'm not kiddin'
Honest to God it’s a pantomime doing business with them, I love it.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I will give the Chinese full credit for their honesty when selling you something, they always point out the pros and cons up front and never any messing about getting your money back if not satisfied, something western businesses could learn from.
