Random Irritations

Generalisation.
We all do it, some more than others.
Because it's happened to me, it must happen to everyone.....
There are very few generalisations that are universally true.... generally....
 
And before any one says " well what do you expect" I know I'm in the Lake District and there's hills and stuff but......

With all the talk about getting 5G going last month I think it would be a damn good idea to make sure everyone can get 3G first!!!
With no landline, in the event of an emergency I'm left with WhatsApping Fragger, who's on a boat somewhere in Wales and probably doesn't have much signal either. Usually a mobile will pick up any network for emergency calls but my phone always says "emergency calls only" in that situation.at the moment it's not say nowt!....can you email 999?
Or do I have to rely on you lot?

I assume you're able to WhatsApp and access this place you got WiFi. See if you can enable WiFi calling in your phone settings that way you can call any landlinr of mobile device regardless of cell service., that way any WiFi or cloud services will allow you to make calls.

Not gonna help if you're out in the hills but until they get the balloons up they're discussing to increase coverage nothing will help with that.

Posting on behalf of Imurg who is in the wilderness .

He is about to get very hacked off when he finds out he has been trounced in the Fantasy League by Fragger.........again.

I can hear his wails from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

On the Llangollen Canal on a barge but with 3G 👍😎

Actually Smartnothing...I'm on EE too.
But my phone, being so ancient that's it's about to reach 15 months old doesn't support WiFi calls nor does the Mrs phone which is even younger....so, without sounding to grumpy or racked off....shove it!!
And the fantasy league is a stupid game but not quite so stupid as golf!
So there.
Yours
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere

Missing another day of golf with my bad back. On plus side had a lovely pub lunch with HID. Struggled with simple things like putting shoes and socks on and getting no better. Words with friends in x-ray and physio tomorrow me thinks

My back has been like that on and of for years, need the wife's help sometimes getting my socks on, I'm waiting for my MRI scan results, Doctors appointment on July 22, when i'll find out what the actual problem is, and hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Keep putting it down to just strains and sciatica but worrying more and more it may be disc related especially as I played golf as a kid with huge leg drive and reverse C back as taught at the time. Think time has started catching me up
