Random Irritations

Yeah I was looking at that but on the galaxy S10 the setting seems to be either amazing quality or slightly less amazing quality ?
I have the same issue with my Huawei P20Pro. Camera quality is either amazing quality or tones down a touch to brilliant quality. Sadly the forum needs bang average quality ?

Can't be arsed faffing with emailing it to myself or going on the laptop.
 
Gyps's have managed to still get to Inveness despite the CV, so though we will be missing out on many things on lockdown, being pestered to have lock block, roofing, poor gardening and fly tipping will not be on the list.

Panic stations this morning when I realised my wedding ring wasn't on my finger.
I knew that it, and another ring, had been trying to escape because of all this hand washing , so I knew what had happened, but it didn't lessen the panic.
Anyway, the wife found it, so all is well.
But it has prompted the question.How many have lost rings because of excess hand washing.
Am I the only one on he forum to have done it?.?

My wife and I took ours off a few weeks ago, she has taken off her engagement ring for the first time in 20+ years. We saw advice early on about hand washing and how rings are a problem because they are tricky to wash around, under etc. Normally that does not matter because we don't need to be quite so rigid but for the moment it does. Take them off, put them in a bowl somewhere and put them back on in a few months time.

On the plus side, the fact that your ring slipped off your finger suggests you have not expanded during all of this :D
 
Realising when you put someone on ignore that posts which quote them are also missing, or missing the quote bit. Ergo it seems like some threads now don't make sense ?

It was worse though when you kept seeing said persons replies in quited replies...if that makes sense! Kind of made the ignore function pretty useless.

I haven't worn my wedding ring for 30 yrs or so after catching it working and nearly ripping my finger off..twice.
I think the only time during that period I have worn it was my eldest daughters wedding.

Similar to my Dad, I've never seen him wear a wedding ring ever. I have however seen his wedding ring in a box my mum keeps it in and its completely snapped. She said it happened when he was working back in the 70s a year or 2 after they married, was working on site and caught on some thing, was lucky not to lose the finger so has never worn one since.
 
I stopped wearing mine about 5 years ago
I dont know if it got bent or something but it kept rubbing my finger until it bled.
The ring looms fi e but I tried it again last year and the same happened
Lives in my bedside drawer now.
Mrs doesn't mind so......

Mines still round, albeit it has been reshaped 3 times.

Been married 48 years and never had one

Wasn't quite so usual in those days for the husband to have a ring.

Have subsequently tried a signet ring but never could get accustomed to it. Only wear a watch, no chains, medallions etc;

Well, you can't gild a lily!?

Always used to amaze me how many guys when we were on tour would still wear their wedding rings considering a lot of what we were doing its the first thing id remove as to reduce risk of a lost finger.
Agreed. Until you've had that ring pulled into your finger cutting it open, tearing the flesh.....

That's when I stopped wearing a watch about 45 years ago.
Pulling a roll cage through a warehouse, another one coming the other way with a broken spur.
Caught my watch and rammed it into the back of my hand - winder first....

Strangely, when Ive caught my watch it's the strap pin thats broke before my skin. I do though wear my watch face inside though...perhaps thats why.
