Random Irritations

[PhilTheFragger]

Elon Musk and Grimes, the name they've given to their poor child being: X Æ A-12

And no that's not a spelling mistake or the forum putting random glyphs in place of words or pictures. That is what they've actually decided to call him, but its OK it can interpreted as Archangel ?

So “Gabe” for short ?

Pretentious nonsense ..as if anyone gives a monkeys

As adults yep none us particularly care but as kid that will go to school with that hanging over him, poor little sod.

Sky, trying to get a better deal/cancel and having to go through the same old games, just at 1/4 the speed of usual via a tiny chat box rather than a phone call

Like I said above be careful

The ones from may 2019 onwards can't use Google so next to useless

Thanks mate. I think the Huawei in particular I was considering was the P30 which doesn't appear on the list mentioned there. Still don't know if I'll get it though. Every time I get a new phone it's more of a minefield. Probably stick with Samsung if I could only figure out the difference between all of the 23 Galaxys.

Personal opinion, I have always used google phones. Solid and reliable, normally cheap and on good deals and no minefield of options to choose from. Plus they are generally regarded as having some of the best camera software of any phone.

Cameras don't interest me, I don't really take photos. All I'd be after is an Android phone, with decent capacity because my current one was 32gb and I filled it up with junk, and a cracking battery life. And only about £25 a month. I'm fairly sure one of the multiple Samsungs will fit that bill I just don't know which one.

Look at Motorola.......I have the G7+
64gb
Battery lasts
Used mine for about an hour today and its forecast to run out in about 1day 8 hrs.....

I have heard that they are good, solid phones. Not expensive to buy outright either and go on a sim only plan.

The wife!
I put a wire wheel brush on the shelf a few days ago, waiting for a half decent day (plus the time) to strip down some garden chairs for repainting.
So I've finished a bit earlier than usual today but can I find that thing anywhere!? I guarantee she's 'tidied it up'.

The worst thing is it will be my fault for not putting it away in the first place!

I have strongly considered the G8 Power because of the battery, but I have heard reports that certain tasks on them are really slow. My wife has a Moto for work and she dislikes it a lot.

The bloody DVSA have done it again.
They'd opened the books for theory test bookings from 9th May.
Thou0of people will have gone online and booked. - bear in mind that practical tests were suspended 20th March for 3 months
Well they've just cancelled theory tests until the end of the month.
That was a complete waste of time wasn't it....
Bunch of know nothing Bozos

I have the G7 Power and the only issue is it only picks up 2.4Ghz WiFi which is slower that the 5Ghz but otherwise it does the job for me. Almost stock Android and great battery life compared to anything else I've used. I have a Samsung S10 for work but for everyday use, I really can't see much in it to be honest.

 

[Robster59]

At the moment my missus and I are both working from home. If she is on a call there is a strict "do not disturb" rule but when I am on a call, she'll still come in to ask me something, or have loud work conference calls (in a different room and upstairs) or will be talking loudly to her father.

Here's another irritation - again on phones, someone knowledgeable might be able to answer this. When I log into my O2 and look at upgrade options, let's say I want the A51 - they say I can upgrade to that for £31 a month for 36 months. But if I go to buymobiles.net that says I can upgrade to the A51, on O2, for £24 a month, for only 24 months, and the data is actually higher! Why such a massive difference??

I believe O2 only offer refresh contracts directly now.... Which means you pay the premium to be able to get out of it and get a new phone

Buymobiles prob offer standard deals that's what I got when I got O2

Personally buy the phone outright. Many companies will offer pay over a year if the cost is an issue as the a51 isn't too expensive then stick in a sim only deal

is that the one they took the Lenovo P2s battery into? 5000 mAh or somthing similar? Having sworn Id never get a Motorola after the horrendous G5 then that would tempt me

because theyre trying to rip you off, bit similar to insurance policy quotes, sky/bt price rises etc etc

used to argue every year and get much better than advertised offers, nowadays find it far easier and cheaper to buy my own phone and have a sim only contract instead

Neighbours who are in the "vulnerable category", since Sunday they have had food deliveries from both Waitrose AND Tesco, a delivery from the local pharmacy, yet have still found the need to go out every day in the car and come home with shopping

The "holiday home" neighbours who live well over 100 miles way who seem to have turned up yesterday or today!!

Report them.
