  1. https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/pea-tunnel-2?p=15&nlp=&CID=UK&uu=3dad3a75-a32e-4db3-aa9c-2df0f18d65e0&tx=0&utm_source=channel_goods_im&utm_medium=email&sid=df965d11-bab4-4ffd-a0f7-823492fac085_0_20220216&t_division=chester&date=20221602&sender=rm&s=body&c=image&d=deal-page Is it just me that relates the idea of 'Pea Tunnel' to an alley round the back of a club/pub late after chucking out time many years ago (in my case) OK - starting with 'is it me' normally means Yup - mostly just me anyway
  2. Is that even possible? a bit worrying to be honest - how did it do that - and what else might be left!!!!
  3. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/dirty-dancing-grease-bottomless-brunch-23089166 Dirty and grease brunch?? Yum! OK - the actual event uses slightly different titles - but the headline is funnier
  4. Just been poking around in Word 365 I went into the manage account section and it asked me to choose an email address and it asked me to choose an email address my hotmail address was at the top but the other one is not something I know about as this is a refurbished laptop - that seemed to have been initialised when I got it - is it possible that somehow the previous owner's account has sort of kinda stayed on it?? or am I being daft - again??
  5. Huh! Anyway - Yup - I have looked at the browser version and that isn;t what I have - no browser needed to access it it seems like the proper version but no account as far as I can tell - I presume it is linked to my hotmail account anyway of transferring it to my wife's Laptop??? it does seem that I am missing something somewhere
  6. I have a problem Mrs mikeprice and I both got new laptops in the last 2 years Mine is an HP - perfectly OK but refurbished Hers is a new Lenovo - more power bigger SSD and stuff - because anyway - on mine I seem to have Office 365 - no idea why it just appeared when I first tried to access a document On Mrs mikeprice's it is not there.. I have tried logging her in with an outlook email account like mine (we both use gmail normally) but that has mode no difference I have checked and the WWW seems to say I must have a 'free' Office account - and I can share it - but when I look it seems to say I don;t have an account anyone any ideas how I can get Office onto her laptop - even if it means loosing it on mine because I would be quite happy with LibreOffice but 'apparently' LibreOffice is Totally Different and just doesn;t work - so I am told
  7. I don't want to go all amphibian but isn;t that exactly what the thingy that we mustn;t mention was supposed to fix I really cannot see why companies cannot pay for gas/energy at an independent rate rather than using the overall rate the same as Tesco are allowed to buy up the whole of a farms's output at a negotiated price (not saying that is fair - but..) rather than paying the current rate - never mind if it comes from cheaper wind or more expensive gas or whatever seems rather like it has not been privatised fully - but then I don't want to go all amphibian
  8. On a more local note last time I went to Blackpool I went on a donkey took me 3 days to get there! and on the same note A donkey meets a racehorse in a pub. They get talking, find each other to be good company, and after "last orders" the racehorse says "Why don't you come back to my stables, we've got all mod cons, I've got a fridge full of beers...." So they go back to the racehorse's stable. The walls are decorated with photos. "What's that?" says the donkey. "Oh, that's me the time I won the Grand National" "What's that one?" "That's me with the Queen at Royal Ascot" "That one?" "That's me at the Derby..." The donkey's thinking "I can't compete with that - this racehorse is a superstar, I'm just a donkey from Blackpool beach". He drinks up his beer and goes home. A couple of weeks later, they meet again. After "last orders", the donkey says "This time, we'll go back to my stables" They arrive at the donkey's stable, and on the wall is a huge picture of a Zebra. "What's that?" says the racehorse. "Oh, that.... that's me when I played for Juventus..."(*) (*) or Newcastle. Or St Mirren. or....
  9. mobile signal isn;t that good here which could explain it
  10. Apparently a giraffe can grow up to 18 feet which is strange because all the ones I've seen have only had 4 pedant note - hooves not feet - but the 'joke' doesn't work like that thought I'd better say that before 'someone' does
  11. Advertised and much loved and low mileage see - we don't even like getting the tyres dirty
  12. Oh - and this morning I noticed a post on 'another forum' saying about the "over 1,000,000" deaths directly due to the vaccine so I challenged it and showed some official stats saying the UK has about 9 he replied with some data - which was good but it was carp - relating 'reported vaccine side effects as deaths - which would include my wife's sore arm but she ate her tea tonight so I don;t think she is dead plus a load of 'reliable sources' basically a website called ********** (did type the name - but I don;t want to give it any air - even to people on here - who generally can think YEA GODS basically a cess pit of antivax and similar stuff 5G is apparently not popular round there I think I must have died some time ago and am only still walking around due to 5G zombie interface which would at least explain the typing and semi colons
  13. Old childhood friend of my wife's came round yesterday she is still trying to persuade her daughter to get her first jab - she is in her 30s also - she is convinced that she has got 'loads' of colds and the flu since getting the flu and Covid jabs clearly this is related - so she isn't getting any more jabs and quite a few of her other relatives are unjabbed - but not antivax (????) and she is a qualified nurse!!! sometimes I despair still she did have the sense to do a test before she came round
  14. On another note I have started to apply for some jobs and wanted to get my CV sorted out One web site had a special offer so I ordered 2 the car is arriving tomorrow
  15. Apparently all dogs have to have microchips by 2023 Stuff that - mine is getting Pedigree Chum as usual

  19. OK - I'll do it What happened in 1415???
  20. To be fair it doesn't say where the button in question actually is just sayin'
  21. I have always worked on the concept that if a pedestrian wander into the road without warning and I hit him (because it is probably going to be a him) then his head might damage my bonnet which I really don;t want so I try and predict if someone is likely to do that and do whateverv is needed to avoid the collision basically I just don't want the dents and blood on my car new rules don't seem to have changed that concept and as for bike - lots of metal bits that might scratch the paint - best to avoid hitting them in my opinion
  22. There is a lot of misinformation going round people are stating that a pedestrian can just walk into the road whenever they want and if a car/bicycle/bus/lorry/mainbattletank runs into them then it isn;t their fault which is total rubbish very very little has changed some advise has been made clearer - and the idea of letting a pedestrian cross if they are waiting in a minor junction and a car (etc) is turning in from a bigger road may be newish stuff about cyclists riding in the middle of the lane - and hence stopping the whole of civilisation - is nothing new - just advise to be more visible - and is specifically says it is for quieter roads and the slower vehicle (e.g. cyclist) should move over if a faster vehicle wants to pass hence - the car (etc) proceeds as before which is just as before - just clearer Looking at the comments sections of the Express and the DM (yes I know but I was curious!!) is almost threatening murder of all cyclists at times Of which I disaprove - especially cyclists on ebikes!!!!
  23. Had to change my password for a web site today I tried to change it to 'chicken; - but the system said it had to include a capital but apparently 'chicken kiev' also doesn't work
