Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 11:26:56 PMNot a criticism, just different.

Mary tripped, fell on the floor
She got up quick, her knees were sore
Under the chair she thought she saw
A small white fluffy furry paw
It was the dog that lived next door.

Do all five lines sound the same to you?
They don't to me, there's three and two
Cos paw is 'aw' and sore is 'o'
In Scottish tongue thats how it goes
I'll say bye bye, goodnight, toodleoo 😁


Sorry Granny,   I didn't mean to give the impression I was criticising,  because I wasn't - promise.  x

Thank you Klondie,  but that doesn't explain why I am logged in first thing in the morning when I haven't been on here for perhaps 8/9 hours, but it all disappears after tea every day?
I am off-line longer overnight than I am during the day if you see what I mean.
Not to worry,  I was just curious.  Thanks.

How long you stay logged in depends on what you select when you log in.
I and I suspect many others just specify forever by setting the dropdown to that in the form before submitting it. The appearance of the form can vary between devices. This is the one one my phone (I logged out to get it as I dont normally see it at all)

I like some poetry, and yes we remember the rhymes from childhood.  I quite like this from a modern poet called Brian Bilston.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 05:38:46 PMSo Pauls's wife went and knocked at his door
But was told its not against the Law
So she told him a thing or two
The air turned quite blue
'Cos she couldn't forget what she saw!

(Law and saw don't rhyme with door for us Scots 😉)



Oooer . . .     :hmm:

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:14:07 PMNot sure when they came in for cars actually so it may not be most cars but I think it will be all new cars for sure.

I looked it up...

DAB radio became standard in all new passenger cars in the UK from December 2020, following parliamentary legislation requiring any new car fitted with a radio to be DAB-capable.

UK Mandate: The regulation, based on the European Electronic Communications Code, took effect on 21 December 2020, ensuring 100% fitment for new passenger vehicles.
EU Requirement: Across the European Union, DAB+ became compulsory for all new cars (excluding buses and trucks) sold from 2021.
Pre-Mandate Adoption: Prior to these laws, adoption was already high; by 2015, approximately 70% of new cars in the UK had DAB as standard, and by 2021, 95% of new cars in key European markets were equipped with it.
Legacy Models: Cars sold before 2015 may not have DAB as standard, though many manufacturers like Ford had begun fitting it as early as 2008–2012.

That  cuts me out again then,  as my car is 2014.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:11:17 PMCelebrity memorabilia usually increases in price.
Yes,  because weirdo's with money to waste want to buy someone else's undies. 

I've always loved Neil Diamond,  but I wouldn't pay thousands of pounds for his underpants.   :smiley:

Being the technical wizard that you are, Klondie,  could you answer a question for me please?

When I go to log in during the day,  my sign in details are already there on the screen, so I only have to click the the little  'Log in'  box.

However,  after tea time,  my details have always disappeared and I have to write my details and password  in all over again.

Q.1  Why does my log in change in the evenings?

Q.2  Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks.
