Still on holidays.

Only 3 of those make me pretty happy, the second bottle of wine only marginally so.

I think the author needs to have tried military service, I can think of a dozen things that made me happier that anything on that list. There is nothing like the feeling of dropping a target at 300 m about 3.5 seconds after it pops up. Even my spotter was excited about that one.

There go my pretensions to hipster status.

Re: Who says share markets ALWAYS make money over long time periods?

Does anybody else use WeChat simultaneously both on iPhone and Windows PC whilst logged into same account?

I cannot get PC to auto post chat / data posted on iPhone - but if I chat / post data on PC it auto posts onto iPhone - must be a setting somewhere but cannot for the life of me find it.

Not sure if this is what you mean: once you log the pc off or lose connection with the phone, the chat history disappears from the pc, even though it stays on the phone. Next time you log the pc on all of the chats come up blank.
I use it on mac & macbook where it has limited functions compared to the phone (no Moments or Me, just current conversations and contacts)
When both devices are logged on, I rarely have any issues with auto-posting to both, but only the current chats will post to the computer, nothing earlier than when the computer was logged on for that session.
I presumed that this was just the limited functionality of the mobile-based app.

YES 100% the problem - surely there must be a fix for this. BUt when I log off computer and log back on - chat history I created on computer still there - just does not update chat history created on iPhone.

Fremantle has the best chance.

Well I won't be too unhappy if West Coast were 2nd to Fremantle, Nat Fyfe is still a good chance for the Brownlow.

What makes men happy ??

Here is the list - Ten little things that make men ridiculously happy

Some of these are a bit odd,
1. Another Facebook friend, check, given up with tweeter; I don't want people I don't know following me.
2. All AFFers can agree with upgrades, check.
3. Same with airport lounges, check.
4. New technology, check, a new Iphone, cars with reversing cameras are also pretty cool, although it is a weird feeling when someone is buzzing showing new things, especially technology.
5. Instant books don't do it for me, the real book for me.
6. Green Juice, meh, can't think of any time I have had something green and really liked it, I did have to google another fruit and realized it wasn't green.
7. 2nd bottle of wine; check means that you are enjoying the friends and surrounds you have and don't need to be anywhere.
8. TV not really but it does it for others.
9. Noticing you lost weight, check, although I have never had that much to lose anyway.
10. Shopping; meh; depends on the item, unless its technology then see above.

Yes I should get back to work.

All you have to do in all these cases is first check the url. This one is obviously fake for "vivalavie.com.br/images/vsepfav.php"

Mrsdrron got one last night from QFF.It asked her to change her password.That gave the game away as QFF uses a PIN.

Not always means it's not a real letter as below.

"The National Westminster Bank admitted last month that it keeps
personal information about its customers-such as their political
affiliation-on computer. But now Computer Weekly reveals that a
financial institution, sadly unnamed, has gone one better and moved
into the realm of personal abuse.
The institution decided to mailshot 2000 of its richest customers,
inviting them to buy extra services. One of its computer programmers
wrote a program to search through its databases and select its
customers automatically. He tested the program with an imaginary
customer called Rich cough.
Unfortunately, an error resulted in all 2000 letters being addressed
"Dear Rich cough". The luckless programmer was subsequently sacked."

I think AFF is a form of social media, and you have been pretty active in it JohnK.

I need neither of those. The magic words for me to delete an email are "follow this link and log in to reset/verify/whatever your account". No legitimate email will have that, even if it is from the real company. delete delete delete
