Cue music....

Cue music....

I was thinking more neighbours music. You never know if ill end up living out your way, although zone 2 is a more likely bet.

And a massive clap goes to o2 and their massive mobile outage today. Over 10% of customers can't make or receive texts and calls. Started early this afternoon and still happening.

And yes I'm one of that 10%.

Yeh, heard about that from our real estate agent. Couldn't get in touch with my wife (Giffgaff, which uses O2). I'm O2 as well but mine's luckily working for now!

Seem to have come good in the last 20 mins. Was very frustrating for me...

Hers is receiving now, but now mine can't call out. Guess I'll just leave it till tomorrow...... I could imagine, hopefully they e-mailed if they couldn't get through on the phone.

First world problems......good heavens let's talk face to face for a couple of minutes and if we don't like it we can go back to O2 and our much loved Giffgaff in a few hours time. Lucky we have email and Internet !
Can you get it fixed by February for our visit even if you have to fund it using French tax refugees money??

. My wife has 10 weeks worth of Eastenders to watch on IQ. No wonder I can't program any of my shows, only have 3% left.

Congratulations to you and the lovely Mrs Flashware. Big step there.

Tell me about it, although I do get a few comments about rugby games taking 4% each. Has she noticed that a few days are missing due to the daylight saving change? Big blow in our house to be missing 4 days worth.

cove, I will most certainly try Face to face isn't so easy in such a big city though!

Cheers! Scary but exciting. Just need a few ducks to line up for it all to happen, but we're getting there. You know how these things are! Glad we didn't buy back in April now, found a similar, but more perfect place this time round.

I'll say!

Never seen a FOXTEL remote tweaked so rapidly and (obviously) accurately before.

Posted on a wing and a prayer ...

Saw John Carter of Mars today. I thought it was brilliant.

Watched it back in June ... it's one of the few movies watched in flight I remember much of the content as distinct from just knowing I have seen it.

We somehow skipped spring, summer and autumn and returned to winter....

Come to Melbourne and have all four seasons... and that's just today.

The weather in Pacific Harbour Fiji was magnificent today :!:

26deg and a light breeze.

I'm being slow, can I replace the HDD? Should I just google terabities?

Next question will be about using the USB to transfer recordings to computer?

It was better then I thought it would be. Especially considering some of the poor reviews it received when it came out.

Medhead we upgraded Foxtel into IQ2 and have a monster HDD with terrabyte capacity. Mrscove runs the households so I am just a visitor along for the ride so I am vague on detail.
It appears even Mrscove cannot fill the new storage that used to be jam packed with all sorts of news,sport and series from England and elsewhere.
So we went from 4% left to 90% available but you do lose your stuff unless you back it up prior to the new gear getting installed by Foxtel.

I don't bother with reviews. I want to form my opinion. The movie kept me interested all the way through and I can't say the same for some of the so-called hits.
