    Trying so hard with this pile of shite iPhone.

    Really trying, but be positive. A year ago, this phone would be buried in the overgrown shrubbery, but now I persevere. Will these pictures post? I have no idea.

  3. IT HAS BEATEN ME!!!!

    Something annoyed me, so I searched "thin Android mobile phone" in Safari on the iPhone and it went berserk! It decided that the only way was Tesco's and so I tried to switch it off, in order to start afresh. No, it would not shut down until I admitted that the only way is Tesco. Not a mobile from Tesco, but start food shopping NOW at Tesco! It would not shut down, so I have left it somewhere outside to enjoy the sunshine!

    I am done with it. I am going out later and won't bother take it. I'll take the phone with a physical SIM in it and leave the iPhone to run out of battery. When I can be bothered, I will get on the computer to have a look for thin Android mobile phones, but I might just stick with what I have. I will call O2 in order to get a physical SIM if needed or get the current eSim cancelled or transferred, depending on what I decide to do.

    The only thing that is certain is that I am done with Apple. My experience is that they are more difficult to use than Android, with no extra reward.

    If I was less than kind, I would say, for the money, they are utter shite!

  5. I had to retrieve the piece of shit. There is an app that has got a ticket that I will need. So, I found it it and switched it on. IT WENT FOOKING APE! After stopping and starting many, many times, I got rid of everything to just have the ticket app running. I thought that I would leave it on charge, because I want it charged for Sunday and again it went fooking APE! I have more than 70% battery, so I don't need to be charged! Oh, so SIRI is so fooking clever now that it knows my plans for the forthcoming days, does it? FFS! JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!

    I did a search for Android phones with big screens and nothing came up that's better than what I already have. And from what I saw, briefly, it looks like Android is going this AI-I know better than you do pleb, route. I think that this AI shit is a fooking curse. I don't remember saying that I want my life ruled by spotty pre-pubescent fookwits pretending they are God. I must be in the minority though as that is the new way we are going!
     
  6. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

    tHIS UTTER, UTTER PICE OF SHIT PHONE THAT I RESCUSED FROM THE BIN BECAUSE IT HAS A TICKET THAT I NEED, is not only showing the top half of the screen. The phone wants me to put in my PIN and that requires the whole screen.

    AANYONE KNOW WHAT I CAN DO???
     
  7. OK NOW I DID NOTHING! Jeez, what rubbish!
     
  8. Perry get on your great new BSA and ride to the Apple store. They will sort out all your issues instantly, unless you have damaged the iphone by literally throwing it in the bin.

  9. Do you know any youngster that could spare you 30 minutes to show you how to use an iPhone? It would save you further weeks of spleen venting and undoubtedly reverse your opinion of the Apple product

  11. I had to have the phone handy because I had a Microsoft Teams meeting with my trustee. Apparently, although I have made about £30,000, I can't have any. I have to be patient and wait until the year end before I am afforded that privilege. I can add money, but not withdraw any - YOU NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY BOY!

    Good job that I am not in need. What is it with Microsoft Teams? Just before the meeting, I lost my keyboard and internet connection, so I switched to this tablet.

    I can't take the Beeza out because it's too hot (51.1c) in the Summerhouse where I am creating this epic -epically boring some may say.

    So, I can do Madrid in October, anyway and I'll do Barcelona next Spring.
     
  12. Glad your investments are working out. Its only 5 1/2 months to next year, soon be here!

    Bristol is supposed to be 31C, Are you sitting under a glass roof?

    How is your Beeza? Do you like it so far?
     
  13. Sounds like you have an Accessibilty setting called Reachabilty switched on. If you swipe down from about 1cm from the bottom of the screen, the top half shifts to the bottom. Swipe back up from the bottom to see the whole screen again.

    As with all things Apple, it's all available online if you care to look. It'd be quicker than having a rant and waiting for someone to help.

  14. Not a good idea in the current temperatures and sunshine levels, it may explain why it went haywire (assuming it was the phone and not you that caused it).

  15. No, the garden room is a timber roof covered with roofing felt. It does have glass at the front and windows at the sides but the back faces the sun until about lunchtime. I really don't know why it gets so hot.

    Really happy with the bike. I was going to go out on it around now, but after that Teams meeting, a few Tequilas have been consumed, so I will leave it for today. So far, and I've done FA, I am very happy with the bike. I realise that it is not the fastest, but it is plenty fast for me, seems to handle well enough and so far I haven't even put in any petrol! For the money (I think it was he KTM, plus about two and a half grand (very roughly) I could not be happier with it. The key thing for me is that it is low so I can climb off and on with ease. I was seriously contemplating buying that Kawasaki Eliminator, because it is like a lowrider type of thing, but I am glad that I got the BSA.

    It was a very random decision. We go to Fowlers in Bristol a lot because the cafe is really good and we where just wandering around after the cafe and there was one in red! T ied it for size and i was piss-easy to get on and off! Went to talk to the man about taking my KTM in px and before I really thought about it, I had put down a £1000 deposit on my credit card! There was nothing inherently wrong with the KTM, it is just that they are very tall (for me) to mount and dismount. I always had this thing going on in my head that I will get better soon. It took me about six years before I accepted that I am not ever going to get any better than I was in around 2024. If anything, now I am getting worse!

    But I am still alive. Have a new motorcycle and have money to go on trips. And even at this point in time, the DVLA doesn't hate me and want me off the road!!!

  16. 45.8c right now in my Summerhouse. Summer ️ being the operative word.

    I get told that I share too much, but I don't care.

    The staff at AJ Bell are so helpful. I phone up ready to shout and swear, but I am not quick enough to get the expletives out, before the problem is sorted. I know that in my heart, it's probably my fault anyway.

    I did watch a you idiot tube video about the Beeza and it was about complaining that they used stickers instead of engraving the rifle emblem. Very real world. Not how cheap the bike is to buy but ALL LOOK AT ME,FOR I AM A YOUTUBE STAR! Pillocks.

    That's right,AJ Bell had two calls from me this morning and everything was dealt with very efficiently. I should really contact my worried solicitor/Account Trustee because she worries about my money. I don't. Fing is, I want my money to go travelling now and she wants to keep hundreds of thousands back for my luxury care home.

    I am an optimistic person. Who doesn't plan. Nothing is planned. I never planned to live with the stiffs - a wooden fence separating me from the cemetery - I never planned to sort my garage out - err, it's not, so does that defeat or reinforce my argument? Screw it all!

    47.3c now!
