And I'll start

What is it about elderly people and technology! Arrrgh. I go down to see my Grand-dad on Saturday (86years old). He has a nice 32 inch freeview HD tv, but refuses to turn it on until 6pm. Even though he gets bored on his own during the day, and quite often just sits and snoozes in the chair. Reason why he wont turn it on sooner (even if it would keep him occupied) - Is because it has always been that way.

Wont watch any channel other than BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, and Channel 4. I turned it on when I was there, but he wouldnt let me show him any of the other channels that freeview has to offer. Reason - In case i broke it, and wont work when I leave, as well as that he has always only watched those 4 channels. No amount of telling him that you cannot break the tv by going to another channel !!!

Arrrrgh

Now, I have been waiting 12 hours to say this - FAIL FAIL FAIL - Rule 1

I thought, No im not going to break my own rule just to satisfy my curiosity - However I am intrigued on what you was going to say. So please please please say it !! LOL

Sad to say though, my grandad is in hospital at the moment, Heart issues. Not major thankfully, but was expecting him released today, but didnt happen.

Oh I forgot to say, I went to Coventry on Saturday. Thought I'd pop into the Sony Store whilst I was there and passing. IT'S CLOSED DOWN. Such a pity. The guys in there were a great bunch. I had a great long chat with them once, over an hour about all sorts!. Not like the store in Bristol (Cabbot Circus) - Went in there once and never again, unwelcoming/unfriendly and unhelpful (that was 2011). Glad to say though the Milton Keynes store was very friendly.

Sorry to hear your dad isn't well .....

Oh, and I'd like to point out that I play by the rules 😉

Anyway, the reason I'm still on the net is because I've been researching aerial shark fins, and finally found one that wasn't going to break the bank, so just hit the buy button B-) so excited 🙂

Im up most nights until 2 to 3am !

What is an aerial shark fin?

Oh, and please forgive me if Im wrong here - I have you pictured as a female?

If so, please please please do NOT put those stupid eyelashs on the headlights of your nice car !

Re: The Past Midnight Thread

faithx — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 00:03:11 GMT

hahaha, love it, you've made my day lol

Ok, I'll answer one at a time:

I work nights, so quite often you'll find me lurking in the small hours.

The aerial shark fin is a mod for my car, to take it from looking like a bumper car:

You picture right, I am in fact a female 🙂

And in answer to your last question, I am probably not your typical female car owner, therefore no worries here about pansying it up 😉

ahhhhh, I see how the fin goes now. I took it literally, as in - some type of add-on to the radio's aerial

So, it's that time again. Night shifts really do mess up your internal clock.

Have had a fab weekend driving around the country with other GT86 fanatics, so thought I would spend the early hours editing some photos. Really loving the panoramic shots taken on my NEX-5, great for photographing a line-up of cars

Love the panoramic view and can zoom in quite well too.

Never in the course of human history has such a travesty occured - I will not be getting a PS4 this year

Put my car in for an MOT, and cost me more than what I can afford.

I'm sorry to hear of your "travesty" 😞

Oh dear, cars do have a habit of draining all your cash, I've just purchased some more stuff from the US, and even the postage is extortionate 😞

But on a happier note, I have started loading some pretty call music on my Sony swimming Walkman, and hoped to test it out tomorrow, but quite fancy going to the London Dungeons instead 🙂

My bugbear of the week.

I HATE the BBC using the term "hotting up" when refering to the weather. There is no such thing. Theres warming up, temperature is rising etc etc.

I dont want the BBC to talk with a plum in the mouth, but would like correct English at least.

I think im destined to NEVER get fibre. BT Openreach delayed it another 6 months. March 2014 now for my area, I wouldnt hold my breath though.

Been playing GTA V this evening. I go up the cablecar, and do a suicidal jump-dive off the cliff. Tells me "Wasted" LOL

Oh and been browsing for routers as well, looking at the 5ghz AC1300 lot. So where are the USB wireless adaptors to suit the new AC standard @1300mb/s - non existant. The wifi is begining to get really crowded where I live, and affecting speeds. We have had many older people move out recently (who dont have the 'net), to be replaced with the younger generation (who do have the 'net). Ahhhhh

I want to put an axe through my router! Why you ask - It would make me feel better.

Constant broadband drop-outs, especially today. SNR Margin keeps dropping to the negative (hence the drop-outs), then reconnects itself and a lower speed. A few weeks ago, I was getting +19,000 downstream sync rate. Now im on 8,000ish. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've just been playing Battlefield 4 on Playstation. Very good! I was telling Lee, some of the best Audio I've heard in a game.
