Iva, you should have mail from me. Apologies for delay, I've been enjoying the sickness bug since Saturday night, so I've been maintaining relative radio silence.

Cheese and ham toasties for brekkies this morning followed by take the dog walkies, then I really need to go for a hoon to charge the car battery up, it's been standing for 10 days and is struggling to start.

I have lots of drilling to do ,beef curtains rail to put up, pictures to hang and then pop into town to order Christmas meat from butcher.

Go for a Costa coffee, I heard their quite good, or MaccayDs.

Life on the edge.

Twenty one years ago at about this time of day I was just getting ready to take my "F" reg Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo to the garage to have its radiator replaced, prior to putting it up for sale. It was leaking slightly, most likely due to corrosion and crunchy Frenchism, but not bad enough to make the car unusable. Unfortunately I had to ring a friend and coerce him into running the car down there while I dug out my 190E 2.3 16V and used that for the day instead.

The reason for my slight change of plans? That would have been my then wife going into labour with my daughter. Happy Birthday Kiddo.beer
Congratulations!

Please, can someone explain Netflix to me, the kids and the missus are driving me nuts wanting to get it but I don't understand how it works weeping

The missus has an iPad and we obviously have a computer and a laptop, but can I also watch it directly on the telly?

Please, please, someone explain it to an idiot who is considerably out of his depth?

I think you need a Smart TV to do that.

I have no idea how clever ours is. It's a flatscreen LG one but about 3 - 4 years old at a guess?

Probably just predates the Smart TV age I think. Unless your Bluray player has the facility to be connected to the net?

If you have a blue button on the remote that says "Smart" on it you have an LG smart tv. Otherwise you will need some sort of box to get netflix/blinkbox/amazon prime video etc.

If it doesn't have its own Interweb connection, add a chromecast to it (assuming the TV has a spare HDMI port to plug it into).

I got hammered at the staff do on Saturday, walked home in the driving rain 15 miles because it was a good idea at the time, now I have pneumonia. Spending all day on pistonheads if you have any questions. My specialist subjects are self loathing, bitter regret and 1960's breadbins.

You don't mention walking back to get the car.

Wasn't there a Ferrari Breadbin?

If so, the Trivial Towers' Ferrari engined ride-on mower will pale into insignificance.

I/me/myself/one like an idiot, got a lift down with a known scoundrel, who got hammered himself and disappeared with a married woman twice his age. So really I should have seen this coming but no.

With regard to the Ferrari breadbin, it is true, 2 were made for old man enzo, one sits in the museum at marrinelo behind 6 inch bullet proof glass with armed guards. The other is fabled to be lost "legend of the lost breadbin" its said to still contain the old bds crumpets. The reward for finding it is shares in the new ferrari breadbin fxxk sake.
