glens had to go to the pub

[Barry S1]

Has anyone else had problems with PH, Glen can't get on it now, it's fine for me, it could just be Glen, has he been banned for some reason ? he's starting to panic now and has gone to the pub :-)

[Barry S1]

I think this is the second day he's getting the shakes now, he might have to book in to rehab soon

[Barry S1]

He only has a phone not a PC, he said when he clicks on a heading it just goes white but works on TVRCC site.

You lot have had it too peaceful for too long!

Yes I is back! It is me, Glenrobbo the barred bard.
I have taken control ( well, sort of ) of Barry's NOOKie Pad thingy and I can now post anything I like with no fear of retribution at all. Mwahahaha! Well except from Barry when he gets slung into PH prison. Sometimes he's just too trusting

It would seem that my 4 yr old paranoid android is no longer capable of communicating with the new updated PH version 20.917 hamster powered software interface compatibilitittie PRO data uploader device modulator engine.
This has resulted in me staring endlessly at a screen that only shows a picture of a polar bear in the frozen snowy arctic wastes on a really foggy day.

Austin & I have sallied forth unto deepest Essexland in a bid to remedy this grave situation. ( This is my third attempt, I tried twice last night, but both times I seem to have hit the "Delete everything you have laboriously typed for last 35 mins" key, and all my efforts vanished into the ether.

So I am faced with a stark choice:
1) Spend a large amount of my meagre pension on a new device instead of feeding Austin's petrol habit.

Or
2) Climb up the mountain and descend clutching a tablet that will show us all the true path and the way to S-World domination. ( Ooh. I like that word! )

Or
3)Rely on the local library for my PH fix whenever I can actually book a time slot.*

Unless one of you dear friends can suggest an alternative ( but keep it clean please ) What do YOU think?

• For those denigrators implying that old gimmers like me can only manage it once in a whole hour, I actually did it TWICE in one slot, and that included the waiting time for the nice library assistant to come over and show me how to "Log on" or whatever it is you're supposed to do to get the bloody thing to work

So Yah boo to you

I do have one big worry now: If this modern age of built-in redundancy means that stuff is obsolete and useless after only 4 years, what chance do I stand? Or for that matter,what about poor 27 yr old Austin?
Scares the st out of me I can tell you........

I guess I'm gonna have to go shopping for a new pad very soon.
Damn this incontinence!

What's a library?

Have you tried factory reseting your phone Glen?

A library is a place where they have rows & rows of shelves stacked with lots of things like Kindles but made out of many sheets of paper bound into handy things called "books" that don't need batteries or internet wi-fi dangly thingies and don't suddenly pack up when you're halfway through something interesting.
They are also free to use and are nice welcoming places for us old folks to go to in the day to be warm for a while.
The only drawback is that they don't serve beer *
( Probably just as well ? )

• There is a handy Wetherspoon's about 100 yards away, but it does mean crossing the busy main road, which apparently I'm not very good at

They also have some computers available for public use ( you have to join & get a library card and book a time slot first ) which is brilliant if you can see the symbols on the keyboard because most of them have worn off and it can take five minutes to find out where the ruddy question mark is hiding ???.
And the keyboard may not be all that hygienic to use, hence my long sleeved purple rubber gauntlets. Can't be too careful.

I haven't tried a factory reset on my phone because I'm not sure where the HTC factory is located.
It could be in China or Korea or Malaysia or somewhere else far away, and I'm not sure I could get 97 ron petrol out there for Austin for the return journey.
I shall have to do more research on the subject before committing to such an expedition.
But thanks for the suggestion anyway Jeremy Edit: Sorry, I mean Lawrie
