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 !!!

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

 

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 🙂

What is an aerial shark fin?

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 😉
