I have found a redeeming feature...the keyboard has a much clearer layout than it did before 

A short radio drama on my local radio station today. It's a true story about an event on Leckhampton Hill on the outskirts of Cheltenham which took place on Good Friday back in 1906. It's about locals trying to get the right to roam over the hill.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini moonie, so almost the same but mine's just a smaller version, my daughter thought the smaller one would suit me better. I hope you get to like the update better I'm a coward and I think I will keep on kicking it into the long grass.

Is it quite cheap to buy out your contract when you get near the end? And how near the end do you recommend?

Awwww I hate these updates too. But they need to be done I think. If you can, get your daughter to do it for you or someone who is more able than your good self. I just usually pile in and damn the consequences  

 

I am useless with anything technical. I even have buy the "the idiots guide to the Samsung Galaxy S4" when I first had it. Didn't do me much good though. To much of an idiot I guess  

I just messed with it until I found my was around 

 Everyone. 
Good Friday greetings to you all 

Hope you all having a good day. I have had a busy morning, getting a sit down now with a cuppa. 
I am not very techy , so will keep my nose out, but good luck with the phones 

xx

Mine would cost me a months payment for every month still left on the contract, around £280. It will have to wait for a few months yet 

Your contract "get out clause" may be different though 

Hi Skylark

I don't have a mobile phone so apart from posting links I'm not particulary tech minded with thoses either

Hi Skylark  

Good Friday greetings to you too 

As for being techy, see my above posts 

Enjoy your cuppa 

El, you must be the only person I know who doesn't have a mobile phone  

Hi El and moonie. I have a mobile but an old battered one that does the job. My son has an iphone but i cant work it! I have Orange, now changed to EE, have to say the signal since the change is not so good. Son is Vodafone. He had 3 but although the package deals were good, terribly bad signal here..

El, would you know if Velvet has deregged?

I am with Virgin Squiggle, I have noticed since the update that an "EE" logo has appeared on the top left of the opening screen, after I first switch  it on. That never happens before. So I assume that has something to do with the update 

Though Virgin did tend to switch too "EE" in the evenings and on a weekend before 

Very strange  

Ofcom's statistics have 93% of the UK population as having a mobile phone as of a year ago. So I'm one of the 7% who don't. But as I work from home and don't want clients contacting me when I'm eiither driving ot at another client, the need for a mobile is less than for many people.

 

Ofcom's statistics also show 95% as having a digital TV so 5% don't. I know people who don't have television.

No, Velvet has not deregged and was on the forum a couple of days ago. If you have seen any postings with Velvet's avatar blanked out and without the gingerbread man icone those are old postings made by Velvet. Velvet did deregister over a year ago and reregistered a short time later.

 

Fair enough El 

That makes me one of the 93% and the 95% then 

Yep, that's what made me ask El. Ta muchly 

Skylark here ! My mobile , when in town switches to T Mobile , think a lot of companies are linked to EE now

Afternoon all.

 

Flying visit as middle son is still here.

 

It's Good Friday, so why are there no Easter films on today?

 

Will be back later.

Hi Yogi, have a nice time with son. Havent got TV on so cant tell you. Maybe Good Friday a day for mourning as such , maybe films will be on Sunday, or Monday. xx

Talking about films, about time we had some good black and white ones. A good old Bette Davis one would do me fine! They dont make them like that any more! Or the one with Olivia, when she bolted the door , cant remember the name of it. Brilliant film anyway!

Off to do my hair, big day tomorrow . May be back later xxx

Yogi, the closest to a religious film today was Godspell on MovieMix but that'a almost ended. BBC had a couple of religious programmes this morning but the other Freeview channels didn't.

In terms of non-religious films BBC2 showed Easter Parade this morning (Fred Astaire and Judy Garland).

King of Kings is being shown on Easter Day on BBC2 but that's been shown many times.

 

Skylark, I hope tomorrow goes well

More like a chocolate house Moonie...
You may help yourself

I took Bramble for a good long walk after I finished that, the rain dried up after a little while but we both got very muddy

I'm Vodafone moonie, the only reason I have a mobile phone really is for the Vodafone Family which lets all my family call me and each other free of charge.  I just pay £7 per month and I think that's a good deal.  It's handy too to be able to access the internet when I'm out and of course in case of emergency car cover when I'm out and about.  Is EE a network, I don't think I have come across it before until it was mentioned in this thread.

 

Lovely chocolate house Summer, did you make that yourself?  It's very good.  Hi Skylark, I hope your weekend is off to a good start.

Hi all thats me done. My goodness its only a party for a 7 year old. But 3 friends are Muslim, so no ham sandwiches ,or meat. Plus a wee boy has a nut allergy so have been so careful with that . My head fair birlin 

But i look gorgeous, so thats all that matters  

Have the best of weekends. God Bless 

Skylarl, I hope the party goes well tomorrow after all your hard work

 Weird 

Very unusual Yogi 

Hope you are having a lovely day with your son and enjoyed your visit to garden centre 

I hope tomorrow goes well too Skylark 

Me too

 snaffles one  

They are lovely Sweet 

That's a new one to me Skylark 

Good luck to out, once again 

Yep, it's a service provider like Vodafone and O2 etc Squiggle 

birlin = spinning

Cheers El 

Well done skylark, that's a big effort and I'm certain the kids will enjoy themselves glad your hair feels good

EE is the new network formed by t-mobile merging with Orange, squiggle. I'm on it and it's usually really good

El, I caught half of easter parade earlier

Thanks Sweet  

Right def off this time, just checked my emails. So many want to give me money, blocked them but just come back with different addresses. 
Moonie you make me laugh, and thanks to El, for translation   Try going to Aberdeen and asking the time, now that needs translation, even for me  
See you all Monday 

Hi Summer, didnt see you there. Have to get off, but hair fine now after the Chemo. xx

That's wonderful to hear skylark I'm very happy indeed
