Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

It does...incredibly slowly. When turned off, it charges fairly fast. The battery lasts all day, so I’m happy with that.

I’m more concerned by a user base whose answer to most things seems to be, “Apple says no”.

The man from Del Monte he say "Yes", so f*** them.

You mean you don't rush out to buy a new phone every time a new one is released, or at least every year?! You continue to use a perfectly good product that doesn't need replaced?!

Madness. Heresy in fact.

Whenever I was nearing retirement I contemplated getting myself a "decent" phone but didn't fancy having another standing order for the monthly contract, so I've just stuck with my basic PAYG, make calls, receive calls,send texts,receive texts model. Costs me approximately £10 a month, maybe not even that much.

For about an hour, there have been a couple of weegie workmen outside arguing about their jobs quite loudly. It seems to be calming down now, but sounded like fisticuffs might be imminent at various points.

I'm quite annoyed with myself that I didn't have the balls to lean out of the window and yell, "JUST KISS HIM, YOU FOOL!"

Tooth abscess due to a fucked molar.  Face like the Davie Dodds. Emergency appointment at Dental Hospital yesterday.  Tooth needs extracting but because its so fucked, too risky without oral surgery (cant to this as they cant drill at the moment).  Dentist stuck a "sedative filling" on it. Waste of time. Currently guzzling paramol and nurofen like a junkie.

Doctor has just phoned and said she's going to get me some antibiotic becuase, and I quote, "dentists are arseholes regarding antibiotics".

two solutions:
1) plug in the charging cable first, then turn the thing off normally - it'll carry on charging in spite of being 'off'
2) make sure you have a passcode set to activate the thing; when you plug it in, the log-in screen should come up - if you do not enter the code, it'll sleep when your pre-set "sleep when inactive for xx minutes" duration expires
thank you for choosing Apple products - have a nice day !
Put the thing in airplane mode to charge. Stops it doing other things and charges faster.

I forgot about the days of having an apple device. Bloody things died halfway through the day and spent their lives on charge.

That sounds fucking horrendous. Don't see why, now that the risk of hospitals getting swamped has pretty well gone, they don't just put all the covid patients into these boutique specialised sheds they built and let the rest of the NHS get back to normal, with normal surgical contamination rules.

Don't get too comfortable. My old phone used to do something similar and sit around the 32% for hours upon hours and never move. One day I hung up a call and the phone went off, never to return. It would just go into one long power up cycle until it was completely dead. Recharge all night and whilst it was charging it'd come on, go off, come on, go off. 
Fried motherboard and they wanted more to replace than the phone was worth at that point. Enjoy it while it lasts. 
The last part happened to my Samsung Galaxy S7. I took it in to the Samsung store in the St Enoch centre, it was still under 2 years old so they replaced the motherboard under warranty. Still using it now, just over 3 years old and working perfectly well.

You have my pity. The antibiotics will work in a day or so. 

On the upside, I had to get a molar surgically removed and it was surprisingly easy. The fact that it got stitched meant there was no 'hole' and no restrictions on eating apart from a degree of care. Doesn't help you in your current strife but there is a rainbow ahead.

It's beyond me how George was never busted by Yewtree. Definitely OFTW.

Listened to a RHLSTP last night and one of the emergency questions was about which member of Rainbow you would shag if you had to.
