Re: Rant of the Day
And a bank one. I recently opened a bank account and I was charged 5 € (fortunately I had another account with them so I didn't need to make a deposit or go to an over-draft) to be given the codes for the e-banking. Last Sunday I decided to pay the electricity bill using the ebanking of the newly op...

Re: Rant of the Day
The local quasi government owned power corporation offers a 15% discount on those who pay their bill by the due date. I do that for the last ten years but on the bill before last they omitted the discount. I wrote them a mail about a month ago and they ignored it.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
I am concerned that Capetonian is a bad influencer but I really love his comments about being an equal opportunity racist by hating everyone. I also admire Ex-Ascot for keeping so busy. Angels we had one line (out of three shortish ones) out of service for two years so please don't complain. I had l...

Re: Rant of the Day
I have not a rant here, but when I see a black person I think the term non reflective and Cape's comments abovr and I smile. Should I ever get arrested for a racist behaviour, I am gonna point to known members here for teaching me those wonderful thoughts.

I am glad the post appeared. Last Sunday I typed an answer to Ex-Ascot and it disappeared

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
À business meeting was cancelled early in the morning. Had two more and then I returned home with a short dtio-over for the weekly grocery shopping. I purchased an a/c unit for a friend - she would pay me back by January. And I am currently enjoying a beer with her and the usual beer buddy. Ex Ascot...

Re: Up, up and away...
Since we turn the conversation on the 727, I have to pay a tribune to that aircraft that if it weren't I wouldn't be here. Back in the mid-70's it was the aircraft used to fly the short domestic legs to Corfu rwy 35. Since I was a kid, I was given the window seat and I still remember the wing flappi...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
As I am supporting Mr Ex-Ascots request here is the picture of the lady doing the driving yesterday. Today is the weekend of the year, that the Air Force hold the open days and I am thinking if I am to go at a transport and SAR Squadron or a Fighter Squadron. The SAR unit offers some of the smartest...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
On the subject of food past its "best before by" dates about a month ago I discovered a box of X-mas biscuits expired last August. It was bought in November 2016. I consumed the product without any side effects. However a box of cream crackers expired in 2014 was binned soon after its disc...

Melpomene (/mɛlˈpɒmɪniː/; Greek: Μελπομένη; "to sing" or "the one that is melodious"), initially the Muse of Chorus, she then became the Muse of Tragedy.
As usual here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melpomene you can find some more info.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
The first time I am doing the laundry under winter time and I am curious if it is going to dry by sunset. I have to store the summer clothes and bring out the winter clothes and it is not a fun thing to do. The Navy has brought in the main port a frigate, a fast attack boat and a submarine for publi...

Caco I'm very impressed by sober October . I'm contemplating "marginally less pissed November". Will let you know how it goes! Dear lady you and the other famous female -pilot for TOP are exclusively responsible for running a dry moth at the very beginning of each year since 2013. However...

Re: phone battery charging ?
I have read the 100% point so I let it charge and I unplugged it once I see 100%.And I don't let it drop below 20% although I am told a full discharge should take place every few months.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
.. use a slow recharger wire and not a fast one.
I thought it is the other way around. Charging with a slow charger takes time and puts a strain on it.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread II
I was encouraged by a young lady to try my chance on a simulator of a drone. I was very bad at it - it kept crashing, I /it ha e/has no capacity to hold attitude and the damn thing needs constant care - I have an even larger admiration for those heli pilots. The lady recomended a virtual reality gam...

Re: Rant of the Day
I don't mind being told there will be a delay - last night I met a former colleague and I would much prefer spend the delay having a normal coffee with him and get a phone call to cross the street - literally the coffee shop was on the opposite block of the doctor's office rather than rush only to s...

Total delay was about 45 minutes. We need a EU 261 style rule for doctors.
