Re: Absent Friends
Those of us living alone or enjoying a period of isolation might consider leaving an address where they could be reached if going off-line. Or in the case of Cape, an aircraft registration or flight number.

Re: Absent Friends
Or whose other half is not in the various fora.
I have thought of depositing passwords etc with my will. Could even write a short obit revealing who one is (or was) as well

Apparently a common modern request to Undertakers is for access to the body, and the use of a digit or two, to get past the finger print requirement of the recently deceased's smartphone!Pontius Navigator wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:02 pmI have thought of depositing passwords etc with my will.

Re: Absent Friends
Glad ricardian is okay - his posts are a real tonic on a dull day.
Not that I am morbid or intending to depart any time soon but taking a leaf out of a departed friend's book I have written my obit (for a RN association) and am halfway through collating significant photos of self from age dot until now onto a USB Powerpoint file. Our new local crematorium has large monitor screens and my mate's photographic history played silently on a loop during the service. They are a couple of things those left behind won't have to think about.

Re: Absent Friends
Needless to say I am glad he is ok. And the jokes thread wouldn't be the same without him.

Re: Absent Friends
So how many of us are on our own technology wise when it comes to only fora? I might be able to find some of Mrs PNs fora such as FB but is she in Mumsnet, Gransnet, Slimmingnet or whatever?

Re: Absent Friends
OK, Stroumbos, Amorgos, Greece. Or, Serala, Chanoga, Ngamiland, Botswana. We challenge anyone to find us in either location. One requires an eight hour ship journey then a fair old hike up a mountain. The other a 40 km drive from the airport then dive into the bush with all the nasties for twenty minutes.

Re: Absent Friends
Well I live in Norfolk, so it's almost as bad as Ex-A's situation. Rural, no decent roads and very poor driving skills from many of the inhabitants!Ex-Ascot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 6:33 amOK, Stroumbos, Amorgos, Greece. Or, Serala, Chanoga, Ngamiland, Botswana.

You only live twice. Once when you're born. Once when you've looked death in the face.

Re: Absent Friends
G'day Slasher. Well, when an 'olive branch' is extended, it would be churlish of me to refuse wouldn't it!
Besides, I like it here. Far better than that place which shall not be named!
Got your last e-mail re what you're up to.
