  1. Bumping " antique " clocks every six months , is not a good thing .

    But I worked out that having a ' watch for " summertime " and another one for standard time , is easier than changing , ' time, date, & day twice a year .

    one change on two watches .

    I wanted to go & live in Queensland .

    But , the wife's brothers thought differently,  and got me a job here in Sydney suburbs.

  6. " Specsavers " .

    Always sends us reminders. ( the wife & I , by post ).

    And, I have never bought specs from them , they did a couple of eye tests.

  7. Don't leave the discharge ( sullage )area dirty ! .

    Or the residents will get very angry at you .

    Hose it all clean ' before ' leaving. Even if emptying a

    " portaloo " .

    Been there, done that , !  .

    And WE miss the life style.

  8. You need a new phone! .

    A little off topic .

    J A. Said , some will find many services more difficult. 

    I went to pay my  NRMA  account in Parramatta. 

    But they don't take cash !.

    I then put my wallet away, & said ," can I at least cancel my membership" . 

    The look was dangerous ,  to say the least .

    Question,  how do they repay your cancelled insurance policy refund .

    without cash . Or is it money in their pocket .

    Not a bad rort .

  9. My Galaxy tab's A I . Keeps changing words that could have fitted in, but, then that sentence is not what I am trying to communicate. 

    So who wins .

    They ( whoever ) is programming A I . Are on a different 

    Educational level to me.

    If l let A I have it's head will we eventually make sense to one another.

  10. Have you tried the " New heat pump " hot water ? .

    The one I used ( in the UK ) had the switch in the kitchen.  SO

    When you forget , you traverse the house from bathroom through lounge to kitchen,  to switch ON .

    then return, soaking wet to that bathroom. 

    Great if you have company. A good conversation starter .

    IN the cold U K .

    ( good job they only shower once a week )
