The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

My iPhone and iPad use facial recognition. Wonder if you went for plastic surgery and a nose job if it wouldn’t recognise you? You can still use your passcode too so should be ok.

A walk plus cycle left my knee a bit achy so I had a little siesta rather than venturing back out. I might watch an old Midsomer Murders this evening which finishes at 10 and pop out for ten minutes after that.

Yes, my phone and laptop do facial recognition plus and also an unlock pattern. Facial recognition is a bit hit and miss though.

They will. Quite a few times when rubbing down or sanding stuff the finger prints get a bit damaged. Also the odd burn and cut. After a few days the skin repairs and all back to normal.

I think I knew that would be the case as if it wasn't the police database wouldn't work. It's quite amazing though how the human body reproduces itself after that bit of damage.

Small person is outside blowing bubbles with Mrs P. I have a well earned brew.

I've two sets of fingerprints on record. One done the old fashioned way, ink and paper, the second digitally scanned. Both sets are different to each other.

That's interesting. Do you know why they come out differently and how do you know this? If you don't mind me asking.

First set, ink & paper, were given as part of what is now the Viper system. The second after an open day at the police station, where the fingerprints were scanned. Set nothing off, wanted or anything like that, and told it's good as they're can't be looking for, or have arrested me for anything. If they had they'd be on the system. Said mine should be, and why, they checked and found the old set. Scanned them through producing a second, seperate, set of scanned prints.

We take our history too lightly in this country.

Most new comers want to obliterate our history as it does not fit their agenda

Blooming stent is driving me mad - still bleeding every time I pee.

Now have date for removal on 29 April - looking forward to it coming out but not the taking of it out

Big manly hugs from me.My catheter tube just popped out today.The freezing deadening gell worked wonders.Hope you have the same result.

Remakes never seem to be as good. Even if you watch the remake first.

I found a remake of V a brilliant sci do series,the original looked dated.Sadly it got taken off,but I think it's brilliant,I had to buy the boxed set,but well worth it.

Thank you Postie.

The frequent peeing is a PITA and I've been told to up fluid intake to 3L per day.

Do they squirt the gel 'up'?

Sorry this is a bit gruesome but hey-ho it's a retirement issue for me.

To be honest I have no idea how they deal with the gell.The nurse held the box over my chest so I could see she had taken it out of its box.I did not feel any touching of my man bits,I do remember thinking a few minutes have passed,I was then told take a deep breath.there was a sort of sloppy pop type of motion and it was all over.To be honest and not too crude I have had more painful poos.As I was asked to lay on the trolley I asked should I take off my shoes.One nurse said by the time you get your shoes off we will have the tube out,and they were right.If I can cope I am sure you will also.Best wishes.Honestly it's all done in the blink of an eye,the nurses were superb.
