The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Nice telly, but does it only show still pictures or do I need a TV licence to see them moving

You wouldn't need a licence to stream that race after the live broadcast was finished since it is on ITV4 not a BBC channel.

I have been clearing out my wardrobe and cupboards. Managed to get rid of Lots of old things that I won't wear again. Found some stuff that I forgot I had as well

Jeans?

Only time I've seen a picture that good is on display in Curry's or PC World. Buy the telly take it home and then get the usual rather uninspiring image.

Good morning. A lovely cool gentle rain is falling. Woke at 3.10 and have read and browsed while drinking tea.

Yesterday was busy, very busy small person in full Duracell bunny mode.........today will be busy as I've a lot to do before our holiday tomorrow. House needs a serious clean for one thing.

Heading up to Connel, near Oban, tomorrow for a few days to celebrate a dear friend's 80th. Where did that time go? If the weather is good we may stay for longer. We shall see. 🤔

I have been trying to update my details in the Britsh Gas app. BG would like to text a code to my mobile to confirm the changes. Excellent! The change I'm trying to make is to my mobile number which is five years out of date. It's a little game we play every few months.........did manage to change my password though...........it's now ihateBritishGas123.........childish but satisfying.


Time to try for more sleep now.

Morning. Well the has arrived earlier than forecast. Just light drizzly stuff but enough to need a jacket even although it’s mild. Just a gentle walk as I hate getting too warm and I have never found a jacket that doesn’t overheat me no matter how much I pay for them.

Green bin day here.

If you dig into the menus there’s usually a “ Display or Showroom “ mode that makes the picture more vivid and saturates the colours . It’s to show the TV at it’s best under artificial lighting in a showroom. You can enable it but the colours look a bit unnatural.

Don't be ridiculous. How dare you say that. NO WAY

Good morning all.
The rain has gone and the sun is trying to come out. More rain is forecast later on though.
I'm meeting a mate of mine this morning. He is bringing his dog along for a walk across the fields, which will mean a stop at the cafe on the way home for breakfast .
MrsP is starting a new online art class organised by our local council, so I will be out of her way whilst this is on.
Another busy day in paradise

Cooooooeeeee. We has a winter's day here. Cold, windy and raining

Stay safe peeps

Just back a 5 mile walk. It wasn't as mild as I was expecting. In fact, it felt distinctly autumnal. Quite cold, breezy and drizzly.

Re TV,s I usually dip into the various settings to get it how I like it. I like it reasonably natural and not garish like in the showrooms. There are sites online that you can get some tips for the best set ups.

According to the weather forecast we are having rain all day, yet we have bright sunshine at the moment
