Off Topic The Burly Arms

Playing with our new Echo and listening to Seattle Sound music.

 

We're now listening to Eminem. A bit of father and son rapping

 

Stan I'm your biggest fan.

 

What do you think of it? I've had one for about six months.
Once you're over all the gimmicks it's still useful, I really like it. It can be a bit frustrating now and then, it doesn't filter out background noise that well but I don't have many complaints.

Best tip I have is that you have to change to the apps it supports so I now use Google Calendar other than whatever I used before, I have Tune In Radio and Spotify Premium for music. I bought a connect kit from British Gas so that I have a Hive hub and connected plug and lights.

 

I didn't know what it was when it arrived but have found it quite fun so far. I'll be bored of it by the weekend

 

Unless you get on board with what it can do the gimmick side of it wears thin quickly.

 

"Alexa, tell me a joke".

"Stanette, STFU".

 

There's a be mean mode where it'll insult you, even tells you to **** off when you turn it off.

 

I think you need to have an affair Luv, it could revitalise you.

 

I'll ask Alexa.

 

Is Alexa just a brainier Siri?

 

Yes

 

No idea what you're on about.

What's an Echo?

 

Some weird box you can talk to

 

Surely thats what you gays are for?

 

Exactly that.

Basically Stanette shouts "ALEXA, TELL ME A JOKE".

The Echo says "Two fish in a tank, one says to the other, how do you..."

And then Stan Jr shouts "ALEXA, PLAY PARIS BY THE CHAINSMOKERS".

 

Just had a session in 'Spurlock's Gym'

nice to catch up with some of the lads there and pump some words.

back now...time to roll one and have an apple.

 

Thanks for you're contribution Skiddy

 

New car arrives in 90 minutes. Already had some gratitude from Mrs Stan. Will be looking for a bit more tonight.
