    See how easy it is to line things up on your desk that are all perfectly 'square' with each other. It isn't easy and you can make some good facial expressions while you are checking if you managed it :)

    A long time after I got my S2 I considered some anti-virus software for it. The usual free stuff like AVG. There is never a need to purchase that I can imagine. So I installed it, and, on scanning it, found that my phone was free of crap as I expected. It was reassuring, but all it really did was slow the thing down a tad, so I uninstalled it. But I'm not the typical user, I expect. I occasionally do a bit of house cleaning on the phone. I look after it. In two years of constant use it is still in pristine condition, inside and out. I uninstall stuff I don't use regularly. I don't install stuff that comes loaded with links to adverts or offers, and if I do I consider whether I'd really want to keep it, or use something else or not at all.

    I suppose what I'm saying is, if you're even semi-sensible, you don't need anti-virus or adblock on an Android phone.

    Floyd Mayweather shows off his cars and plane...money can never buy you class. If I had money I would buy a nice home and perhaps 2 cars, but I would never waste money on excess when there are so many good causes you could support without making a dent in your money. I accept he may give a lot to charity as well, but this seems so wasteful. And I would feel the same if he bought a Picasso as well, so it isn't prejudice against a street lad buying street toys.

    It's very hard to get viruses with Android. You will only need a scanner if you:
    1. Want to download apps that aren't on Google Play or another big named site.
    2. If you download torrents (some torrents are actually legal).

    If you aren't going to do of those, there is no point. As long as you untick the download from unknown source option (in the settings) you will be fine.

    This is why I like Manny Pacquiao. He earns loads but gives most of it to the country where he was born (Philippines).
    He also runs a country wide lottery to help the poor etc using his own money.

    And Amir Khan giving money to rebuild the school shot up by Islamic extremists in Pakistan. And being brave enough to risk drawing their attention to himself.

    Phil Neville, when asked for a coffee by a guest, had to phone his wife to ask how you make coffee :headbang: Amusing, but how spoilt.

    You have made me feel really bad. So much so that the two Rembrandts have now gone back and I have replaced the Bentley with a second hand Ford Focus.

    Loving 2015 so far. Sunday my car broke down, yesterday I lost some work and today my hard drive has picked up.

    Clearly that's coming in threes, so the rest of my year will be fantastic!

    Pac-Man is universally loved in his home country, he's the most inspirational Boxing figure since Ali.

    Hi pepys

    Remember Comet Lovejoy..? Well tonight is actually extremely clear in the South. Sadly, the Moon is blasting everything, but if you have binoculars or a telescope, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find the green comet. I'm off to have a look myself in a minute. Here's a star map to help you:

    please log in to view this image


    The numbers along the path of the comet are the days of its position in the night sky. Remember to look for those 3 closely connected stars called Orion's Belt [the fuzzy thing below them is the Orion Nebula]. Anyway, get looking because I've no doubt that things will cloud over. They usually do if I want to see anything in the night sky.
