If you go for the Platinum upgrade.


Opt for the basic silver level and you get the Robert Hoare doll instead.

S'ok, but you can't operate it remotely via a smart phone.
Technical question Ernie before I splash out on the platinum version.
Is it "backwardly compatible" 'cos I've got a few old ex-girlfriends I wouldn't mind reconnecting with ?
I've given up with "Friends Reunited" :emoticon-0106-cryin

What are your thoughts on drinking down prinny Ave dj? I think I know the answer.


A few posters on here have seen my phone. 13 years old and still going strong.

Hated it when game of thrones was on, would say to my lad, you coming down to watch it?
Nah streamed it already seen it...
****ing hate that.
You’re still using that ****ing Nokia?
 
I remember the school Summer holidays a couple of years ago when I said to my daughter "you haven't seen Eva and its the fourth week of the holidays have you fallen out, she replied " no we message each other all the time on fb" I said " she only lives four doors away".

Hi Happy , Its Girty , Notably I'm not Ernies technical advisor , But to ease your mindful fears , No worries mate about the specific of the " Backward " applique . Your IQ is NO match. You'll have her licked in that department.
 
I bet people had the same whinges when you could have indoor plumbing saving you having to go outside, or could drive a car rather than walking, or any of the other huge benefits advances in technology or knowledge bring.

For the record, my old man still uses whatever the modern equivalent of Ceefax is to keep an eye on results on a weekend.

Despite sitting there with a tablet on his lap.

I use the modern equivalent of Ceefax, for news sport and weather, several times on most days.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
 
I'm 30, so I grew up just before social media hit.

I was 21 when I got Facebook and I use Instagram, Twitter and have Snapchat, but don't really 'get' it.

I genuinely think it's great platform if use correctly. Obviously there is downsides.

My biggest irritation is people blaming social media for relationship and friendship problems. It's not social media, it's people.

I love modern technology but I leave it at home. I don't even have a mobile phone. This is my social media.

I love the possibilities IT affords but there are just too many options when trying to actually get something done. Also, I'm fraid I'm a bit of a parasite within the host as far as technology goes, I consume it but it all turns to **** and ends up with me having to factory reset or just bin the ****ing thing altogether.

Snapchat’s great for sending vids or pics to your other half when you’re taking a **** & she’s shouting bollocks like “you gonna be in there all day?”

I am now wondering if I should mention to her I'm not the only person who does that.

My missus. Not yours.

That would be weird.
