I have to admit it would drive me potty. I'd feel a bit miserable every time I looked at it.

Ditto, tbh.:o

I think it has a football team but am extremely hazy as to where the country actually is.



Can you connect it up to charge as you drive along? Macputer would be car 12V socket (aka cig lighter socket) to USB adaptor, USB to macputer cable. Satnav should be similar.

Phoned my aunt to arrange to meet for lunch in a few week's time. Talked for 45 min until my phone battery about to die. She is as much of a talker as I am. Last time we talked she was in hospital and we talked until the nurses chucked me out for the end of visiting time.

Sat nave has a weird charger. We have broken a couple ( our fault entirely). My best best would be using hospital to get online to reroute but not reliable

I'd like to take as many 'possibles' out of equation because keeps be calmer. Now I am aware I get frazzled heart rates I feel a sort of reverence to pander to it til we have some control over it.

San Migal - the lager.

I feel like I have, but I'm not sure that's physically possible.

Mine's been plumbed into the radio on the last 2 cars I've owned as a factory option, but on my first S-Max I had a Tomtom, which if memory serves me right, I could charge a Motorola phone from. I use Garmin now as a backup, and have only used it in Georgia, so whilst it's in the glovebox, I can't remember what the charger looks like.

If they work, I think I'd leave them alone.

But think of the embarrassment in glove shops.:eek:

It's an excess of men - so Masomnia is far better off avoiding China and India!

He needs to get to London where single women outnumber men. Other big cities are also better but small towns not so good.

So, picture the scene. You're a student at university. You're worried about student loans/fees/debts. Older brother has a well paid job in London, & is fairly minted. You have conversations about money & debts & your worries. Older brother issues a challenge:

Remain in the Library at university for 6 weeks. You can leave for 45 minutes of each day to wash & change clothes. 23 hours 15 mins every day must be spent in the library. You use that to study, work hard. Complete this for 6 weeks, & pass your degree, & I'll pay off all your student debts in full.

A worthy challenge. What a fab idea!

I take it that library doesn't have a bylaw stating that your patrons aren't allowed to sleep there... it's a very common library bylaw. Mostly to stop drunks falling asleep and weeing over the chairs.

Who are you representing?

I don't think the Scandinavian songs are strong enough TBH, even though Denmark has Bruno Mars's Danish brother and Sweden is ok, and Iceland... well, I didn't think they'd make it to the next stage.

Hungary and Armenia were the best songs in the first semi, I think. Netherlands probably had the most street cred as a non-eurovision type song that could get played in the charts (which is why it probably won't get anywhere near the top).

I did however forecast 9 of the top 10. My mistake was to put Portugal in instead of Iceland, but forecast all of the others.

Russia really aren't popular at all.

The Acting Head of Delegation for Russia (who is also one of the songwriters) was actually telling the girls to say yes or no to questions yesterday, which didn't help matters either.

I'm supporting for Armenia

Interestingly, Sweden is now bookies favorite in last 2 hours.

I don't like it, neither do our team in general, and it seems many are divided on this.

Thank you, Hungary is really good, and I also like Netherlands, although I agree with you there.

This year is strange for Eurovision, in that there genuinely is a lot of talent there.

Me too. My mistake was Albania instead of Netherlands.

Please don't quote link, it will be gone soon.
