Today I learned how to use a pallet ratcheting machine..... After f'eck'en about for 20 mins... getting really annoyed... I thought if a dumb storeman can use one!!....
Anyway... YouTube is your friend and after a 37sec video I'm now an expert "strapper".

I wonder if the 'dumb' storeman you consider yourself to be intelectually superior to, had to watch a video to figure it out?

I dunno WTF point you are trying to make.

Using the Lansdowne Park & Ride is now the only way. I was home over an hour and a half earlier than usual, and that was after just missing a bus and then coping with rush-hour traffic around the M4.

No train delay, or train cancellation, dramas, but just an easy drive from the P & R car park - all too easy!

I saw a part of Bath that I normally miss out on as the bus stop is north of the theatre, whereas I usually go south to the train station. I will probably go back soon just for a wander.

The play was a bit out of the ordinary. I thought that as it was called. "The Way Old Friends Do", it would be quite traditional. Instead, nobody was heterosexual and it was about forming an ABBA tribute group, where men played the girls and the girls played the boys. Weird shit, but like everything that I ever see at Bath Theatre Royal, it was very good!

Google is shite!

With all ther trouble pairing the POS Beeline wate of time, I thought it was my phone (a Google Pixel 6) and so did a factroy reset after backing everything up on the Google drive. I may as well just of thrown the thing in th bin! Now it knows nothing (slightly more than before).

I don't know what to do now. I want to get a different phone but I can't just keep leaching money. And everything that I buy turns out to be shite!

Even after a factory reset, with the same SIM in as it always has had, with the same number that it is always had, the reply to any enquiry, on my now blank front screen is, "What is this mobile phone trickery of which you speak? Mobile phone? Google? You speak in an alien language!"

I never signed up for this bullshit!

RANT OVER!

I suspect that much of what you buy is absolutely fine. May I recommend that you ask the staff at the stores where you are making the purchases to set things up for you in future and then you leave it alone or take it back to the stores for any changes, resets etc.
I`m not much good with tech stuff and there is no shame in asking for help. Better to do that than get frustrated .

One change at a time Perry. Helps with troubleshooting.
 
The phone has now come back to life! It takes about 10 minutes to back up and three hours to restore. Make sense of that. Some apps have forgotten everything, yet others, still know everything and I am logged into things without fuss.

Nothing is now paired and before I started the back up, I deleted all the pairings. I am unsure if I have any will to try that Beeline again, though!
 
I used the Beeline to navigate me to Sainsburys in the car. A route that I know well, amd thank Christ that I do. It gave me directions to turn about 1 metre from each junction. Useless on a motorbike where you need to position yourself, well before that. When I went home, I put in "home" and the response was (although I had just come from there) "What is this trickery that you speak of? You want to go to Cambridge?" so i had to put in the address and postcode of this obscure location, my self. It never worked anyway. When I got home, I inspected the device settings, and although it is still had the Bluetooth link, it was spinning between connected and not connected every second. So that is a grade A fail and I am one with it.

I will tak it back, next week.

And it has destroyed all of my other Bluetooth connectors! Nothing now works.

Saw this, and it was a good film:

Learnt a bit more about the POS Beeline, As standard, the default is set to give you no notice of turns. I have now joined the band of weirdos who would quite like a bit of notice.

Secondly, trying to use it in the car is not possible. The car Bluetooth and the Beeline Bluetooth are the worst of enemies. At best the car Bluetooth will work, but the Beeline Bluetooth doesn't. At worst , like now, neither will work. I will have to try it, either on the KTM, or a cycle. I might just take it for a walk tomorrow to see if can work out directions to the end of my road!
