Well there's the new Mini!Don’t know why they use a name off a classic and put it on some bland euro box
"Monkey see, monkey do!"
"Monkey see, monkey do!"
Well today a I bought a Qilive cable thing to try and connect my phone to my lappy via the USB ont lappy and the plug ont phone.
Samsung 3 5099y.
Tis all plugged in but the lappy doesn't "see" the data folders, although it can do it from my camera and my dash cam.
Back to the flipping drawing board yet again.
Bizzarely I searched around on "Settings" and it seemed to say there was some way I could connect to it wirelessly!
Trust me to have to spend dosh uselessly to find this.
I am so dumb when it comes to tech.
And yes it is a "sync" connector.

Just dug out a old article 1984 RAF Personnel abroad in Belize. C.A.
Then I was promoted to RAF Corporal. As you can see, I was younger then and very dedicated to my work as a helicopter refueller.
I didn't tan well just looked like cooked beetroot. Uniform reflect a typical airman adapting to the conditions. Being a refueller the stench of aviation fuel generally saturated my clothes.
Worst for Mayan Choggies who did the laundry for the camp if military exercise using CS Gas.
How did they catch it to put the paste on ?

Yup mine had the 1.8 twin carb mgb engine. I got that car for free & it was minted.
When it gets launched the ad-men will have you believing it will transform your otherwise dull life, into one where you will be irresistible to the opposite sex, have a fab family, exclusive leisure time, and all the other things you will still not have after the dealer has your cash

Give me an old 2.8 with all the rust on it over the new thing they have launchedWhen it gets launched the ad-men will have you believing it will transform your otherwise dull life, into one where you will be irresistible to the opposite sex, have a fab family, exclusive leisure time, and all the other things you will still not have after the dealer has your cash
The same applies to every other new motor they want to fleece you for.When it gets launched the ad-men will have you believing it will transform your otherwise dull life, into one where you will be irresistible to the opposite sex, have a fab family, exclusive leisure time, and all the other things you will still not have after the dealer has your cash
The roads will be empty
Your home will be transported to an Italian mountainside
You will drive like an F1 pro
You will be three stone lighter, have nice teeth and a cool hairdo
Your passenger seat will be occupied by someone you have nooo chance of even meeting.
You will be popular
And financially comfortable..
Reality.
You int in traffic, you are traffic
Nope, still in Milton Keynes
You wish, gamer boy
Pah! British teeth, some hair would be a bonus.
His / Her / Their / Whatever picture if you're lucky
What's your name again?
Errm, how long is the finance..?
And yes, I has had a bad day, sorry
with a pair of driving gloves and a pipe to smoke

Should have said that results of the jabs from the scorpion left marks. Bit like bee stings not as harsh as wasp sting. Ironically where I slept the rooftop was palm leafs so ideal for all types of creatures. Rhino Beetles Camel Spiders black widows scorpions tree snakes. Mosquitos Bot flies Sand Flies then DDT Swing Fog at Six o'clock in the morning
.My 10 man room was NCOs only hence me as only RAF Corporal.
The guys were Halo Para's ex SAS ex French Foreign Legion returning type so tough as nails their smile broke mirrors.
The only time I saw them bricking it was when a fellow cpl para returning from a jungle training. He emptied his rucksack only for him to face a camel hair spider scuttle fast away. The only thing I had was a empty carton of pringles. Let's just say the sound of crushed legs from covering the body only with the legs dangling out

Driving a Capri was scary, but it is was joyful. You needed wider tyres for the rear or ballast especially for the 3.5. a mate of mine in Carterton near Witney at the time loan me his Capri 1.6 lime green. Whatever he did to it, was a nightmare to drive under thirty, it shook the steering as you drove around the 5 roundabouts Swindon.Yeah.
