So what can house holders of 90 year pensioners do in 2026?

I reckon I must have made around 100 tissue boxes and I kept around 10 for myself over the years, numerous other boxes were also produced and finished their locations over other continents as well. It was a great hobby for me over those early retirement years some were even hand delivered.

Unfortunately age and standing in a workshop is not like it was in the old days.

This morning I had to set up an old mobile hard drive and then got waylaid looking at some projects that I used to post at this forum around 10 years ago.

I expect a battle with virgin starting today again, my discounts are threatened (been with them and discounts for over20 years. I do not need the 100mbs speed but what is reception like going via BT telephone lines these days? can I get good reception speed on you tube? oh and Iplayer?

Just as a back up with jump leads til we can get back to doing some mileage again, might even strap in boot, our car door was frozen last week. I was quoted 90 minutes for back up last week when parked at doctors for the wife, and she did moan.

I had to purchase a new 40" tv a couple of months ago for my windows 10 to use as the monitor, it cost me new £204 and it works perfectly OK. If I had wanted it to be a smart TV model it was an extra £11 but There was a 6 week delivery wait for that model. The maker was Cello at Amazon, so...

I did get you tube at the pc to accept a code number supplied at the tv to enter at the pc and all now with youtube to work. Mind you I did this setup previously some months ago.

Also now my smart TV would not let me into Youtube this morning at 2am,have now got to go to youtube and activate a password number, I expect a charge might be imposed???????????????? Next it will be I/Player and BBC have already got us OAPs in their sights?

I have not got a firestick, I used the Humax to take me to Youtube and Chrome will no accept the connection now, but has done the past 12 months. Edit. It appears my Humax recognises the problem not able to connect to You tube and is working to find the solution,, this report comes from...
