Should be fine, trickery of the camera lens with the object being closer me thinks! BUT, if not he can raise it up a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Just finishing off my cup of tea, then going to go replace an outside halogen security light with a new LED one. What will be the odds of being able to reuse the holes in the brick work? Little or none me thinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper63 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Heading off to work. The New TV is hooked up and exceeding expectations. Will post pics tonight when I get home. One thing that surprised me is the remote control. It is as simple as simple can be. See if you can pick out which on is the new remote......

maipenrai Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Beautiful morning out and sunshine forecast for all week - the remaining patches of snow are disappearing quickly. Just finished a leisurely (isn't everything leisurely these days?) breakfast and will start getting ready to go out in the driveway and start tearing apart the front end of my 2001 Ford F250 4x4 - been putting it off too long but gotta get at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of Boomers buying new TV/Monitors ...finally figured out how to 'stream. Remotes simplified as a concession because Boomers cognitive ability is in decline.

Horizondave Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Just watching movies on Amazon Prime. That may seem simple for many but the other day I ordered something from Amazon for the first time and I was offered Amazon Prime for 30 days free with option to cancel at anytime after the free period. Thought it a good deal and when looking further it seems for only £7.99 (after free period) you can get free delivery on quite a few items so it would pay for itself in effect quite quickly each month. Now that made me smile but what made me smile even more was that I get Amazon Prime TV/Movies etc as part of the 30 day deal and for the ongoing cost of £7.99. Never understood this was part of the deal and having looked at Amazon Prime on my Smart TV I am quite gobsmacked at what they have to offer within the deal. So today I am doubly happy about using Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have watched Tomboy with Michelle Rodriguez which was a good thriller. I am watching Anna which has got a gorgeous assassin in it, really stunning girl and good action packed movie, a bit like a female John Wick... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The Boys on Amazon is worth a watch , a different spin on the Superhero genre I find Amazon a little annoying, so many of the movies or series I want to watch are extra .... on Netflix everything is free and part of the subscription Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me £50 for the year , unless they offer another deal I don't think I'll be renewing it , although they didn't have decent tennis coverage and quite a few EPL matches this year ...

Too be honest it probably wouldn't replace a good package like SKY, Virgin etc but as I had never used it before and it is included in the small £7.99 Amazon Prime package for getting certain deliveries for free when bought online I am well happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
