A great way to see the city. That sky reminds me of the last time I was visiting Edinburgh. We took "The Maid of the Forth" for a sightseeing trip along the Forth and unfortunately it absolutely pissed down with rain and we all had to escape the open deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Researching the closest places to get a PCR fit to fly test near me. They go from about £100 to £200 from what i see. I want the one where you go and they take the sample, not the home kit, less chance of a f**k up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Been finishing off setting up my mates old laptop from a fresh install of W10. Now it's ready to be donated to a family with 2 kids that can't afford a computer. Typically it's been bright and sunny all day until now when it's walk time. Pissing it down with rain. Oh Hum, brolly time again. Edited March 13, 2021 by boydeste 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessongs Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sad to say but, I think you realize when you get a "boner" over getting dress shirts that are on sale at a great price at the Van Heusen store in the mall that is going out of business, you might need some help! Don't think I'm a "cheap charlie" you bastards...but $45 dress shirts that are selling for $7.99, I just got to have LOL! 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a complete factory reset. The sun came out eventually, so I took the oportunity to do a longer walk of 4.5 miles, then go to Tescos to stock up on the essentials. Now showered up and settled down to a night of TV and low alcohol beer. If you were here .. I would give you a nice laptop ... this is my one "toy" weakness .. laptops ... I have 7 or 8 of them lying around and they are all pretty new within the last couple of years .... all loaded with memory and all of them have at least 1TB .... I keep bouncing back to this Thinkpad X1 Extreme I9 .... it has all of the ports I need and the keyboards are just fantastic on all Thinkpads ... plus, it is memory upgrade-able ( got it maxed out ) and slots for 2 SSD drives ..... this machine rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
