I have put a cake in the oven. It's going to be a coffee fake.

Pondering on buying a new tablet as mine is so slow now and a lot of aps no longer work.

Was looking at the Samsung A7, but you can't move aps onto an SD card so that's a bummer.

Might go for the good old standby Galaxy tab A.

And I don't think there is an ear phone Jack on the A7 either.

What would you buy @ColinJ

Be very aware of the apps thing. Mrs P bought a Huawei which is very good but she has already run out of space for apps which is infuriating. It's not something I would have thought of. If I was buying I'd look at 32GB as a minimum. My phone has 32GB and generally 50% of this is used at anyone time.

Exactly. I saw some reviews that mentioned the aps problem. I think I will be better off with the Galaxy tab a. I like Samsung stuff.

I have a tab E at the moment 9.6 inch and it only has 8gb. Bit of a joke really

I am sure I have something that measures 9 6 inches.
Now, where is it ??
Ohh there it is

Indeed. There it is. Stuck on the end of your face. It's called a nose.

Re these app thingies.
I have very few apps on my phone or lap top. Just basic things like weather etc.
Serious question........why does the average person want loads of apps ?

Nah.... that is only 3 inches long, and that includes bogies

I've got 134 apps on my phone.
A fair number were pre installed, but 75% of them I've installed myself.
They cover all sorts of stuff from Auto Trader to Youtube.

OK.....another dumb question. When you want it, why can't you just google youtube?

I have just been reading an article about Sean Connery the good guy. Turns out there are articles and Interview he gave that said he didn't see anything wrong.with hitting a woman under certain circumstances.

And there is evidence that he attacked his first wife, and she left him due to his abuse.

I used to really like Sean Connery, but after these revelations it throws a whole new light on he man and not in a good way either.

Yes and despite all that there’s lots of talk about renaming an Edinburgh street after him and perhaps a statue. In the midst of all the slavery/BLM protests about statues you would have thought that they’d be a bit more circumspect.
