Norman Ingram:
Dave I honestly couldn’t say, but he must have been laying some kind of bait, to attract the birds, what type I am stumped, what bait I would love to know! But he had better be careful, for a iranian was fined for trapping wild bullfinches. I am still not sure what type Harry is on about but the feathered varity I spend about £150 a year to keep them singing in my garden, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the other type of birds.
hiya,
Norm I see on Google that you haven’t yet done that bird bath I’ts no wonder the birds are all flying North.
thanks harry, long retired.
Norm has probably got a great big pond in his garden Harry.Those birds you can see are probably wild duck and geese.He probably eats a couple of them each week.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave I reckon old Norm has a swimming pool in the garden.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry you dappy old sod, I painted that when we had that week of hot weather I think you are having that destemper , I think you will be barking next, and maybe losing your marbles. No I don’t have a swimming pool, because my wife cannot swim, and I don’t want to keep diving in and saving her, she wouldn’t let me teach her to swim, do you think she don’t trust me1

hiya,
Norm you want to get that Google van round your street again,
just tell him there have been modifications done and his map is
now out of date, explain you’ve given the bird bath a good coat
of enamel and he’ll be there before you can say Jack Robinson.
thanks harry, long retired.
Alas I didn’t win anything this weekend, am I losing my touch, then again I didn’t lose much , had several hours of entertainment and it cost me £5. Got me a new phone on friday it got a Android, I am learning all the things it can do, I have spoke to Johnnie on skype with it, can get all my sky on it. Also it has voice control on it, I can say phone my daughter or send email and it calls my daughter or brings her phone number to email her or text. We have to keep up with technology or we will end up old dinosaurs, my family gave me money for my 75 birthday, so I spent £100 on a Huawei Ascend G300 phone and it’s Chinese, quite impressed with it, they must have tried to keep up with apple, the sound and picture quality are superb. I wonder if it can help me when I go to the Toilet

It would probably make a good laxative if you swallowed it Norm.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Norm I have a junk box under the stairs in it resides at least three camcorders four cameras umpteen mobile phones ( one of them is a Motorola) i believe it was known as “the brick” and supposedly worth a bob or two, there is a sat-nav which only the daughter uses occasionally and I haven’t got a clue how to operate, so please don’t mention modern technology to me, the bleedin instructions are too difficult to understand they might as well be written in Japanese for all the use they are to me, yes I know “two short planks” spring to your minds but I’d rather not be bothered with modern things,so darned boring, and I genuinely don’t want to be bothered with them, and yearn for yesterday where you needed a spanner or two to do a repair and no need for a computer to fix things, Gardner, David Brown and Kirkstall proper engineering when mechanics were mechanics and could fix things by knowing how to fix things by ability and not having to plug into a computer or read a load of bumph from some “workshop manual” that could be written again in a foreign language as far as I’m concerned, in fact I might have done better in the age of steam.
thanks harry, long retired.
Have got video on it, it takes you through it, how to install most things, you would like it harry, its a nice young blonde who gives the instructions, I played it a few times on each application.

hiya,
If she’s as nice as you say Norm she’d have to be doing a strip or pole
dancing before it would get my interest.
thanks harry, long retired.
But “H” these 'ere books of instructions for the various bits of technology under your stairs are usually printed in a number of languages and English is not always the first one in the book ! Now are you sure you have not just opened said book at first page and it is in a language you "no comprehend senor! why don’t you try a few pages in “H”,you never know who you might get on the line if you charge that “brick” up,mebe that Irish bar maid in the Brown Bear still has hers in full working order ( @#@*■■) and would appreciate a call to catch up with old times eh! Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Or on the other hand Dennis why not thread a string through them and hang them in the toilet,
there you go they are of some use not as cheap as Poundshop but equally as useful.Ah, yes the
Colleen from the Brown Bear methinks as rough as the Brown Bears a""e leave the brick with a
flat battery.
thanks harry long retired.
Aim high Harry, get deep into technology the sky is the limit to a man of your stature. WE all could hear you going to Australia to see your relative, also doing it! " Down Under" on the Virgin Space plane, there in 3 hours, I know it would cost a bit but you can afford it.
hiya,
Norm am quite happy to be a thicko where modern technology is
involved, haven’t got the least bit of interest, britches arse steam
is more to my taste, If someone gave me a grand and said I had to
spend it on gadgetry or clothes and nothing else it would be in the
drawer for ever, Norm I can’t even use my mobile to text and that’s
an old thing it’s supposed to take photo’s but I don’t know how to a
new phone in my hands would just get whizzed into the box under
the stairs with all the other junk, bah humbug.
thanks harry, long retired.

Harry it is a good job you managed to get on trucknet, or we would not have the pleasure of your rustic charms and your blackburn wit the world is a better place, for having you and I suppose me!

Norm.I think Harry is like a crafty old fox,he knows far more about texting and the likes than he’s letting on.He’s probably got a legion of female fans that he’s texting in between posting on these forums.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave have been shown the basics of texting by a grandaughter but in
all truth I was bored rigid and what little I’d absorbed was very soon
gone from my memory, do like the bit about the legion of females
but alas a distant memory only, my “old bird” is more than enough
for me now, if I told the missus I was texting another woman she’d
kill herself laughing.
thanks harry, long retired.
Norman Ingram:
Either that Dave, or he has a aweful lot of beer cans with string clogging up his home.
hiya,
I have a little old mobile on pay as you go I loaded £20 on it in March
and there’s over a tenner still left that’s the amount of interest I have
with my mobile I only carry it when out in the car, I’ve usually got to
dial it on the land line to find it before I go out if I haven’t driven for
a day or two, Norm just got no yearnings for modern day gadgetry in
fact can live well enough without it, if I lived on my own I wouldn’t
even bother with a tele a little old radio would do for me, and yes I
do get a free television licence so it’s not the licence fee, maybe I’m
a dinosaur in 2012.
thanks harry, long retired.
I can’t text either Harry, somehow my brain and fingers refuse to co-ordinate with each other! Never had a problem with a Foden 12 speed or a 13 speed Fuller so I guess that old age has sneaked up and grabbed me by the short and curlies? Our old mobile phone was nice and simple to use, however this new thing that has landed on us needs the brain of Stephen Hawking and the dexterity of Harry Houdini to make and receive a call so maybe the cocoa tin and string will make a comeback in the near future! I guess that a five year old could fathom it but alas we haven’t got one in the house, and its too late in life to start creating one of those now!!!

I can text Harry,but prefer not to.I dislike places like Doctors surgeries texting to remind about appointments etc.I told the hospital where I go for check ups to stop texting me after they sent one reminding me of an appointment.I do use my mobile phone much more than my land line,as I have free calls on my mobile to landlines.I’m not into the fancy phones,just a basic job suits me.
Have thought about getting a laptop instead of using this desktop PC,but if I did I would be watching the TV and typing even more rubbish than I do at the moment,so might stay as I am. Tracy has a laptop,but I would probably drop the thing and wreck it,if I got one.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave this is my fourth laptop and this one is about knackered there’s no sound
on it so can’t use Skype it isn’t ajustment that is needed it is major surgery so I
don’t bother have had it looked at but when he did the sucking in of the breath
when I asked him how much would it cost to repair I didn’t bother and just use
it without sound, not as if I’m chatting over the garden wall is it.
