Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 @benjamin1945 I once worked with a woman who, like yourself, couldn't take to red wine. She said it was because she wasn't "grown up enough!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 A good alternative to fibre or otherwise poor broadband could well be mobile broadband from your local phone mast. If you get a good mobile signal on your mobile phone then have a think. No messing about with installation just plug a 4g or 5g router in a power socket switch on & that's it. When my VM contract comes up for renewal in the new year it will most likely see me switching a to Three Mobile broadband. Half the cost & much faster speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is nowt wrong with Jacobs Creek it's good for the oiks at a BBQ. you can get their cheaper range at AU$8 for Shiraz or Cab Sav at the moment. their Double Barrel range is AU$20 and is not half bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm sure there isn't, Oz. Latest order is from the McPherson winery. They make a very nice little number name of The Full Fifteen. This isn't it but all their stuff is very quaffable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,232 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Not that anybody is interested, but I've just joined 'WhatsApp. So now I wait to see if anyone else emerges. Spoke to me cousin mind, and I've not seen her for 62 years, so I'm hoping to visit when I come up in two weeks. By the way, is the meet up still on? Dec 14th I think.

The Engineer 617 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 I use WhatsApp, mostly for messaging but it came in handy for family video calls during lockdown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,232 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Thanks Engineer, now the next thing I've got to learn is, how to make contacts. I sent a test message to my sister in law, but then again, I do have her details, mob, email etc. I assume one needs to swap details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
