Re: No ipod touch 6th generation

Thanks, nor do I, unless it's karma for being a troll on occasion.

She Who Must Be Obeyed works for a part of the NHS that mandates no personal mobile phones while working. She gets round this by using an ipod Touch for her notes, ebooks etc. Plus there is an ipod dock in a couple of the theatres for music during operations.

Unfortunately the Gen 4 ipod is swhowing its age and is refusing to run some updated apps so I was looking to get her a new 6 gen.

Music - seems good, amazon cloud of most music bought through amazon, plays mp3s, havent tried ogg or flac.

ebooks - will take .mobi natively, Moon+ reader (free in kindle app store) will take epubs.

Re: Pebble's nearly there

Funny I was just thinking the Bluetooth in my car pretty much does that already.

Outside of the car I can spare the attention to the phone.

Just a question of :

a) remembering to turn bluetooth on when I get to the car,

b) not leaving the phone on the dash when I get out of the car.

Re: FTSE 100 yield is about 3.5%

True, however careful choice of investments can give somewhat higher. My SIPP is currently running around the 18% p.a. mark, if I had paid a little more attention and liquidated my small caps I could have made 25%+ this year. 30% if I wasn't limited in my choice of investment.

Working for one of the big 4 I need to be careful not to invest in any of our clients, I really don't need internal compliance asking me those type of questions.....

What do you mean, I have to POST a PHYSICAL CHEQUE to get my gun licence?

Omgwtfbbqtime

Re: @Hud Dunlap - Why have a license at all?

Some of us still do have bows, and practice. Mines a 60lb Grozer biocomposite recurve - yes I shoot trad, no sights, no arrow guide, not even gloves. Arrows are wood, fletchings feather with linnen bindings and the nocks are horn and not dayglo plastic.

No licence required, not even club membership needed if you have somewhere to shoot.

A 60lb draw bow is considered adequate to hunt deer in the states so will seriously inconvenience/kill a human. However it is not exactly a concealable weapon and can't be left strung and ready to fire.

Just a pity bow hunting is illegal in the UK - even for grey squirrels.
