Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


There are loads near us, two are next door but one to each other with another on the opposite side of the road. Off licences are popping up all over as well, two have opened up near us recently ( there were two already) they are opposite a retail park and large supermarket, surely they can’t compete…
True story
On the main road of the village where I live there is a traditional barbers shop, which has been there (and run by the same family) since I was a lad.
Back in the late 80s/early 90s, somebody opened a rival barber shop directly across the road and had a large sign in the window declaring 'MODERN HAIRCUTS HERE 50p' The follwing day Barry had a sign in his window declaring 'MODERN HAIRCUTS REPAIRED HERE 45p' :lol:

Wait a minute. Is that......is that..........hair?



haha. Just joking mate. You hit the jackpot with Arja. And the affection you hold for each other was as clear as pure spring water that time you stayed with me. embrace it and enjoy it whilst you're both fit and able is the best advice I can give. 💙
 
Contact Matt Fred I will give you his email if you want as he worked for Apple explaining things to people ,he will surely sort it for you .
I managed to set up an Apple Music account on my Gmail address so happy days. That was until I realised there was no Apple Music app on my TV, and I can't use it on my PC either because my browser is out of date. So I can only use it on my phone which I don't have headphones for yet. Why is nothing in this world straightforward? The PC must be at least 12 years old and needed replacing anyway as some of the letter keys aren't working properly so it plays havoc with my typing.

Why Apple instead of Spotify? Just curious.

Poor excuse about the mistypes .What browser are you on as they normally update ? The reason nothing is straightforward is so they need replacing . I remember you winding up your PC .:p
 
Good afternoon all. Finished work and now have 4 days off. Im loving this partial retirement lark. I had a 1 to 1 with my new boss yesterday. It was 10 minutes about my work and an hour of him asking me questions anout partial retirement. He's 52 at the moment but is planning ahead!
We've got Frankie sleeping over tomorrow and Sunday. Im looking forward to that. I can honestly say Ive never had anybody in my life who looks as pleased to see me as he does!🤣
I'll go to the gym in the morning before he gets here ' Charlotte is working two night shifts as a favour to her boss so she's dropping him off at around 3 so I'll have time to cook our tea in advance. And also hopefully find a stream to watch the match.

I was thinking about a previous post where you said you might need to update your hifi system ,I think Jazzy will confirm that about half of the cost should be on speakers -normally but don't you listen on headphones mostly ? in that case you need to tailor the expenditure to suit and then when you move get a ghetto blaster to annoy the neighbours ,will you still want to play your old tapes ?
Thank you for the nice comments ,the hair was one of Rooney's old pieces hence the front missing .

I'm currently on the free service with Spotify and it's getting worse, with longer and more frequent ads, terrible service on my mobile, plus I can't use it on my PC (which I've discovered now is most likely the browser issue}. There's a number of reasons why I've chosen Apple. A lot of people say the audio quality is better than Spotify. They certainly pay a lot more to the artists than Spotify (who are notoriously the worst). Spotify have recently introduced new T&C allowing them greater powers over artists materials uploaded to their platform. Plus the owner earlier this year invested half a billion dollars in an arms company linked to Israel. I know the likes of Apple and Amazon aren't angels either but sometimes you opt for the lesser of 2 evils. Spotify also pay very little to emerging artists (which is the bulk of what I listen to) and indeed nothing at all if they don't meet their minimum stream criteria. There's also a bigger issue with AI music being uploaded than with other platforms. I saw a video the other day that claimed 30% of weekly new music uploads are AI generated. In numbers that equated to something like 30,000 songs every day.

The bottom line is that more and more artists are removing their catalogue from Spotify and many new artists will not pay to upload stuff if there's little chance of getting a return.

No idea on the browser Blue. The problem is the Windows version I am on is ancient and Microsoft stopped servicing it probably 2 years ago. They wanted you to buy the latest windows but it wasn't worth the outlay on my old unit. So I haven't been receiving any updates and can't even upload new apps to my PC. Anyway all this has forced me to get my arse in gear and get new stuff.
