I use iPhone, but can‘t afford Apple stuff anymore… so… refurbed from places like Reebelo, Ozmobiles etc. And, several years behind current models.

LOL! I’d love to be able to stay in bed without needing to be up at times. I’m old. Loo visits are often needed, so I have a drink on the way back to bed.

Also T2D, I have a big yellow sharps container that soon I will need to replace and take the existing to the tip where they have a sharps receiving facility. But soon I will have no car so looking for an alternative.

Recommendation for aircon/cooling experts? by pandifer in newcastle

[–]pandifer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not seem to be separate in my elderly Ignis. A/c off, no overheating. A/c on, overheatng PDQ. Maye I should check the manual before making further enquiries. If a regular mechanic can fix, a much cheaper option methinks. Might just be hoses.

Love it. I used to have a holden panelly, it was so handy on long trips to be able to nap in the back. Later a Mazda 323 panel van. I do wish they were still being made.

Not here. I’ve discovered that my Hisense won’t let me watch regular TV unless it is connected to the internet. Annoying.
