Opportunity missed there!

Do you wear your watch while asleep? I take mine off every night so just sticking the Apple Watch on the charger by the bed is quite natural. Yes, I took part in a fatigue study a few years back and find monitoring my sleep patterns very informative, especially with crossing time zones and overnigh...

Started using an Apple watch occasionally and the battery life is shocking. I'm used to a Garmin that lasts for weeks at a time between charges :lol: Yeah, it really is rubbish! 😂 I still use one though as I use fitness+ and “it just works” etc. I find it best to charge whilst getting ready in the ...

Maybe on Android, but Apple is: The existing “Allow While Using App” option will grant location permissions to users in the foreground just as it has in the past. However, if an app’s developers have additionally requested that the app track background location, then selecting this option will addit...

XJ-L? I like the colour combo. Train and turns in the rear on the way home sounds like the right choice

Surely the Guinness in Uganda and also in Ghana comes from the Breweries in Ghana (where all of Africa’s Guinness is made) ;) Mates Dad was head of Quality Control at James Gate (worked his was up from Bottle washer) - O Connors was his opinion. But you’re right about the lines - shorter the lines ...

Most definitely!

I’m going to Salon Privé in Chelsea next Friday though

I’ve always a case or two of Brewdog, some Moretti for guests and some Brewdog Speedbird/Lost beers from work. However, I mostly enjoy Guiness and as the pub three doors down from me won the best Guiness award by the brewery, I typically just wander into there when thirsty. £6.70 a pint though these...

Classic car club has closed down and the first page of Autovivendi made me want to shiver! 😂 Currently driving a Dodge Challenger R/T 392 cu Hemi V8 (5.7L in oourpeean): sounds fantastic, but only makes 375hp! 😂 I don’t know how the Americans do it! Hopefully this dry spell will be short lived 🤞 IMG...

I have two tickets for Saturday but I’m not going to be able to make it unfortunately as I’m away. Have a great time!

For the first time since I was 17, I find myself without a single car to my name.. it’s a strange feeling tbh. This unusual position has come about due the combination of a possible move abroad, a current lack of off road parking and a desire to purchase an additional property.. I hire cars or Uber ...

A trip to Italy can only be done in one of SJ’s cars surely?

No HUD option on a Tesla.. elec Mini has a hud and shares platform (or something) with the Ora funky cat, so not really surprising the Chinese style interior. I’m interested to see how AR overtakes HUD with BMW (and Merc?) offering it on their newest cars Yes, am interested to see what the next-gen...

Elec Mini has a hud and shares platform (or something) with the Ora funky cat, so not really surprising the Chinese style interior. What?! Is it made in China now? I thought it was similar to the funky cat… BMW aren’t exactly amateurs in the EV world, surprised that they’ve teamed up with Ora which...

Oh yeah, nano fibres reminds me: What if he held the records of the conversation in line with the fibre? The whole notion that slicing the ship to pieces was the best way to recover that information was ludicrous, probably one of the absolute weakest parts of the whole show. That was my favourite b...

A road trip in a nice GT car or a £500 banger for charity can be fulfilling (in very different ways!), but to drive a Smart to Italy doesn’t fall into either category for me!
