Lol, non shouldn't laugh but...

Reminds me of my grandmother and a family story often recounted in her memory.

Many years ago she was spending Christmas at her newly married sons house (mothers brother).

They had a newly installed shower over bath (no room for a separate shower). The bathroom contained the bath (with shower) a hand basin and a WC with high cistern and about 3 square feet to move around in.

Gran wanted to try a shower never having used one before. I should mention here she was slightly (hugely) overweight.

She stood in the shower, turned it on, slipped, grabbed the water feed pipe to steady herself, ripped it from the wall and tore the connection apart spraying water into the air. She reached out to the chain dangling from the toilet cistern and tore the whole unit off the wall, it spun across the bathroom, the feed pipe spewing more water. The ceramic cistern hit the ceramic sink unit, both of which exploded in a cloud of pot shards one of which burst the hot water pipe, more water cascading.

She tumbled over the edge of the bath, landed head first in the small foot well. Legs flailing in the air and lady bits fully exposed howling with laughter.

Luckily the door opened outwardly, imagine the devastation that greeted my uncle as he opened the door to see what the fuss was about.

well...my experience was not nearly as entertaining...and certainly would not have made a good scene in a slapstick movie...

Notice that it says "chocolate candy" instead of just "chocolate"?
Truth in advertising would require that it be renamed "Mr Mediocre-Bar".

"Ucky brown stuff" would also be accurate, for most 'chocolate' things...

Long live Android tablets

It's too bad that the number of Android tablet companies are so small. I'm still hanging on to my dying Google one.

Me to, nexus 7, 2013. The kids think its hilarious.

I will admit to upgrading it to a Samsung 10 in thing that worked wonderfully until i sat on it. Bony bum doesn't do screens much good and when they crack the thing doesn't work anymore.

So back to the nexus

I'm good at stubborn.

Two Celts and a Jew.
Such stubbornness might break the universe.

My Samsung S8 Active, which Ive only had for a few montys, I was, and still, pretty happy as its the most up to date technology Ive ever had like this, yet already its obsolete enough to not be getting Android 10.

You think you have troubles,spare a thought for the designers and developers. By the time they have finished a product technology has advanced so so much that they are left behind on the scrap heap or have to spend years retraining to catch up

I had a nexus 7 until I accidentally put it in a pile of paper and it went into the blue recycle bin. I've not done that stupid trick again.
