    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

    One downside to using the home_csc file is the phone then remains on XEU firmware not BTU which would happen using the csc only file and a complete wipe.

    Amazon Echo - anyone have one?

    I suspect Google Home will be a much better product over time. Google Assistant is already leagues ahead of the opposition.

    Consumer rights question

    You have six years in which to make a claim under UK legislation. However, looking at the date you purchased your product it appears to be covered under the new Consumer Contract Regulations. This legislation gives a company just one opportunity to make a repair. If it isn't successful (and...

    The Minister's Cat

    Have a listen to THIS it's a lot harder than it looks. Don't forget 'adjectives only'.

    The Minister's Cat

    Yes, I have had the privilege to read some of those letters and as you say what really stands out is the quality of both the handwriting and use of language. A great many of these letters (again as per your comments) were from ordinary working class soldiers. Goodness only knows what a...

    The Minister's Cat

    If there was such a thing as a time machine (apart from Apple's) then I would definitely travel back to a Victorian dinner party.

    The Minister's Cat

    Personally when I read Dickens I think that generation's language was rich indeed. I don't know if you've ever seen an episode of 'The Good Old Days'? I used to sit transfixed listening to Leonard Sachs wax lyrical. When you read personal letter's from those times (a) the handwriting was...

    So the teens in McDonalds carpark in souped up Corsa's is completely accurate!

    Amazon Echo - anyone have one?

    Well you're unlikely to get much sense out of Siri as it's the worst of the bunch. Google Now or the new Google Assistant maybe.

    The Minister's Cat

    A light hearted thread for Christmas, though with a more serious question. I was watching A Christmas Carol yesterday which got me thinking. Who thinks we could still play the parlour game 'The Minister's Cat'? Do we still have the vocabulary and language skills our forefathers had? Remember...

    New £5 note angers vegans and vegetarians

    There's a huge humanitarian crisis unfolding in Syria and vegans/vegetarians are up in arms about a trace of animal fat in a £5 note. What a sad indictment of Britain in 2016.

    John Lewis Xmas Advert 2016/7

    The main reason people shop with JL is because they offer a service and warranty second to none. If you wish to shop with www.cheapskate.com then fine, JL isn't looking to persuade you otherwise.

    Remember the saying - you buy cheap and you buy twice. This is usually meant for the product but can also apply to some online retailers these days.

    John Lewis Xmas Advert 2016/7

    I'm with you 100%. I may shop at discounters for my food and TBH shops like Lidl actually sell very good stuff and for example all their meat is sourced from British farms. They do sell some strange goods for a supermarket though. I purchased some gardening tools whilst buying our food...

    John Lewis Xmas Advert 2016/7

    I think you need some salt for that rather large chip on your shoulder. If you can't afford to shop at JL well my advice would be 'suck it up'. :p
