What did you get (or give)?

Post by poliopete »

One of the best presents I received was from one of my daughters partner. He has included me in his Netflix package. He has shown me how to bring up and view films on my TV :D

So far, I have watched "The Irishman" twice :D What a film. The only problem is, I can't remember how to exit Netflix :? So what I do, is switch off at the mains, go and make a sandwich, and when I switch on again, normal TV is resumed. :lol:

Have happy and healthy New Year.

Peter.

We have Netflix which we play through and bt box. We have a back button on the bt remote which we press till a column appears on the left. Exit is in tiny writing at the bottom of that column. If you can find the button to bring that column up, you're sorted.

I treated myself to new first fix and 2nd fix 18v nail guns, to replace gas ones i have.

However, my best present came from my Dad who has given me his Dad's Moore and Wright Calipers and Micrometers. The engineering in them are amazing, still as smooth as when they were made.

A Raspberry Pi computer, which I have earmarked for a couple of tasks.
1. Act as a filter for some some of the more annoying and non-relevant ads.
2. Amalgamate shop and home networks into a super-network. I've never really been satisfied with previous attempts at this.

Sorry, you did ask!
