snow Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have finally given in and bought new house phones as my old ones had stopped displaying the caller Id and were beeping at me after about 5 mins use, battery change didn't help them so I declared them dead and bit the bullet and toddled off to Argos whilst nog was having his xrays to get new ones. Argos didn't have my 1st, 2nd 3rd or even 9th 10th 11th choice of replacements so I took a chance on some Panasonic ones hoping that they would allow me to transfer calls between handsets and work as an intercom - and luckily they do, however .......... it has taken me several hours much swearing and frustrated ranting to translate the setting up instructions that were written in pure loonspud I managed to figure it out in the end and finally have them set up & working next time though I am definately paying the extra for the phonebook sharing option I do not wanna go thru all that readding of numbers onto 2 phones again.

chickentikka Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) I'm stupidly pleased that other Fugee's have the same taste in punk/new wave . I'm going to "Youtube" The Damned....Dave Vanian , I went to see them live a few times, they were very good, seen Siouxsie and the Banshee's too, but they were poop live, Strangler's were excellent. Those were the days, living in Bristol was good as loads of bands came and they used to play little venues rather than the stadium tours of today. I can remember seeing the Clash, the Stranglers, Johnny Thunder & the New York Dolls. Tom Petty, Dr Feelgood (that's a blast from the past must go to iTunes), the Jam, the Specials, the Selector, Ian Dury, Billy Idol and the Sex Pistols. I saw Simple Minds as a supporting act to someone back in the 1800's I also saw Bruce Springsteen in about 1980, he was gooood. I am currently loving the Gaslight Anthem. I just think this is fantastic btw I had a lovely phone call from my trustee who said his wife had discovered him crying with laughter at his computer, she read my email and that set her off, they'd had the stupid giggles all day. There's a meeting next week, and he told me he wasn't sitting anywhere he could get eye contact with me as that would set him off.

owl Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Glad your trustee saw the funny side. I can just imagine the next meeting, with you trying very hard not to look at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a meeting next week, and he told me he wasn't sitting anywhere he could get eye contact with me as that would set him off. Being in Edinburgh we didn't get that many band's, did see Tom Petty in Glasgow, one of the best gig's I've been too, but the very best gig was Elvis Costello, he had a huge wheel on stage with the titles to his songs on it, he'd get someone up from the audience to spin the wheel and choose a song, they then had to go into the "gogo" cage and dance . Tom Waites was another brilliant one, there was him, an armchair, a piano and a standard lamp. What about Magazine , Dead Kennedy's, Angelic Upstart's, Echo and the Bunnymen ? There's a few band's I apparently went to see, although I have no recollection , serves me right for all those "experiments" Salford Uni used to be fab for having lots of bands on. Do you remember SLF and the Undertones as well? Showing our age now Glad to see there are other Fugees of discerning musical taste Yup, remember those two, wasn't really into SLF, dunno why, my friend was mad keen on them, they played Edinburgh just a few month's ago. Undertones were excellent. Another grey day here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
