  7. I am afraid I was too tight to spend the money.
     
  8. Tis a great idea-but not a single grandchild in sight.
     
  9. 'I' this; 'I' that; 'I' the other;...............'I' don't care; 'I' don't want to know.............. Twatter this; Twotter that; Farcebook this; B*llocks to that.............Can't be arsed with any of it...........

    ..........everything seems to be about staring into one sort of screen or another, just to find out some 'tart' has gone for a cup of tea or they have 3 million friends that they don't actually know; or maybe they are into becoming a game 'Hero' instead of learning how to fix a tap washer or open a tin of beans..........

    People are spending a fortune on buying items that are relatively useless for anything else but entertainment.......which includes taking selfies............for what purpose?............

    Most people have a computer of sorts so its cheaper to have broadband and your own website, than it is to keep buying expensive phones and tablets, which if you haven't already got bad eyesight, you soon will have trying to watch Eastenders in a 2" x 2" screen.........

    Kindle it all, I say (that means set fire to it).

  11. And how many people have heard of Kindling,eh?
     
  12. i forgot to mention that I don't get on with mobile phones,sat navs,sound bars,heating programmers and cooker timers.
    Very happy with a wireless and an on and off switch though.:)
     
  13. I though kindling was the small strips of wood, moss, paper, whatever, that you used to start a fire and that the verb to Kindle would be to turn that item in to a material that would do that job, rather than meaning simply to burn an item, although burning would be part of the process of using kindling. Where as kindling as a noun is the actual material. I'm happy to admit it if I am wrong though.
     
  14. Well I do have a Kindle 'Fire' HD,but I have never seen it alight.:)

  16. Kindling is the material used to start a fire; but you start or kindle a fire............I used the word 'kindle'.
