Where were all the crashes and funny bits dash cams are supposed to provide?

Think you got a dud one there Alan.  :grin

Maybe I need a real dash cam for all that stuff to happen and not a pretend one.

Nice choice of music.
I had to pick something that would pass You Tube and ended up using Google Drive instead.

Went to start the car this morning - no go. No anything - totally dead. Suspect battery has failed as all fuses ok. Battery on charge just in case something was left on overnight.

Battery was replaced and all seemed ok until the second night when the new battery went flat.

Charged that up and removed negative lead so when I need to use the car it's put the lead back on again and remover when not using it.

Car goes in tomorrow morning to see what's causing the battery drain. With all the electronic gear on the car it could be anything.

I went on Facebook this morning and nothing worked and unable to comment on anything using IE11 on WIN8.1 so I tried Chrome and it's ok. Thought it may have been my PC and the same happened on the laptop (same platform as PC) and Heather's PC was ok using Edge. Have Facebook decided not to support IE11 in favour of Edge even though IE11 the default browser for WIN8.1?

The laptop is currently having WIN10 put back on it. I took advantage of the free upgrade on both PC and laptop when WIN10 was first released but not yet keen on installing it again on my PC because it slowed the start/shut down by about 3 times. See what happens I guess.

Limited Net usage at the moment.

Our town is having the streets dug up to install sewage mains. On Monday they managed to cut the NBN/Phone lines so we have limited internet until the experts get here and repair the cable.

Using Optus via my tablet which has 7GB plus 2GB shared with Heather's phone.

This one was done under our state's dental scheme but at our local private dentist and cost me $60 for emergency treatment.

Also applied for general dental a few weeks ago and have to wait 12 -18 months for that. Then I can apply for any dentures to fill in the gaps and another waiting period for that.

I do have private extras cover for this sort of stuff but the gap payment would be more than the $60 I just paid.

Heather's 10 month old PC had a few issues and it was decided to do a factory restore. Undertook all the steps needed and transferred the data that needed to be kept onto an external drive.

I had the option to either use the restore partition or use the restore discs and I opted for the latter. Restore not complete error message with an option to try again but no luck.

Rang HP yesterday and on their instruction did a system test. The code that came up suggested a hardware issue so PC is packed up awaiting a courier so it can be returned and repaired.

In one sense we're happy it happened now as the warranty runs out in two months. Only thing we are not sure of is what we'll get back. HP suggested anything from a repair using refurbished parts to another PC.

Their service centre rang yesterday to confirm the details and they hinted at a hard drive replacement, courier should be here Monday to pick it up.
