Trying to link to the Amazon app dev’s website is a complete disaster, it’s a dead link. Utterly useless arrogant CUNTS.

Fucking Amazon. You can select Australia as one of the English-speaking countries on the list in Settings with the iPhone app. But not with the iPad app that has the same version number. No good trying to link to the app’s website, either, the link redirects you to Amazon Canada.
Consequently I use the web app on iPad instead of the fucked-out shitful “official” iPad app.

A yacht competing in the Sydney-Hobart race starting today has an all-female crew and is named Grace O’Malley in honour of the Elizabethan-era Irish “pirate queen” of the same name.

When she bought the old one it was sold to her as being a “digital TV” which was just coming into vogue at the time. The only digital aspect of it was related to its audio components.
So when analogue TV was discontinued a set-top box was needed to convert the signal to analogue. Three remotes were needed, one for satellite Pay TV, one for digital channels and one for the TV itself. Now down to two remotes, much better.

My mother’s elderly 27-inch widescreen CRT TV has been replaced by a 40-inch LCD unit, purchased by my brother & his wife. It’s support legs need a table-top extension so it can fit on the existing TV cabinet.

Thanks, Jimmy. Same to you & yours.

Xmas gifts this year: a small bottle of home-made tomato sauce & $200 cash.

OK, for them as what celebrates it, a Merry Christmas to you. Last night I went along to one of the local Catholic Church’s three Xmas Eve services. A new organ was recently donated and I wanted to hear it. That plus the new choir made for a most joyful celebration.
