You know you're getting old when the hair on your chest starts greying.
Annoyed. A retailer who could once be relied upon to maintain a mostly permanent 20% discount on iTunes gift cards has ceased that deal.
Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.
@matigo "Connor," I had thought, not "Duncan," although traditionally Duncan is a Scots name & Connor is Irish.

Limped into a supermarket on my way home from a meeting tonight. Majorly sore lower back was helped by use of a cane. Bugger! Completely forgot what I'd gone there for. Stomped & clomped grumpily about the place and went home empty-handed. Still can't recall why I went there.
The mostly excellent Sygic navigation app on WP10 needs attention. I had set it to warn me of approaching railway crossings but it can't differentiate between those and tram routes. And trams ? are a major part of Melbourne traffic. I have deselected that setting.
@streakmachine We have ULP at 91, intermediate at 95, premium ULP at 98 & E85 for Flex-fuel engines, that's 107 octane.
Back in the 90s, in Europe the Ford Mondeo & Opel Vectra were competing for the same market share, both used the European base level fuel of 95 octane and the Mondeo offered better performance.
When they went on sale in Australia, only the Vectra was modified for 91 octane, meaning that, on the standard, base-level fuel, the Vectra outperformed the Mondeo. And there's usually 4c per litre price difference between 91 & 95-octane, unless you use 95-octane E10, which is a few cents per litre cheaper than the 91.
I had to refuel yesterday sometime, so when I stumbled upon a fuel outlet selling 91 RON (base octane) petrol at a 10% discount I filled up there.
