An old friend popped round last night, not seen him since school. After a greeting, a brew and a chat I could see him looking around.. not sure what he was thinking I told him to go for a look.
My place is only small and he came back a minute later saying ‘you don’t even have a tv!’ and then he proceeded to list the tech he has uses. (Yawn)
I have an
Ipad
internet radio
iPhone 3GS (Moto G5 is for sale)
I like to try new tech but I don’t seem to able to stick with it!
So I’m wondering if I’m the only one these days with a pad practically devoid of tech? Am I an old man already?

Diane tried to kick Howard (the judge) out of the firm in The Good Wife & I think that’s why he was being a thorn in her side. I’m glad they got rid of Kolstadt tho.. she was an awful character. Diane’s face when she turned down the job and Kolstaft got it was priceless..
oh and good to know that Will was remembered, was gutted when he was killed off)
and what about the drugs???? Weird!!!
maybe we should have a The Good Fight / Wife thread @Glory1
I'm up for a Good Fight/Wife thresd but does anybody else watch it apart from us? I suppose the only way to find out is set up the thread and see if anyone else responds..
And I miss Will too. He was a good actor and the charactrr was well-rounded and the shooting what a shock..
I LOVED the Good Wife and was sad when it ended. I heard some rumours that there might be a spin-off - is it actually happening then and that's the Good Fight you're talking about? If so, it will definitely go on my watch list. And I reserve some of my related questions for that thread if you want to open one.
Okay @Marjo I've set up a thread for The Good Wife and The Good Fight (the spin-off series). So question away

I was given a small flat screen tv with Sky & I use that a lot, particularly on record
That's about it ... I listen to BBC Radio Four in the late evenings, but am not sure if radio is considered tech?
I’m not sure the young pups today would call a radio ‘tech’ but I’ve got an internet radio.. so I guess if mines in there then yours can be too @Anonymous 👍

Hi @Anonymous I don't even have digital radio ... an internet radio sounds interesting - will look it up on Google

until last year I was only aware of FM & DAB. I thought DAB was ‘the in thing’ then I went into a tech shop somewhere and this guy was demoing a hifi with internet radio. I knew I had to get one..
I have a Roberts Radio Stream 207. It’s got FM, DAB, internet radio, Spotify, aux in & usb music player.
tbf I’ve used FM only a handful of times as everything seems to be on DAB these days! But the internet is where it’s at for me. I just search for something and it’s there! Great for simpletons like me!
Thank you Czech Republic - the only country with a station dedicated to The Queen of Pop!

@Anonymous if you have Sky/Freeview then you should have digital radio channels as part of your package. I've digital radio channels as part of my Freeview package.

I've just got an Amazon Firestick and coupled with my Chromecast, my USB stick, cable TV with 100 MB wifi and surround sound speakers, my tv is my life now. I can shortcut everything by using my mobile to cast most things to the TV. Hell, I can even use my mobile as a remote for the tv and did player so I, in turn, would like to thank Samsung 😃

I did notice after a recent update my Note 4 allows me to use as a TV remote.
I have never tried it however, as we have Sky and Freeview and knowing my luck, I could, with one wrong click mess up the settings...

Yes Samsung are marvelous. I've used my mobile as a remote but prefer my remote as I can do more with it.
