I bloody well did not enjoy it. Black boy before me had to do it with a tube of smarties. ?. It's nae an enjoyable experience get the swab test at all. Got a home test kit last week, free of charge, and got the result in within 48 hours. Passed the test though. 1 Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Mentioned in the Covid thread. Need a laptop/chromebook (dinna know the difference) for homeschooling Using a combo of work laptop and phones is a pain in the arse. Ipad is useless. Don't need some powerful thing. Something for Google classroom etc. Cheers Link to comment

Had heard they were dishing them out across Aberdeen, but assumed we weren't eligible I'd assume a chrome book (don't have one) would run teams ( I think you can actually do it through the browser tbh) as that is a delivery mechanism for online teaching. You'd be about 200 for a new one - any of the usual tech brands will be fine as they are all much of a muchness, the only thing I'd caution is make sure not to get 32 as they get silly quickly minimum 64 (Assumed you were looking for advise if not apols) 1 Link to comment

The machine will be basic but will work small screen but its for a kid so...it'd be a lot of cloud usage for the teaching - so should be fine Link to comment

I noticed a shirt I liked in a sale this week (an e-mail from a place I buy from) reduced by 30% and would've bought it but for a sinister reason; what's the point? Then I thought, even if it goes to 50% off, what's the point? I guess like all of us, we are not going out of the house as much and will have tons of stuff in our wardrobes that hasn't seen the light of day for a year now. This Covid business is wrecking all parts of the economy and it would almost have been a sympathy purchase just to help a preferred retailer. The words of my eldest daughter rang true for once; she cautions me to ask myself - do I need it? - when buying stuff. Well no, zero socialising means no new clothes required for me cos I'm not wearing out the current ones. Agree with that - waste if time buying clothes just now. Bought a jacket in the summer, never been on. Link to comment

Think I bought a new outfit for going out on Xmas day but other than that it's been slothing gear. Cleared out my boxer and sock drawer when I was bored so felt a splurge on some new ones was necessary. Saying that it's a good time to stock up on trainers etc. Money saved on going out can easily fund some additions to the collection. Link to comment

I got 4 pairs which is double what I need but picked them up in sales online and my idea was to share the usage so that they last longer. Even my day-to-day trainers are getting less than an hour or two per week - so I never even look at trainers these days. The demises of John Lewis and Debenhams etc. represents a shift towards Amazon and online retailing. This was another choice that we didn't make, as with the shift to outlaw cash. I've got far too many pairs, normally bought through boredom. Did think of selling heaps of them but I'd only waste the money on other shit. Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Usually buy a fair few pairs of trainers a year. Last year 2 pairs. Pair of handball spezial and a pair of manchester 89. Basically the same trainer but different colours. Worn a combined total of about 5 times. Old ultra techs or forest groves for the majority of the last year whole working at home. Might throw on a pair of Atlanta if I'm feeling wild. Likes of attic etc must be getting battered by this Link to comment
