I upgraded Mrs Hermit from my old Lumia 800 to a shiny new Lumia 735 last week. She has since rediscovered the joys of Wordament, so is well pleased with it.
On the plus side, as part of their Christmas promotion, I get £20 of xbox credit. -

Registered 17 years agoAfter two years with a flakey computer that would work fine but usually crash within 5 to 10 minutes when you tried to play a game on it, I upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU. I can finally play games again instead of just talking about them here on the forum. -

Registered 14 years agoI prefer a small shop bought tree, complete with a mini string of lights and decorations.
It saves having to put them up myself.
Horses for courses though. -

Registered 15 years agoI don't have any decorations up.
Not anymore.
Dog decided they didn't fit the décor, and would look much better in tatters on the floor. -

Registered 18 years ago@theroneffs Running Windows 7 for several years, I can't identify with any of the problems you raise. Serves me perfectly well, never have to fight with it, never lose anything, runs off an SSD, an i7 and 8 gig of ram so is lightening fast. Sits quietly in the background and does its job. Just like a good OS should.
I also have a shitty spec work PC running Windows off an old creaking IDE drive. It's not really a fair comparison. -

I got a cat in May this year but would like to upgrade him to a dog
Got a cat. I'm a cat lover through and through, and just having him around has massively improved my happiness.
Although cleaning up his poorly aimed sloppy shite this morning wasn't the best start to the day admittedly... -

So all games now run perfectly on mac's?
I've never had a problem. Any problem. After years of owning a mac. Just my experience though. -
Dogs are pretty cool too... My long term plan is to get a second cat, then a few years down the line when we've upgraded to a bigger/more rural house get a rottie as a pup (or rehome one that gets on with cats) -
We got a fridge that has a water filter and ice machine, it even has a crushed-ice option. -

Registered 8 years agoI finally uncovered what it was like to be a women today as they want to buy unlimited amounts of bags...I revealed my inner womeness when I upgraded my 2011 headset to a Kingston HyperX Cloud headset thats coming around Christmas.

You should bear in mind that wet wipes don't break up like tissue paper so you may end up with blockages in your drains if you continue to flush them. Sorry to ruin your bumhole.
Using wet wipes instead of normal bog roll after having a curry. I now eat loads more spicy food because the salvage operation the next day is a breeze with a pack of baby wipes knocking around.
It has really turned my life around. -

Get lots of dog waste bags and use those. Get a dog if you do not have a dog so that you can surreptitiously use dog shit bins. Teach dog to shit in toilet to ensure you do not run out of bags but do not teach dog to eat spicy food.
Apparently the wet wipes thing is quite a common problem for the water supply agencies as most people just flush them and it leads to all kinds of problems both in your drains and further down the line. -

Registered 17 years agoOn the tech side going from a PC with no hard drive to one equipped with the very latest 20Mb bad boy was fairly amazing. Now when I see 32 GB USB flash drives I believe they are the work of the devil. -

Registered 11 years agoLearning to cook. That was a biggie. And on the same note going from a bog-standard block of kitchen knives to Wusthoff knives and learning how to properly maintain them to keep their sharpness…for cooking purposes I mean, honest.
Oh and just to be really boring, getting a Miele vacuum cleaner - the suction on that thing…for cleaning purposes, honest! -
If you're wet enough to need a baby wipe for your precios little ring, you're probably not the kind of guy who'll be happy lifting a lateral drain cover and rodding the blockage while up to your ankles in sewage.
