£150, delivered.

Thanks but got. Much things have been donated so the co sleeper is pretty much the first thing I've bought for her with my own, real money!

Bugabbo though, bruv. It's like pushing middle class around.

Also it has off-road mode!

The slightly too smug nods when pushing the Donkey about are lovely. Would recommend (if woman in micropub had not sung its praises I would not have believed), if only for basket by side of baby holder. Check eBay, you'll punt it on for what you paid.

... Does this mean it's malicool?

No, nothing to do with kids is MaliCool.

Mmm, their vom looks a lot like your malicool shoes.

baby puke: Malicool.

Pulled the bathroom light on so hard it yammered up and knocked it off the top of the mirror cabinet (which must be about 7 feet high).

My replacement phone has arrived already! I don't know if it's refurbished or not but it pretty freaking brand spanking new.

I gotta say I'm impressed by Apple's customer service.

The filthy rob dogs.

GazChap · **Posted:** Fri Feb 24, 2017 12:13

Yeah, if there's one thing that Apple do very well, it's customer service.

When they say "refurbished" they replace the entire outer shell, so yeah, it should be indistinguishable from new.

My experience has been anything but excellent. It took nearly three months to get a Genius Bar appointment to get a batter swapped under recall that didn't involve a day off work or a 150 mile trip.

I need to do that. My 6S apparently has a known issue that makes it keep turning off when cold, and I'm entitled to a free replacement.

Do you have a link to say about the entitlement please?

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14356

Can't you just get them to send you a box and send it off? That's what I did. I got the box the next day, sent it off and you know the rest.

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 5149

Yep, wait a week for a replacement.

Signed contract for a flat today.

I'd laugh like a drain if there's no IKEA near you.

Nah fam, Mountain Buggy for the real off road creds.

Modded ours to have two stubby cup holders. One of which seems to have been filled with seashells and stones

Finalized the last details of our new bathrooms last night and they start on Monday.

2 bathrooms and a downstairs toilet are to be ripped out and replaced.

Long overdue as most of the bathrooms were outdated and knackered when we moved in 6 years ago.

Regular readers will remember that I applied for a grant through my local church for piano lessons. Well, I was successful!

I would have thought that they’d want me to pay for the lessons and then claim it back but no, they’ve just sent me a cheque for £250 along with a nice letter.

My solo album takes another step to completion… it’s only 9 years in the making.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 11:08

Excellent!

Sing us song, pianoman.

Give me a few weeks and I will. I'm thinking I'll start with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 11:12

I got the same book for my birthday. I need to make a start on things, perhaps by taking the cover off the keyboard.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 11:13

You have to cross your hands for the start of BoRap. Go for Moonlight Sonata instead, it's not hard to play and it's awesomesauce.

Noted. I think I'll be alright with crossing my hands. Hopefully my years of drumming might come in handy here.

Not really, this is musicianship.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 11:15

My last attempt at re-learning the piano resulted in me spending ages repeatedly playing the largo from Dvorak's 'New World' * because it was slow enough for me to fumble around finding the keys without losing time. I've always been able to read the treble clef - it's the bass clef and the co-ordination of both hands I have trouble with.

Is that the one that they've recently discovered should be played twice as fast as believed?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 11:26

I was ready to hate that, but it's incredible!

I'm sure it's more than twice as fast, though. Or a different song to the one I was thinking of.

Wait, isn't that just the third movement? It's meant to be faster.

This is the first movement:
