Title: Handy Tip.
Post by: Belker on July 16, 2024, 02:36:32 pm
I would guess that most of ye tech savvy nerds have this sussed already but I'll post it anyways.

As a newbie multiple app user, as in Uber and FN, a colleague of mine gave me this tip.
When I have just one App open and online the clock in the top Left hand corner is in plain colour, as below.

But if I have 2 Apps on the go and both online then the clock shows in Blue, as below.
If I touch on the Blue clock then it brings me back to the previous App.

Naw, I have tried all them Brian and the Fookin things always drip or leak, especially when your supping on them, the one I posted above is in a different league.

Have a go off my yoke SB, if ya buy it and use it and it's not better than yours (in your opinion), then I'll eban ya on the €13 notes.

I'm not a fan of piping hot coffee, c.80C is probably as hot as I want it. Do you use the cup when you buy a coffee on the road or just to bring a cup with you? I see some coffee shops offering discounts of up to 6.32% if you supply your own cup.

Neither am I a fan of piping hot coffee. I make my own at home using Maxwell house rich blend Granuals, well stirred with a decent sup of milk, then add boiling water and stir well again, leave to sit and cool fer a few minutes before ready to go.

The Nua Tesco cup will keep it as warm as I want it fer about 2 hours, which is usually as long as it takes me to drink it.

I usually have a coffee before I go to work and I might have a soft drink after a couple of hours. I don't do many shifts longer than a few hours these days but when I used to do the odd 8+hour shift I brought a double espresso with 2-3 teaspoons of sugar with me which I'd drink cold if/when I needed a boost of energy.

I think I'll put one of them cups on my Tesco shopping list anyway... not sure if it'll fit my (lack of) routine but if you're recommending it I'd say it'd be worth having on hand. Do they do a bigger one suitable for bringing a pint of water to bed and/or to work? My old Coca-Cola branded one is getting quite worn.

i'm very fussy how i like my tea and coffee and only drink my own prepared stuff.
i tried the flask in the car stuff but it left a funny taste.
i can only drink them both in an absolutely quiet relaxed non moving enviroment.
i just drink water when i'm out and about.

T'is hardly boasting that I drink Maxwell house rich blend granules ??  I bought a big 'kick-ass' 750G tin about a year ago fer about €30 notes and it's still well over half full.

17/07/2025 is the 'best before' date stamped on the bottom of the tin, or before it can be used fer it's primary purpose, which is to be my urn fer my cremated remains before scattering as written in to my will.
