My Samsung S20+ had battery swell for the last few weeks, i thought i can change that (watched the youtube videos), all the screws out and new battery ready to go, trying to ease the old battery out of the case it burst into flames, i had enough time to run through the kitchen and throw it onto the decking before standing there seeing it bellow so much smoke/sizzle in the rain.....wasn't expecting an electrical bonfire when i woke up this morning, or a need to replace the phone...onwards and upwards a new S23+ ordered! Remember for next time to take it to a professional!

One of the reasons I think non-replaceable batteries in phones is stupid - also all but 1 of the Samsung phones I've had had issues with the stock battery which is not inspiring - for example my Note 1 the battery began to swell up and the Note 4 capacity was prematurely impacted.

EU legislating to make devices like phones without an easy end-user replaceable battery illegal but not until 2027 and potentially won't happen here :(

Worked my weekend shift now 9nly Monday until a day off. Question is why ami sitting up awake at 3 am ...
#sadtiredface.

It's Christmas party week at our restaurant too. It's absolutely bonkers prep for the week. Going to be tiring (but fun)
 
I work 4 on/4 off and have just had my 4 off. I booked the next 4 days off as annual leave a while back, so in reality I'm off for 12. :cool: Downside is that I couldn't book the 15th off and I've been invited to the ED Christmas do on that date. :(

My first Monday without a job for over 16 years, bit lost what to do with myself.

I'm technically on garden leave for 3 months so still have an income and can find new work but taking time off until at least the new year.
I have a bunch of Excel nonsense to do this AM if you want to chip in.................. :D :cool:
 
Looks like i'll be getting a letter from the police...

long steep downhill stretch (think side of a valley) , thats been limited from 40 to 20mph... Heavy trailer on the back.

Guess whos sat at the bottom, a scamera van.

Trackers says i was doing 24mph, but had my brakes on constantly trying to slow down the entire way down the hill.

annoying thing is my speed awareness course 3 year is up in January. ffs

both times ****** over by circumstance, 1st time removal of 40mph signs the way before and now this.


I really hate the police in south wales.

lol. Your defense for speeding is your car was overloaded and couldn't slow down?

try towing a 3 ton trailer down a gradiant of 18% over 1.5 miles without overheating the brakes, theres run offs for lorries on both sides. and keeping it at 20mph without engine braking being available.

lots of people gonna be effected next month

My sister sent me pictures of a litter of Labrador puppies (4 weeks old) asking if I wanted one. Turns out someone had turned them in to be put down. :eek: Who gets rid of Labradors? At the very least they are worth a fortune. I'd have had one if it wasn't for my work schedule but at least my sister has rehomed one of them.
