    [Yet] Another Tech Question...

    I noticed on the flight home the other day some guys around me watching films on their phones but there's no internet on planes so how do people manage that? (I tried to listen to my Spotify songs on the plane but couldn't because they're not stored on the phone and there was no internet.) I...

    Another rant

    This time it's to do with online holiday booking processes. Our surname has an apostrophe, being of Irish origin, but for some reason online holiday booking processes can't seem to handle the apostrophe. Time and again we have to come out of the process and start again without the apostrophe...

    A slightly awkward message...

    ... and one I'm a wee bit embarrassed about... At one point last week, having some time on my hands, I decided to 'tidy up' my email stuff. It seems I've also inadvertently deleted my list of recipients of my 'stuff' (ratings/thoughts) on the races I've studied. The only two who aren't...

    Fishy stuff...

    This morning I got a text message from an outfit called Tribe claiming they've reviewed my CV (how would they have done that??) and that I "could be a great fit" for a remote online opportunity by providing product reviews. They left a Whatsapp number to call but before I block it I was...

    Login issue

    I'm not sure what I've done for this to happen but every time I revisit the site I have to login whereas I used to only have to do it after clearing my cache. I've ticked the box asking to keep me logged in but it seems to be ignoring it. Any solutions? TIA.

    Mobile phone stuff

    Just looking for advice from people who are more savvy than me about this stuff. I want to change my mobile sim. I'm with EE and don't like them. I'm also paying about £15pm for my mobile, which I think is a lot considering how little I use it. To clarify.. I use my mobile to: make and...

    Guinness Nitrosurge

    I'm pretty sure someone on here will know more about this than me. The other day I ordered Guinness Nitrosurge via Amazon cos it seemed to be working out at about £1.70 a pint, not noticing/realising that you needed a separate device for it to work. The device costs around £23, also via Amazon...

    Frederick Forsyth

    The author died this afternoon. I am not the world's most avaricious reader* and, of his books, the only one I have read is The Day of the Jackal. I do have Icon in my library but haven't got round to reading it yet. However, I recall like it was yesterday going into WH Smiths in Glasgow...

    Rewards For Racing

    On my way to Perth today I got talking to a couple of guys who told me they often get free race days via Rewards For Racing. I've heard of RFR and will now google it but would appreciate any info based on first-hand experience of it. As ever, thanks in advance. M.

    RTV Club Days

    Does anyone ever apply for these? If so, how long does it take to hear if your application has been successful? I've only ever applied once, successfully, but can't remember how long it takes to be notified. I've applied for 2 tickets for the Perth meeting on Sunday June 8, B365 Gold Cup -...

    What is "predatory pricing"?

    I see it mentioned towards the end of this RP article but I've no idea what it means. https://www.racingpost.com/news/ireland/dawn-raids-launched-on-irish-betting-businesses-at-centre-of-price-fixing-and-anti-competitiveness-investigation-aOb462Z3WMLB/

    Anyone having issues with the site this morning? I get a flash of the page about to open than a blank screen. I've rebooted the laptop to no avail. It seems to be the only site where tis is happening.

    Another tech question

    About 30 mins ago I tried to type up my stuff for tomorrow's Nwm card but have hit a snag of some sort. Normally I reduce the Word doc and fit it on the screen so that I can see the best odds column on the RP card and type across the prices without toggling. When I tried it then the page...

    Ayr - other races

    These were written on Thursday and the best odds (BO) are as they were at the time of compilation (around tea-time). I'll do a separate post for the races I've looked at. Fingers crossed I at least cover myself financially for the day.
