RamblingSidon Thursday....and we are back..... Nice couple of days away, Ocean City is tooling up for the big Memorial Day weekend and everyone is expecting bigger than usual crowds as it seems a lot of people are also blowing off Friday as well. Good luck to them, I prefer it more or less like it was Tuesday and Wednesday, just a few people around.- RamblingSidon TuesdayReporting in from the parking lot of the Tanger Outlet Mall, Rehoboth Beach, DE. I just can't be bothered to wander around the outlet stores. I was in the Levis outlet for about 10 minutes, knew my size, knew the type of jeans I wanted, selected them and then out again. SWMBO is still in there and has been for the past 30 minutes. Fairly warm here, upper 60's but it is pretty humid. Our hotel is right down on the boardwalk at Ocean City, MD, about 30 to 40 miutes away from here.
- RamblingSidon SundayTomorrow I will be on my way to Ocean City, MD, for 3 fun filled days.....lol Today it is warmer up in NY than down on the coast in MD. Hopefully the weather will get better.

- kmobon Saturdayhave you heard about this John?1 comment
- RamblingSidon SundayThanks for the link Kev, I hadn't been to the BBC website yet. They do seem to be a bit over the top, even for an over the top religion like the Amish practice. I was a bit surprised at how dirty the kids were said to be, I haven't seen many Amish, and never been into one of their homes, but they always seem clean, and their clothing, although plain, looks OK.
- kmobon 19-May-2012There was a super 3 service's parade in Windsor/castle today. Watched some of it on the tv. I felt very proud, particularly of the RAF personnel.1 comment
- RamblingSidon 19-May-2012They mentioned a combined total of 2,500 servicemen on parade, I guess the barrack blocks were empty that day.....
- kmobon 19-May-2012iPad continuing saga: Well I am absolutely amazed at the brilliance of the iPad. Its well worth paying the extra to get this superb product. I have my Android tablet back again, yes its good but not a patch on the iPad.
I would certainly look at getting an iPhone as my next phone and maybe, maybe changing to a Mac for my next pc.
My advice to someone wanting a tablet ........ pay a bit extra and get the iPad2.3 comments- MikeSin2on 19-May-2012interesting, over the years I have not been an Apple man but your comments have prompted me to look at the reviews of the new iPad. So far I have been more in tune with Android tablets.
- kmobon 19-May-2012Oh don't get me wrong Mike the Android system is super but in all cases a lot cheaper than Ipad and that cheapness is reflected in the superiority of the Ipad system. I wouldn't put anyone off buying an Android tablet .... I have one of each now lolololol
- RamblingSidon 19-May-2012I agree totally Kev, if I had Pad envy then it would be the iPad for sure. iPhone is good, but my son ditched his, mainly because at the time it was tied to only AT&T, and even in Las Vegas he got spotty reception. Like the iPad it is worth spending the extra to get a Mac, you get pretty good support via the Apple Store, until of course your beloved machine reaches 5 years old then it is obsolete.

- MikeSin2on 19-May-2012What horror.
- kmobon 19-May-2012My first car was a Fiat 500, bought in Cyprus in 1969. I loved it and still remember its number plate ........ DF906

- RamblingSidon 18-May-2012Yep take that shilling and that's all it is worth these days.
- RamblingSidon 15-May-2012Saw my tax dollars at work this morning. Its raining cats and dogs, and a town tractor comes down the road with a mowing attachment. He went around and cut all the verges, or at least where he could get in. I guess they had to be done, but something about doing it in the middle of a storm just didn't seem right......lol
- kmobon 15-May-2012wouldn't happen in Tesco's ............... or would it?1 commentMikeSin2 likes this

- RamblingSidon 13-May-2012Had a nice day Saturday, but today it is supposed to have thunder showers.
- RamblingSidon 13-May-2012Our gas prices are going down, but no decrease in the price of food though.

Hard to imagine anywhere on the globe that hasn't been over flown, or had the Google Earth people drive by. - RamblingSidon 11-May-2012I have been trying to convince myself that I need an iPad but haven't so far. I am looking at getting a new 15.4" MacBookPro. As soon as the new ones come out, the current crop will reduce in price. Glad you came around the the half bitten Apple.....MikeSin2 likes this
- kmobon 11-May-2012Bought myself a new Ipad2 today ..... super machine. I gave my android to my step daughter.

- kmobon 12-May-2012Meant to say itr does have usb, which you use to connect it to your pc or laptop for transferring if you wish.
- RamblingSidon 13-May-2012We have iCloud built into our OS and thanks for that tip about USB, I didn't realize iPads had it.
- kmobon 13-May-2012The plug for charging has a usb attached to it. It just a case of pulling it free and plugging into your laptop. If you have syncronised it goes ahead automatically, in your case it wouldnt be a problem as you have a mac.
- MikeSin2on 13-May-2012Interesting, I have been thinking about a tablet. Been looking at the Samsung range. Not really looked at the new Ipad. Technology improving so I did not rush into a purchase. Still undecided.
- kmobon 13-May-2012I bought the Ipad2 (the latest retails around £500, a too bit much for me) its a superb piece of equipment, very fast and reliable. The Android had more apps, especially free ones but I wouldn't swop the Ipad now.
- RamblingSidon 11-May-2012Here is another one for you Kev........

Although they say we could have picked up the base aircraft for around 40million it still takes a bit to convert it into a tanker. - RamblingSidon 10-May-2012Maybe he should give up his day job.........

MoD News - Entire Units Under Threat In Army Cutshttp://www.modoracle.com/news/Entire-Units-Under-Threat-In-Army-Cuts_25691.html?category=all
2 comments- kmobon 09-May-2012I think the days of massive RAF and Army bases have gone for good. I read today that the MoD is changing its mind about catapult launched fighters from the 'new' carriers and going for vertical liftoff planes just like the harriers they got rid of a few months ago. Unbelievavle bunch of idiots we have in government.
- RamblingSidon 10-May-2012You probably don't realize the master plan Kev..... mind you aren't alone no one else knows about it either. No doubt the catapults are already in place on the carriers, or should that just be carrier, so it will mean more money spent on putting those ramp things on the front. I seem to remember the guy who had the idea for those ramps got a princely 25 quid as he was in one of the services at the time.
- kmobon 09-May-2012Among infantry and armoured units facing the sack are 5 Rifles, The Coldstream Guards, 3 Mercian and 2 Royal Reg of Fusiliers as proposed by our wonderful coalition government. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and 5 Scots are in the firing line too.3 comments
- RamblingSidon 09-May-2012Would there be any left..... looks as if the Paras got away with it then....
- MikeSin2on 09-May-2012So the government has guaranteed civilian employment for entire units?
- kennon 09-May-2012There are four regiments to be disbanded in Scotland Black Watch the Argyls and 2 others cant remenber them off hand but are in the daily record today....
