Oh, actually... Quote According to Abba Arika, Ham castrated Noah on the basis that, since Noah cursed Ham by his fourth son Canaan, Ham must have injured Noah with respect to a fourth son. Emasculating him thus deprived Noah of the possibility of a fourth son. According to Samuel, Ham sodomized Noah... ... maybe not. Quote The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51 Wiki It's actually not the land of ham at all. It's the land of beef bacon.

It’s in excellent condition, no dents, scratches, cracked glass or anything like that. I was initially offered £180 to send it them. They just came back to me to say they’ve checked it over and deemed it to be Grade C and will offer me a revised £105. I had 2 options, accept it or reject/return it. I click reject and get the message they will take another look and then come back to me. I will insist on having it sent back it they try and offer me a penny under what they offered. Absolute crooks (avoid uberlink.co.uk) On 21/01/2022 at 10:01, Genie said: They offered an improved £121 but I told them to stuff it and send me the handset back I got my phone back and sent it to webuyanyphone.com, they offered the same £180 but also had a promo code for an extra £5. Sent the phone, they checked it and quickly approved it at full price. Money (£185) in the bank 48 hours later. Looking at the reviews of uberlink many complaints about lowballing them once they sent the phone, and sadly many people reveal they accept the offers as it was just easier.

PussEKatt Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I bought a cheap 10"tablet,just to store/show my pictures.After switching it on it updates itself and updates itself just about every time I turn it on.I have no option to switch the updates off. FFS,why do I need updates just to see my pictures on the screen ?!IMHO the tablet could update itself 20 times in the next month and will that make the sligest difference to how the pictures look ? I dont think so. I would have that THE most important option would be "switch updates on/off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could possibly turn off wifi if you only want to use it to look at photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents who name their child Jaxson should be reported. I believe I know of this school, my brothers lad goes to a school with a number of Jackson’s as well as jaxson I’m guessing it has to be the same place, surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughters' school year groups included at least three "Aaron"s. Now When I Wor A Lad, that name was pronounced "Air-an". But now it seems to have become "Arran". Modern life is rubbish.
