Any thing else terrible happening at the moment ? Perhaps the teachers , and the threat of strike. Did not the current teachers strike a deal to protect their own wages , to the detriment of newly qualified teachers. Now they are standing in solidarity with them ?

Conversation went something like this (paraphrasing from memory): Her: battery was almost gone. Phone was going to die' Garda: (looks at phone) 'It's at 23%, that's not going to die' Her: 'Well it would if an app started' That sounds like she was intending to use some app while she was driving along and needed to power up the phone to ensure she could use it.

If she hadn't mentioned anything else and just said she got done for plugging her phone on charge while driving I would agree with her that the guard in question could have shown discretion. I know he/she doesn't have to because the law is the law - but the law in this case is an ass - hence expecting some discretion. BTW I did listen - and I agree she brought up a lot of emotive reasons for this and for that, and she would have been better off just sticking to the basic facts of what actually happened when explaining her story.That is of course me believing what she said - but why go on the radio and not tell the truth - what are you looking to gain from that - I suspect she was telling the truth and that she was looking for some assurance that other people would feel the same way as her. People disliked her bringing in other reasons for getting off on the charge that she had invented in her head.

Haven't heard the term "run the battery in", but then again I'm not an iPhone Technician. You should listen back to the "lady" from yesterday (if you didn't hear it at the time though).
turbbo wrote: » LOL - apple just replaced the battery under warranty 3 weeks ago. Either you're completely wrong and I need to run the battery in a bit - or they didn't change the battery at all.

ButtersSuki wrote: » iPhone? Happens at the end of the battery life. My last iPhone (a mere 5, the shame!) used to go from (examples only) 87% to 3% instantly, 30%-ish to off etc. Plug it back in and it would revert to what the higher figure was. Very frustrating......your phone is about to die completely btw if it's that....click.ie do some good deals on refurbs though! :pac::pac: At least according to the show!

Speaking of PBH, I very briefly caught a snip of him on "You Are What You Eat" on RTE 1 last night as I was channel surfing. He's aged a lot since I last saw him. The stress of having to drive on the N11 from Wickle-low to Montrose a few times a month would catch up on anyone I suppose. :rolleyes:
