I was round at a friends place yesterday who is restoring an AJS which was bought new in Westray. The old chap who bought it gave my friend a picture of him astride the bike when it was new. Leslie has pinned it up on the wall for inspiration. As I was examining the photograph, I couldn't quite make out the name on the fork shroud, so I place a thumb and forefinger on it to expand it! So used to these ipads and phones these days! Christine thinks it's time I was put down!

Yep, a few times now :-[
Everything, almost, I use a tablet for and probably at least 8 years now. These little cadence / quick routine things become quite second nature dont they.
-
I use a Kindle almost exclusively.
I have found myself tapping on the page of a book to turn it

Ian, I have done that on my computer screen when tired - it's not a touch screen!! ::)
-
Yep I'm in the club on that. Makes one feel less stupid knowing that!
-
Yep, I'll own up to that. Regularly do it on the non touch screen PC and have also been spotted trying it with the newspaper recently 🤣🤣🤣🤣

On a newspaper! Awesome!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Those replies make me feel much better now - I'll sleep easy tonight (bet I'll still need to get up for a pee though!)

You could always cheat and take a pic on your dumfone then expand that

I’m afraid I’m guilty too, Ive already admitted to Ian over the old landline. So don’t worry Ian there’s a few for the “big injection” when the time comes.

Oh, that's not cheating Bryan, that's using your brain - but that was the bit that was missing when I was looking at the picture.

Tried looking into the rear-views...
...while pushing a wheelbarrow :o
-
I've stood pressing the car remote waiting for the house door to unlock.

I'm glad this forum is populated by other numpties and that I'm not just an isolated (basket) case. Not with a wheelbarrow ST but as it's usually quiet up here, I find when I'm walking in busier cities that I check the non-existent rear view mirror when I need to hurry past someone. 🤡

My younger brother calls such fails "Brain Farts".

My equivalent was a few years back when I was watching my son play football. I missed a goal in the match, and found myself instinctively looking for the Sky remote control so I could 'rewind' and watch again.

I keep picking up my phone to change tv channels

There appears to be a fine line here between all of us being totally normal, for our age group, or totally bonkers 😂😂😂😂

. Sorry cant see that line. Its just a fuzzy blur!!
-
I would never want to be grouped with 'normal' folk, so it's mates with the bonkers crowd for me!
I must admit that when Christine is having a rant at me - I sometimes point the remote at her! The cuts and bruises are barely noticeable now!

I do that with the remote mute button too. Strangely, it doesn't make things better!

Let me stop you good Folks in your tracks........it's NOT us who are crackers......it's the politicians who are crackers in this country....aided and abetted by the Senior Civil Servants who all suffer from elbow and arse disease.
The real worry (for us all) is that no matter who we elect next time - from whatever party, they will be no better.....they are all useless - that's why they become MP's cos they can't succeed in any other walk of life !
Whenever Roy Hall and me meet up for a natter I always end up smiling at how much alike we are with our take on life......just two ordinary blokes from ordinary backgrounds, but we both see just what's wrong with society, government, councils....you name it and we can see the problems and usually we can see the answers. It ain't rocket science is it !
It will soon be Christmas.

........and it's impossible to change it - we only get to vote for people THEY put forward or parachute in.
Enough! I cry! Lest we should get our collars felt by Steve!

Back in the1960s a lot of MPs had actually got up early every morning to go to work.
Nowadays we have career politicians who have no experience of real life
