Dog Attack

[grumperbear]

Last week l visited a customer in the evening to fit their blinds.
The husband answers the door whilst holding a large dog by the collar which was barking.

"Can you put the dog away" l ask.

"No he is OK, he only barks" says the customer, " lts the little dog that you want to worry about".

The son who has been keeping the little dog in his rooms, opens his door to see who has rung the bell.

The little dog is down the stairs in a shot, ( looked like some sort of bull terrier in the dark ), step ladders gone flying, tool box is used to try and fend off this thing. The big dogs starting to go crazy, little dog has got his teeth into my shoe, l'm bashing the little dog with my tool box to try and make it let go. Customer is now trying to smack little dog whilst trying to hold large dog back. This goes on for about 30 seconds. ( seemed a lifetime as it happened)

Little dog then lets go and shoots straight upstairs followed by the big dog with the owner shouting abuse at them and the son for letting the dog out.

"Sorry about that" says the owner, "he usally goes for your ankles" and adds "l did say it was the little one to watch out for".

Quickist fitting l have done, and they told me to keep the change, all £2 of it. Cheers.

Suppose it had been a child who had gone to that house, people should not keep dogs like that if it has done that sort of thing before.

Dogs are horrible things.
One end bites and the other end sh*tes!

The only answer to the statement " He's so friendly he wont hurt you will you Tiddums"

is

"Sorry Mrs
" When youve been bitten by as many dogs as I have in this job, and when youve had to hit them with a hammer to get them off your leg they are all the same in my book love.!!"

For its own sake I suggest you take it and put it somewhere else right now!!!

Can I show the scar I got from one I had to put down?"

Only 3 months ago it was --it took four belts of a Measuring Stick to silence it--This Stick in fact!"" ( Waving your weapon in her face!!)

Watch them banish the little nuts*ing horror to the back kitchen or whereever"

Have to be honest with you love --They are a menace and the only ones that attack you are the ones the owner says are gentle!!

Never fails--owners turn sympathetic with you, and tell you of the time it bit the dustmen only last month!!!!

When you come to fit you will never see hare nor hide of the liottle horror.....

When I rule the world all dogs will be banished. Period

I was at a farm the other day measuring a window. The donkey sized guard dog came bounding up to the window barking its head off. It the stood on its back legs and leapt against the window, shattering the glass as it tried to get to me.

Funny how expensive that blind was priced at. So sorry I didn't get the job.

I run Tom Tom on the V1620 and it works fine as long as you exit TomTom when you arrive at a customers, as I have found that it can cause problems with using the printer as there is a conflict on Bluetooth.

To run TomTom and SAM on the same SD card, you will need a new larger SD card, I bought a 1Gb one, as I can also store my MP3s on it. But any card which is larger than the combined capacity of the other two will be fine.

To transfer SAM and TomTom onto the SD card you need to put the PDA in the charging cradle, and have configured your PC with active sync. (on the cd that came with the phone)

You need to make certain that active sync does not try and convert your files, so in ActiveSync choose tools and then options, and then click on the 'Rules' tab and in the section 'File Conversion' click the Conversion Settings button and make certain that the Check Box 'Convert Files when copied or moved' is empty, if there is a tick in it then click on the tick to clear it. Close the windows that opened whilst you were doing this.

Now you need to copy the contents of the two SD cards (the one provided for SAM, and the one for TomTom) onto your PC

First create a new folder on your PC hard disk to copy all the files into, perhaps name it SDCard, you can do this from 'My Computer', click on the 'local disk' probably named C: and then File, New, Folder.

With your PDA in the cradle and the first SD card inserted, on your PC go back to 'My Computer' if everything is connected correctly, you should see an icon 'Mobile Device' double click on this and in the list of files there should be an icon 'My Pocket PC' double click on this, and you will see a folder named 'Storage Card', double click on this and you will see the contents of the SD card. You need to copy the whole of the SD card to your computer, so select all files in the folder, and then choose to copy them, (shortcut is Ctrl-A and then CTRL-C) now goto the new folder you created and paste the files into it (Ctrl-V), repeat this for the second SDCard.

Now put the new large SDCard in the PDA, and copy all the files in your new folder containing the files from the two SDCards back onto the new SD Card in the PDA.

You should now be able to run TomTom and SAM on the same SDCard, if there are any problems you can always go back to using the old cards, as all you have done is copy their contents onto the new larger card.

Hope this helps.

Of course, .... it would be quicker & cheaper in the long run to just buy a dedicated machine & avoid all the hastle!!!!!!!

Avoiding all the soft resets etc!!

TomTom are still the best in most tests.

Avoid TomTom300, but the rest are good!!!!!!

Anyone managed to get d**n SAM to connect to the internet via their pc's broadband connection?

I have a wireless router and would have thought it would be loads cheaper to connect to Hillarys via that rather than using the gprs connection via vodaphone.

Go into ActiveSync on your PC. Choose Options and click on Rules tab. At the bottom where it says Pass Through choose the Internet option and you should be sorted.
