Re: Testing my limits (driving)

Yes, you can fly to America but the scenery on the way is a lot different. Riding through country villages at a snails pace due to traffic give your wife an interesting ride rather than endless views of tarmac. You of course are forced to drive rather than steer in a relatively straight line on the ...

Re: Booted out of Facebook

Along with FB changing of password the unfortunate thing is that you should now change all passwords, including on Bank and Utility company apps.

Appealing to FB is probably a waste of time, as you have said it is likely a computer algorithm deciding that a computer algorithm is correct.
