Whilst parked on the M1 today I got bored and decided to test out the voice recognition on my new hands free kit by saying some profanities and seeing who it would ring. Here are some good results all of which were tested at least 3 times with sucess. "P*ss Flaps" calls one of my clients in...

Hi All After 3 week's mostly away from the forum dealing with family matters I am now back "on the boards" See you around :thumb:

Who's up for another forum brew? Fixed recipe? Some room for adjustments? What style? I fancy a mild but will have a go at what the majority prefer. Post your thoughts here and we will get it organised :thumb:
