discussed how they have banged their heads unintentionally on objects
before. Some examples included metal shutters and post boxes. This led
into a discussion surrounding the benefits of having a post box and where
you can get them. The post boxes from an post have two.slots for keys you

also arrange for an e-mail to be sent to you when you get mail in your box.
A lot of newer doors also do not have letter boxes anymore. Many people
talked about the rubbish they used to get through their letterboxes in the
past. The conversation briefly switched to the problems with heat being let
out by letterboxes and how to seal them up.

Pat mentioned his iPod touch and that his e-mails on it are going

as regards updates. The participants were not sure what the issue may be.
Ken thought it still may be the wi fi or maybe it should be reset. Jackie

were made. The new member brought up select to speak on the google phones
