Morning all - I have a conundrum .
Blackberry or samsung galaxy ?

The cheap versions of the blackberry are meant to freeze a lot so I don't know what to do a lot of people are saying samsung galaxy - has anyone had problems with one of those ?

I hear them lauded a lot. And the Evo. Good alternatives to iPhone.

Thinking caps on please... I need to find a camel before tomorrow, obviously not a real one but don't mind if it's a figurine or soft toy. Had tried a few local toy shops, Argos and even the shop at the zoo. Anyone any bright ideas as to what kind of shop might have one? Am based in Belfast.

Thanks

Any kind of expensive toy store? Hamleys is like the toy version of harrods. I've seen similar stores abroad...

dreamer_ire · 15-10-2011 12:37pm

Think I may have just struck gold with the early learning centre... Off to shop. Thanks Aishae : )

Not one break or fracture, just minor bruises and abrasions.

I'll throw up pics in a bit, seriously miraculous.

Sounds like you had a lucky escape Banzai

God, Banzai hope you're doing ok!

I feel like a fraud in comparison now but I can lift my arm another bit more today, so yay!

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 4:44pm

Voice recognition software ftw must be some reasonably priced speech to text software out there for that!

I've seen the best out there. Takes ages to train and still has the odd hiccup.

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 6:09pm

Why are A&E nurses so hot? - are they meant to give you the delusion you've died and gone to heaven whilst you're in a critical state?

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 6:11pm

I used to work in retail selling all sorts of IT related products. One version of speech to text is Dragon software which actually works well for people with disabilities as most come with a bluetooth hands free kit. Sorry if it sounds like I'm advertising just pointing out that there is some good stuff out there. Even the best though can be slightly problemmatic.

Why some people like me are prone to injuries, for the sake of perving.

You should become an EMT then

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 6:21pm

I'd be no good as an EMT. The first thing I'd do while approaching the scene of a crash is bring a bag of plasters and a can of Budweiser so the occupants could take the edge of things while they wait for someone useful.

Aishae · 15-10-2011 6:21pm

I use dragon dictate on the iPhone. I use it to send texts and update Facebook sometimes. Though I mainly wanted it to use when somewhere quiet with someone who doesnt know fingerspelling.
It's quite accurate but you need to know how to dictate really. And also not overdo it.
I had dragon naturally speaking years ago. Jaysus it was rubbish....

Haha It's tempting sometimes - trust me!

I love the job though - even though we're not immune to getting spat at

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 6:38pm

Getting spat at? :eek: I'd give them the defib and tell them to give themselves a quick dart for the luls!

I think I'll be investing for the typing of my thesis, but for transcription is wont really work. I work with older people with intellectual disabilities, and so speech difficulties is a big issue, making it pretty much impossible for me to use for transcription.

Plus I tend to be making notes for my coding of the results as I go, it helps to transcribe your own material for getting close to your data.

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 6:44pm

Happened earlier this evenin - almost finishe duty

Aishae · 15-10-2011 6:48pm

Jaysus!!! Spat at. I'm a polite patient. What kind of people have you been servicing

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 6:56pm

I'd leave the spitters to suffer for awhile.

Again she says that word , unfortunately though we cant chose our patients - the nurses have to deal with a lot worse

Aishae · 15-10-2011 7:29pm

Servicing sounded better than rescuing from a dirty minded perspective!

I know a and e nurses must get the worst but still... Being spat at? It's not like you accidentally spit on someone the same way you can accidentally get sick on them

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 7:34pm

Finished shift now . One nurse got urinated on - she said it wasnt an acciden either

Aishae · 15-10-2011 7:37pm

Eek! Better to be spat on for sure

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 7:43pm

Im home for the weekend - i will have to turn some nurses.though

I'd go one worse and leave them a suprise in their pillow. That would surely teach someone that bodily functions are best left to the loo.

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 7:45pm

You mean some fresh chocolate mousse ?

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 7:47pm

Yes similar in a way. If someone is intent on pulling such a nasty stunt, up the anti alittle and see how far they're willing to go before giving up :P

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 7:53pm

As a med professional we unfortunately have to exude maturity. - at all times

As a retailer, professional conduct was expected, but that doesn't mean I didn't get away with blue murder when customers became difficult

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 8:02pm

Blue murder - blue movies , you have a pattern

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 8:03pm

You young lady are looking for patterns where there are none :P
