Baby's Head Wetting Session


I just signed up a Vodafone mobile a week ago, the moment I received the phone, there was a missed call from a certain financial institute, the caller left a voice message to someone and asked him to call back, since I have deleted the voice message, I can't remember the name.

Two days later, I received a message, inviting "ME" to a Baby's Head Wetting Sesh, like this:
On Sat 27th, babys head wetting sesh for myself and Mr Clifton round and about town. Starting early doors, if your coming let me know, if you're not let me know, if you're not sure make your mind up and let me know. 
Since I didn't know what ""Baby's head wetting session" means, so I replied the message, asked if the sender knew who I was, the sender said, "Yes, you're an Old Bald man in Melton Mowbray."

I may be old, but I am definitely not bald. After doing a little bit of search, I found out that "Baby's head wetting" actually means drinking in a pub to celebrate newborn baby.

Congratulation whoever they are, anyway.

I felt sorry for that "Old Bald man", he might have been in financial difficulty, and lost his mobile phone, and also lost contact with his relative and friends too.

A year ago, I used land-line phone service provided by Virgin Media, and I always received a phone call to Mrs. Hampton. Now I moved to another place, and disconnected the phone, someone may take my number, and receive phone calls to Mr. Sheng.

This kind of wrong number calls and texts cost a lot of money, has anybody raised this kind of issues, and provides a way to stop wasting money?

coat-of-arms

Heraldry probably began with the knights in armour. When wearing a helmet in battle or in tournaments a knight could not be recognised; so he used symbols to decorate his shield and surcoat. The surcoat was the loose garment worn over the armour to protect it from rain or hot sun and actually was the "coat-of-arms"; it was decorated on the front and back with the same device as on the shield. The correct expression for entire design is an achievement . An achievement consists of the shield, helmet, rest, wreath, mantling and motto. These are the main parts. To them can be added supporters and a compartment. In the centre is the most important part, the shield . The surface of the shield is called the field  and on it the colourful charges are placed. The shield is called the arms or coat-of-arms  and can be drawn in any shape - in an upright position or slanting, which is the position it would fall into if hung on a peg. In Heraldry it slants to dexter. The helmet denot

You can find your Wireless Network Key on Virgin Media Wireless Router

We have a new netbook computer, and don't know where to find network key, which is needed to setup wireless connection. A network key may also be called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key. A wireless network key is a security feature that prevents unauthorized users from accessing a wireless network. An unprotected network is an unlocked virtual door, anybody within range can piggyback on the network undetected. I use Virgin media broadband with a Virgin media wireless router, this router has a WPA key taped on the router, that WPA key is an English word consisting of 10 letters. To tape network key on the router is a good idea, because we may never lose or forget a wireless network key as long as we possess the router.
