I don't think anyone who met both of them could ever be confused by who is who.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I did once answer the phone to a persistent cold caller and just yell "WHERE THE F***'S THE AMBULANCE" then hung up.

It looks like my colleague old BMW is not able to handle the new Bluetooth implementation in the SGS4 phone... it must be a compatibility issue. It looks frustrating as it should be backwards compatible... 
By the way... good piece of advice here...

Having you tried turning it off and back on again?

Yes, no luck with that, it looks like it is not compatible with some old inbuilt car Bluetooth systems.
I've been told of soundabout (an app that could help)...
Let's see.

No trouble with my Droid connecting with my Toyota.
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, but we haven't tried pairing it.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

It doesn't works only with some cars, on some Toyota's, Peugeots and Renaults it works flawlessly, in some BMW's it doesn't work.
It also works with Parrot CK3000 systems.
It looks like the implementation of Bluetooth in old BMW cars is not 100% compatible, or that SGS4 is not compatible with old implementations of Bluetooth...

My daughter's S4 works fine hands-free.

Ours are working with some cars but not on others...
I'll try a recommended app soundabout that could help with that...

If I'm applying for a Techie job, do I really need to be on twitter (?), stick my Farcebook page on my CV and generally be visible ? I was under the impression employers wouldn't be impressed by some of this, is it to make the Arts graduates/Business studies refugees feel like they are on the hot edge of technology?

Depends what's on your wall...you might want to "sanitize" it for a few months in case potential employers do go looking for it...

I understand that it has become quite normal that they do so. However, it's hard to keep it clean because it's so easy to go all the way back to the beginning of (FB) time... 
Personally, I don't care, and I don't list it on my CV either. As far as I'm concerned, that is a part of the private sphere and has nothing to do on the CV. If they want to try to find it themselves, go ahead, be my guest. I've got nothing almost nothing to hide...

LinkedIn yes, Twitter probably (if your tweets are IT related), Farcebook no.
Also - put your CodeProject articles on your CV - good differentiator.

Yup, already done that.

Problem with that, then they'll read my messages...

Compared to some of the stuff I have done/been a party to that's not my main worry...

My tuppence worth is that Facebook and twitter are not required for a techie and in fact a lot of tech firms don't like their staff on these (too much chance of staff saying something bad about the company or letting slip something the company didn't want public) - most do like LinkedIn however
but I doubt there is much of a stain two the other nowadays (unless you have stuff that you wouldn't like them to know - bit like griffs 100 hot sheep page)
