Easily fixed. Do like I do - just remember to check your flies are done up before using self checkout.
I rest my case. If the banality is confined to the lounge, the it is way to avoid it. The real issue is interesting and or useful threads are hijacked by the lounge brigade
Added to the idiots who can't work out how their indicator works - or who have just never found it - we can now add the fools who haven't worked out how to turn their lights on. Fairly thick fog coming to work - fog where using front and rear fog lights actually made sense for once. Trying to pull out of a junction and almost failed to spot the car which thought that sidelights were adequate for the conditions (they weren't). This guy was soon followed by a bloke who thought it was fine to drive around with no lights on at all, in a dark grey car, thus ensuring complete invisibility. Why do I have to share the Earth with these mentally deficient people, and why aren't they in an institution somewhere instead of behind the wheel of a car?
You surely didn't think that a thread entitled "What gets your back up?" in the Lounge area was in fact about what are the best disc rotors to use on a 996 for track use? It's a pretty well laid-out forum, thus making it easy for me never to venture into the Multistrada badlands.
I think I have enough material 'that gets my back up' to get on to the Grumpy Old Men show.Please share with me all your moans about television news broadcasts-so I can see if they agree with me. One for starters-before the news proper starts we have the 'on tonights news'.Then half way through the news we have'on the news so far'.at the end of the news we have'tonights main news'. Why do I watch the news then?Sophie Raworth.:smile:
3 rules of presentation: a. Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em b. Tell 'em c. Tell 'em what you've just told 'em. :smile: Ps. Sophie Raworth's breasticles are worth watching the news for
Adding to the above, why do American tv shows on the discovery channel now insist on telling you whats going to happen in the episode before it even starts? WTF is that all about? You flick Gold Rush on for example and you know whats coming before the programme actually starts, they are all at it now! "in this weeks episode, the guys find f*%k all gold", whats the point in watching it now. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr And the ads, as glid says, bastard 20mins worth in every hour these days. I record everything now so I can flick through all the shit they want you to purchase. AND WHY ARE THE ADS SO FECKIN LOUD TOO!
I record most shows that I watch too so I can just zip through to watch the bits I want. The X Factor results programme is just 5 mins long in our house
And another thing.Why have 2 newscasters sitting next to each other taking turns to tell us the story?always reminds me of Bill and Ben!They were more entertaining though.
Another annoying television thing: Not only do you get the ads, but they tell you before the ads what's coming up, then you have the ads, then you get a 5 minute recap about what the previous 20 minutes were about - for all those texting and Facebooking who weren't paying attention. Then the whole process repeats. It all means that for every 30 mins of new television, you get about 30 mins of stuff you have either seen, are going to see anyway, or don't want to see. So yes, recording programmes nowadays is the only way out. As we marketing people know, ad spend is moving massively from press and TV to on-line. i wonder why...
