BOF Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 Let's see what actually happens first. If we get too angry before the event, and Apple end up not doing it, they end up with the higher ground and we can't have that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their newest version of the bog standard headphones you get with an iphone are actually pretty good. Relatively speaking of course. For headphones that you get free with a phone, they're decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually reasonably good to have as a pair lying around but I wouldn't choose to use them if I had the choice. gonorrhea of the ear was maybe a slight exaggeration.

Sennheiser and audio technica are the only brands i'll use. Excellent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted December 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2015 A guy at work coming in wearing a big red, thick, Christmas jumper complete with a big Rudolf. I can forgive him if it is a seasonal number, but no, it's a big red, thick, Christmas jumper that has a big Ruldolf the Reindeer on the front. Do it in 2 weeks! Humbug.

troon_villan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So Apple are removing the 3.5mm socket from their next phones, forcing you to either buy new headphones or spend what will most likely be £30-50 on an adapter to use your old headphones? Apple are so anti-consumer, and this pisses me off. Even though it shouldn't because I've never bought their stuff and never will! The fact people completely lap it up is so annoying. I despise them as a business. Apple PieFace time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2015 Having stuff delivered to my neighbours. I don't know why really, but I feel really awkward about it. I'd so much rather they left stuff in a 'safe place' (to a better standard than Yodel, admittedly). I hate the awkward conversation getting the parcel, the feeling I've put them out by having to sign for something even though I'd hoped to be around when something came. Also means I've got to wrap anther ton of chocolates for Christmas to say thanks.. Also, anyone who gets on a bus without their pass or change ready. My journey home everyday is bollocks with traffic, I don't need some clearing in the woods getting on a stop nobody ever uses and then spending 2 minutes patting himself down searching for his pass in every pocket and orifice he has. You're at a bus stop. You're waiting for a bus. Presumably you know you have a pass. Have the **** thing ready. You're wasting everyone's day. word removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted December 3, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 I know I've done this one before, but it's come up again. Publishers 'translating' novels between British English and American English. It usually gets brought up in the context of stuff like Harry Potter having a load of US terminology inserted, because American kids can't be expected to understand words like 'headmaster', it has to be 'principal', and so on. But it's equally bad the other way round. I'm currently doing one of my very rare 're-reads' - of Irwin Shaw's 1949 WWII novel "The Young Lions". It's a great book, but my edition (UK, 1980) has obviously been edited to use British spellings throughout, and - worse still - words and usages that I'm quite certain Shaw never wrote - trousers, petrol, pavement, lift, semi-detached, etc., etc. It's ridiculous, and totally jars in what is a quintessentially American novel. An insult to the readers' intelligence, if ever I saw one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2015 People moving deadlines. Deadline for the work I'm doing now (probably the most important thing I do in a fiscal year) is Christmas (or the last day before we break up for xmas). Last year it caused me the most stress I've ever experienced as it took longer than I thought and I was doing 13 hour days to finish it at the last minute. So this year I was a good boy, planned way in advance, set up timing plans to get it all finished a few weeks early, with some weeks left before christmas for slippage and checking. Once word of this got out, everybody then assumed they were getting data early and are now on my back because I haven't got the information when i said I would (4 weeks ahead of the deadline!) I'm more or less done now, but it's caused me shit loads of stress again, all because people have been needlessly harassing me for the data and I've ended up having to rush again. If everybody stuck to the original deadline then I'd be sitting pretty with 3 weeks in the bag to chill out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
