foreveryoung Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I'm not stereo typing at all, trying my best not to anyway. But any lad on a electric motor bike the Sur Ron type, is generally up to no good. Most dressed in a fake trackys, balaclava on, racing round the roads, taking no notice of red lights, zipping through shopping centers. Just arrest the f****s already, they are all on Instagram doing wheelies down the road, or showing off how many phones they have stolen in a day. I have many times thought a little nudge in my car over a high bridge, would put a whole community out there misery from these wannabe gangsters!!

I'm really not keen on the electric scooters/bikes, especially when you see them on the pavement. But that last sentence seems a bit OTT, and potentially bad taste after recent events.

I've had unlimited data for year's and it did used to come in handy when I constantly travelled for work. Nowadays though I rarely use more than 4 or 5GB a month as am constantly on WiFi. Will probably look for a cheaper contract with less data when I renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, it’s not something I recall being offered at any time since unlimited was a thing. Even when I was on a PAYG SIM I never hit the 10GB monthly limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I wear a baseball cap (the right way) if its pretty sunny and I'm out and about. I'm a baldy and have very fair skin. I will burn to shit at the drop of a hat (literally) But if it's proper hot it has to be a wide brim bucket hat. Provides all round protection for face,, ears and back of neck and much cooler to wear than baseball hats. Edited July 9, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both do a similar job, the Tilley is a sort of canvas material and the bush hat is leather. I don’t currently have a baseball cap but I'm not averse to them as long as they are the flat old fashioned kind and preferably plain black or dark blue.

AlwaysAVFC Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I wear a baseball cap quite a lot. I'm often outdoors, being bald and formerly ginger I do have to protect my head. Likewise I have to make sure I take it off now and again to avoid looking like Stewart Cink I wear it throughout the year, whether that's to keep the sun off or keep my head warm unless it's really cold then it will be a beanie type hat. I have tried other hats, I either don't feel they suit me or they're not comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had, or if they swiped your phone from you mid call, you would realise that last sentence is not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty, but still feel talking about running kids over and knocking them off bridges so they die is a bit OTT. Each to their own though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I'm sure it's in here already but I'm too lazy to search: Credits at the start of movies and TV shows. And the fact that "skip credits" is a button you have to click and not the default. Literally the only product that insists on telling you the names of the people who made it. Also: People who don't search post history to see if thier topic has already been covered. rocket polishers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Credits at the start of bloody shows and films. In my opinion the skip option should be the default. Just irritating. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 On 07/07/2023 at 15:44, Davkaus said: As part of the review into the inadequate and dangerous maternity practices at NUH, the chief exec has finally deigned to meet with us along with other families who've been key in initiating an independent review into their failings. As part of that he's going to make a public apology in front of the media. We know this because his assistants have contacted us to ask what we'd like him to say A brief follow up from this. We got an, on the face of it, sincere apology, and after a year plus of campaigning, with the support of NHS England, we've got the review to be changed to opt out rather than opt in, which is a pretty big win. At this public event that they invited parents of dead and injured babies along to in order to issue their big PR apology in front of the media, among the several exhibits was one containing their latest training model of realistic resuscitation babies that they invited the public to have a go on. Well played, lads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Adverts on YouTube. Not the concept, just the frequency of them now. They’re getting insane. Im watching a video now. It’s 55 mins long. The first advert break was 90 seconds into the video, after having adverts before the video too. I’m 35 minutes on and just hit my 6th advert break. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google are ludicrously wealthy so there really isn’t any need to be so greedy chasing the ad revenue. They should limit what the uploader can slot into their videos.
