Walk into the bedroom and there’s a framed cartoon picture of Stevie G looking down on the bed. That’s coming down until just before we leave. Seriously though, what grown man has a (poorly drawn) picture of that scouse nobber at the end of the bed? Christian Purslow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 In laws staying over. They stink. They smoke, a lot. Even when they don't smoke they stink. I'm not even sure it's their clothes, it just emanates from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something about this women I really don't like and can't out my fingers on it. Nah she really was on Radio 1 in the morning so she genuinely was late. Not saying you’re wrong about her. I get the whiff of arrogance as well. But on this occasion the lateness was justified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 24 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24 Maya Jama is basically the antithesis of who I am and what my interests are, but she's mainstream enough that I know who she is through osmosis. I'm sure she's a lovely person but I have an innate distaste for anyone who you suspect got where and what they are through their looks. You feel like she's is one accident with a kettle 15 years ago from being nobody. There's little to no substance there, she's famous for how effectively her looks make people want to shoot ropes.

Rds1983 Posted August 24 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24 (edited) The new style of 'beat the robot' ai captcha that have come out recently. The new Microsoft one especially. Tiny little images and a requirement to correctly match 10 out of 10. AI training for free. It's one thing when it takes a few seconds, this takes minutes.

fightoffyour Posted August 24 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24 Google Maps. You used to be able to search for a restaurant, see the info, reviews, website, and the map. Click on that, you're in, and you can see where it is/get directions. Now there's a map there, but you can't click on it. Okay there's a Directions button, but it still loads up into a separate Google Maps website rather than being the same page. Plus, you might not want directions but just to look at the map of the surrounding area, in which case you have to clear the directions. Why the **** have they done this? It worked perfectly before.

fightoffyour Posted August 24 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24 The EU attached bottle caps. This makes it difficult to drink from the bottle and, more importantly, to actually re-attach the cap. I have to rip it off anyway to be ablw to screw the lid back on normally with ease. What problem does this solve? Who is taking the time to recycle a plastic bottle and not putting the cap back on? You crush the bottle, squeeze the air out, and screw the lid on to keep it compact. Are there millions of rogue bottle caps littering the streets while the bottles are all being recycled? I can't see it somehow. Can we not be trusted to operate bottle caps anymore? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had any experience of their routing because I've never wanted to Google has got so bad that I use it to discover where a road is and then turn it off. Almost guaranteed my route is quicker and shorter, even with road closures I navigate around them better. And I’m absolutely sick to death of passengers telling me I'm going the wrong way because they are using google maps in the car to make sure I’m going the right way.
