I might go for it depending on how desperate I get during the playoffs. Think you get a month's money back trial. Worked fine for BBC iplayer and various bookies which are usually tricky when I was off in the Canarys a week or so ago.

Torpar Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 US TV ads are brutal, every time I watch channels from Buffalo half the ads are for drugs (with a million side effects) and the other half are for lawyers with catchy slogans, sometimes when my brain is switched off and I'm staring into space I hear the slogan looping in my head... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 A garage I go to sells coffee that comes in 3 sizes: regular, large and x-large, except they are just the same size as standard small, medium and large anywhere else. Someone, somewhere has thought, and others have agreed, that this is a cunning marketing ploy, presumably to fleece customers of more money. Well you can imagine how smug I felt having just asked for a large, assuming I would get the biggest coffee available, only to get the middle one, thus denying them money they could have had from me. Getting a smaller coffee than I would have liked was a small price to pay to show it is a fucking stupid idea. Hopefully they go into administration tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had a BMW that could be closed by hand or you could use the wee button. One day I start closing the boot by hand and he screams "NOOOO!" as he runs over to me, stops my hand and presses the wee button. "You'll break the closing mechanism" he says. Fucking idiot.

My motor takes a massive strop if you try to close the boot by hand. It's not worth the fucking hassle. It's obviously female. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorised boot solving the use arm to open boot problem Keyless cars solving the use key to start car problem Automatic windscreen wipers solving the turn on the wipers when it's raining problem All of this effort could have been directed to giving us flying cars by now. Add auto full beam lights utterly pointless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Aussies love to abbreviate everything by shortening it and firing an 'o' or 'y' on the end - service station = servo, bottle shop = bottlo, fireman = firey - but I've just heard one that is a step too far: volly instead of volunteer. I hope this full country burns to the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
