Is it some kind of OCD thing? Don't the volume numbers show on the screen? Can you ears distinguish odd and even volume - mine can't? Should they be able to? I know it's the PTTGOYN thread but I'm intrigued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs B is terrible for this, even to the point where she thinks I put it on an odd number deliberately. She and the rest of you who do it need your heid looked at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Add Mrs Ranter to the list. Volume has to be an even number, or end in a 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the sliding bar appears in the telly, mark the screen with a felt pen...2, 4, 6, 8, 10. As high as you like. The numbers will then be available for future. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I've noticed that my laptop volume only goes up in increments of 2. Impossible to leave it on an odd number. That's intelligent product design. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Anyone want to buy 50" plasma for £50?? Volume stuck on number 40, but at that price you can't turn it down 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Co-commentators saying "Good evening" to the lead commentator the first time they speak during a game, as if they've just walked into the room and are speaking to them for the first time. It's annoying enough, but it's just happened in the Scotland-Netherlands hockey match, where the commentators are actually married to each other, and greeted each other as if they haven't spoken for weeks.* *I accept some married couples won't have spoken for weeks, but these two have been commentating together for multiple matches this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Pleat was one for saying 'Good evening everyone' at the start of England games years ago whenever he was introduced by the main commentator. Always thought it was a nice touch. Your version is clearly OFTW behaviour, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for them to say good evening on air for the person they've clearly been prepping with for the previous hour or so. Or living with for the last 10 years in this evening's case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
