Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I foolishly bought a Bacon Double XL meal from Burger King tonight. I reckon I could have bought a filet steak, a bag of frozen chips and be quids in, next time I will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The bin bags I recently got for my kitchen bin are very flimsy and begin to tear when I’m trying to remove the bag from the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, but I couldn't be fucked going through the whole rigmarole of putting my card back in and starting again for what would probably have been less than a gallon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you smear some cooking oil around the inside of the bin before you put them in it will come out no problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The directors of a live fitba’ match on TV who cut to a replay of something bollocks like a tame shot going well wide of the post, while the live game is carrying on, and something happens. It happened in the last Scotland game, when they cut to a lengthy slo-mo replay of, well, a tame Che Evans shot, then they cut back sharpish to the live action, as Che Adams had actually intercepted a crap throw-out from their keeper, and we very nearly missed a goal, or at least, a shot at goal. Doesn’t happen in live St Mirren games. We stopped having shots at goal two months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, I'm a buyer and WFH. So look at my own email on the work computer. Regularly have to google search for suppliers and items. When these companies and goods starting appearing on your phone on your FB even though never use Work PC for FB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse when it's a shot of the manager, just standing with his hands in his pockets or a notable in the crowd. I'm also irritated by the use of super slo mo. This would be great for watching tricks or controversial foul/ dive calls but seems to only get used for facial expressions of the most famous players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I remember a cup game featuring Everton years ago where they cut away to some meaningless shite thinking the game was virtually over, only to miss an injury-time winner. That's a paddlin', surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a paddlin', surely. In the early days of fitba coverage here, they would try to squeeze in an advert break whenever there was a halt in the game as they do with American sports. Throw-ins, player down, ball in the neighbour's garden etc., let's try and sell some cars. And of course, we couldn't come back to the game until the advert was over, regardless of what was happening on the pitch. It wasn't good for my blood pressure.

They cut away to an ad break and missed Everton’s 118th minute winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cut away for a break before the game had ended? Surely not. And not as recently as 2009? You's expect that kind of stuff in the 70's or 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
