I notice they’ve started pushing the ad free service for a few quod extra a month. Always the same racket, start ad free then ratchet them up until they’re intolerable then offer a paid way out.
On a related note, having to pay to watch classic Simpsons on demand. It’s 30 years old FFS

Teenagers driving vans, who should be giving way to oncoming traffic, but don’t. Who then proceed to wave their arms around spasmodically, as apparently, certain rules don’t apply to them.

How I still haven’t gone on a GTA-style rampage in frustration at road-based annoyances is incredible.

I've been paying 4.99 a month since August. Was supposed to be for three months. Literally the price of a pint.

There may be something to be said for keeping physical media like DVD's...the streaming services could always remove what they like!

Yeah, I went back to buying books rather than kindle downloads, mind you costs an arm and a leg not to mention space in living room to buy a new bookcase. 😁

The ads for online bingo. They show lots of “friends” on the beach, in gardens having parties and generally lots of fun! In reality sitting at a kitchen table flitting away their money.

Same as people who don’t reverse park in car park bays. Fucking stupid.

14:45 today, Asda Walsgrave car park. One reverses out into the other. Bingo!

As glorious as a double whammy is, it’s perfectly crap and densely moronic from both. Why are people allowed to buy licenses from Temu?

Our dog's current vet, soon to be ex-vet. We think our dog, Max, ate something that scratched his throat and caused him to cough so we took him to the vet. The 1st vet felt round his throat and said that it was probably inflamed and gave us some antibiotics & if he still had the problem they would knock him out and use an endoscope to check his throat. The coughing came back as soon as we ran out of antibiotics so we arranged for them to have a look and that was yesterday. Another vet did the procedure & when we picked him up she showed us 5 x-rays they had taken including 1 from either side of his lungs & heart, when we asked if they had looked down his throat she told us that they would have to refer him to get that done as they can't do it in their surgery. She wanted us to pay to have the x-rays analysed by a specialist which we politely declined. We ended up with a £1000 bill, Max is insured but not the point, to do a pointless procedure that told us nothing. We are definitely changing vets & are considering contacting RCVS to complain & may contact the insurance company to check what workday happen if we changed vets during an existing claim. We are still angry about it today!

It's so shit, they know you're going to pretty much accept what they say because if a vet tells you your sick dog needs something what are you going to do?

Years ago now but my dog wasn't right, the vet gave him strong painkillers which I'm convinced made the problem way worse and led to him having to go to a specialist and have an op that cost well over £10K. PetPlan at the time limited claims to £3.5K or something similar.
