Tipping Point...
Why oh why do a seemingly majority of contestants get their release timing wrong so their counter stays upright on its edge and greatly increase the chance of a rider ?? Pretty sure they're not allowed a pre show practice but why keep repeating the timing error ?

So contestant A has a great drop then person B or C says 'Oh well done'... Why the fu*k are they congratulating their rival thus hastening their departure from the programme ? Totally stupid

If they did a study of the intelligence of quiz show contestants I'm certain Tipping Point would come out with the thickest average by some way. Every show there's at least one person you wouldn't trust to cross the road unaided

TV units where the hole in the back isn't big enough to fit a standard size plug through, bunch of thick Swedish cunts.

Wasn’t a problem when you could just take the plug off. Can’t remember the last electronics I bought where you could tho.

I'm late 50s now but have always slept badly. I can go to sleep in second at the end of the day but wake up like clockwork at 2/3am and generally awake for three hours or so. If I do happen to sleep though then I'm usually awake about 5. Used to it now, but it is so exhausting.

It isn't Sleep Apnea is it?

If you go to your GP he can refer you to the sleep unit at Walsgrave. They just give you a monitor you wear one night and then take back to them and will flag up if there's any issues.

I just put it down to busy life, nothing unusual, everyone is tried kind of thing until I fell asleep at the traffic lights one day and thought I'd better get checked. Turned out my quality of sleep was absolutely fucked to the point that in reality I wasn't actually getting any rest and recovery.

That would be interesting. I’d give a lot for one decent night’s kip at the moment.

My GP just did a short questionnaire, less than 10 questions, you can probably find it online. Was stuff like how likely are you to fall asleep sat watching tv and various other situations.

If you score high enough you do the full test which is easy, just a little deice you wear overnight one night and it records all the details. Then you have an appointment and they'll tell you what you need to do.

Def worth doing, if nothing else you can start ruling things out.

Had a guy who ran a company, kept falling asleep at the wheel while a crew of us had to be passengers!

Probably some idiot burnt his house down so now they're all that shitty moulded plastic type plugs.

Have you tried CBD bath bombs? I tried when I had trouble sleeping and they sorted it out straight away.

Yeah there is that, I'm surprised they still come with a plug in tbf with the current trend of separating out each item, yes I know but a plug's only worth 50p but think of all the telly's that get supplied annually!

Yeah, I just need to trim it up a bit, no big deal, just an annoyance.

I didn't want to go down that route as it'll probably void warranties and just general ease of use in future if I need to change anything.

Ive got some CBD bath salts that are pretty good too.

Also I smoke weed.

Don't lots of things also plug in to the back of the device now, i.e. don't have a fixed cable. All my AV stuff is like that so no problem threading plugs through the back of cabinets.

With the things I'm putting in there, it's about a 50/50 split with detachable cords.

Actually try finding one. Not as easy as you might expect

I’ve got several in my garage, or you could try B&Q.

He'd literally keep dozing off and instantly wake himself up jk or we Would, imagine a trip to Germany for instance, no it was usually usually shareholder meetings or political type stuff and would involve working over night then get your head down somewhere till say 1-00 or 2-00 then rip it out again and drive home!

These tedious cunts on social media who write things like "What in the universal credit is that?" usually sneering at somebody poor. Wankers.

Discovery drivers
Just pulled onto the Warwick Bypass last night going to Leamington. Straight away into two lanes, but surprisingly no 50mph speed limit. So was in outside lane doing about 70 as other cars were filtering on into the second lane. Disco comes speeding up behind me, I see him coming and that he is travelling faster than me, so I look for a space in the second lane to pull into. Just put my indicator on and the impatient wanker starts flashing me to pull over, so I thought fuck you, took my indicator off and stayed in the outside lane.
When a space came next to me he undertook me and gave all the f's and b's as he sailed past, he went in front of me and pulled away, only to be blocked by bout 5 cars doing 70 quarter of a mile down then road

Police helicopter out. A couple of hundred off road bikes going down the road and it's perfectly acceptable nowadays.

Kettle them in, arrest them and crush the bikes.

If a police helicopter is out, it would suggest it’s not perfectly acceptable nowadays.

It is because they know they will get away with it, faces covered.

Tommo1993 · Sep 15, 2024

Yeah, circling round my estate now. Can’t get the dog in, she must protect the garden from it. Pain in the arse she is!

Coventry's lack of presence on the map of England in general.

Also, add Coventry's lack or presence in general as its the 9th most populated City in England.

Ebay current adverts of just buy random spares/parts to fix an issue as a DIYer.

(I agree that many things can be changed by an amateur/DIY person) but try explaining why your cars brakes have failed to a court that you changed yourself and killed a child.

Patronising cunts. "Ohhh, the part you need is on Ebay"

Middle ages I believe, some shenanigans over the king or something!
