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.

It seems to be written by someone who has seen the Simpsons but not really understood why it’s funny.

I don’t really bother with anything past season 10. But the episodes are hard to find without paying through the nose.

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.

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.

Vets say they are under pressure to bring in more money per pet

Some tell the BBC they are encouraged to compete over the number of procedures they carry out on pets.

I’m quite partial to a faggot every now and then, however just recently they only seem to be available in packs of six.
Which is just a bit too greedy for me.

If you took onboard the shit that usually goes into faggots then a pack of one would be one too many...

You’re 100% correct. Pack of one would be ideal. It’s not exactly something I eat on a regular basis fortunately.

I tend to watch Youtube a lot and the advert proliferation over the past couple of years is ridiculous. I used to be able to skip most after 5 seconds, and gradually they have been phased out and 40 second non skippable drivel is becoming the norm and then 60 seconds into whatever I'm watching the next non skippable advert starts.

I don't know if it is the same for everyone, but i have a Skip option on most ads on YT ... except those foe online gambling companies, which require you to see the whole 30 or 60 second ad. It is insidious!

There is a rule by the ASA that you can't advertise alcohol by showing people enjoying themselves. It should be the same for online gambling!

For years I was under the impression you couldn't have alcohol advertising at the ground then we whacked a load of Dhillons ads around the pitch

Watching the procession for Ozzy on tv yesterday and all you could see with the crowd was a show of hands holding up their phones. Bet no one actually saw it happen In real time.

Mmm, and the whole thing about looking back on memories “here look there’s the coffin carrying a dead guy I’ve never met before going past and his grieving family”

not like looking back over holiday or wedding snaps is it.

i’m really conscious of trying to live in the moment for stuff like this. Don’t get me wrong sometimes you need to capture certain things and I’m guilty of that.

Spice Jars. I only want a small amount for a specific recipe. Probably won't use the rest before it expires.
Periodically clear out the cupboard and throw lots away.
Why are the jars so big?
Also Tortilla Wraps. I only want 2 but have to buy a pack of 6.

Also what the fuck is a pack of six about? Clearly designed to have to buy twelve for a family of four.

I'll add salad/lettuce to that. I live by myself and on the odd occasion I make burgers or something I have to buy a full sized bag and inevitably throw most of it away. Have just stopped bothering now.
