SPAM random annoying things

Steam. The only way I seem to be able to stop it downloading updates that I don't currently want is to schedule downloads for only 1 minute between midnight and a minute past. No amount of clicking the don't update anything boxes seems to work.

Does on mine, go to the game properties and untick "Keep this game up to date" bit. The actual download section is flaky as fuck though.

This guy hand-palmed his horn at me this morning while I overtook him (assume because I was speeding). 'Listen up, guy in tank (10 year old volvo) if my car is a fucktonne faster and you are in the slow lane... you are getting overtaken. Even if you do the classic dickhead maneuver: Drive at 50 in a 70 while holding me up and then floor it to 80 when you decide to move your slow thinking arse into the left lane'.

Huh, seems OK on TripAdvisor, ratio of good to bad reviews seems fairly normal. Interesting because looking at the pictures its the kind of small hotel I'd normally choose...

That's what I thought too. I did all the right research and even my photos 'look' ok.

To be woken by early call from Visa Fraud, after only 48hrs in the country, to say someone has used our card to make over £3000 of internet purchases in that time. Great. We haven't even used it for 3 weeks.

Off-season I guess?

Yes off season but summer. All the tour operators say it has 8hrs sunshine a day. Ha! We had 2 days without rain and only a few without strong wind. Not one said it was cyclone season.

I hope that when I buy a new computer, I get the same call.

Yup, do this, my computer clearly doesn't respect me though as it still downloads despite the box being unticked. Stupid pooter.

The new YouTube layout, the old one was fine why fuck around with it.

These are the worst kind of people in the traffic, strutting about with their shitty car in the speed-lane, also sideways with another car so you cannot get through. Pisses you off to no end, and so many people do this.

People that pull up to the roundabout stop then look to see if the coast is clear to move on. Rather than looking ahead as they approach so they can see and don't have to stop if they don't need to.

So annoying.

To be honest better that than them fucking it up and causing an accident. Just because you can pull that off doesn't mean the millions of morons with a licence can.

 

[caLLous]

Especially if they're not from round those parts and therefore not familiar with that roundabout. There's a T-junction here that *everybody* knows you can approach without stopping and then look and have plenty of time to stop if something is coming but people who don't live here don't know that so they stop regardless. It's sometimes annoying but always sensible.

Isn't that like what you're meant to do? I mean, don't they purposely block your sight so you stop?

 

[Moriath]

no your supposed to be looking ahead and working out whats a threat and whats good so you can continue smoothly on your way

Its not like america where you have stop signs and you have to stop... there are many roundabouts where you can see the whole ting in advance and see where people on it are going..

You are supposed to drive looking ahead .. not like 10 meters infront of you where theres nothing you can do

so you see whats happening and take the appropriate measures .. not oh theres a roundabout its getting closer and closer oh theres a line stop at the line look .. look again .. hmmm ok i got now there hasnt been a car for at least a minute.

rather than look at the things going round the circle and see where they are indicating to go and judge your speed and position to merge in with the traffic .. like gits who dont accelerate onto motorways .. they go along at about 40 and thing shit i cant get in there and screw everyone up.

Driving isnt about 10 in front its about the future and a smooth ride..

if your a mong and cant do that get off the road

this is tings that annoy you thread not things that will happen in reality thread

MS "onedrive" or whatever it is called now. I have my dropbox in the "onedrive" that Win8 likes to ram down your gullet, and office 13 likes to default to it. So...press save in a word doc, and watch MS faff about. Then it claims to have saved. Then it turns out to NOT have saved. Magically it then suddenly fails to talk to onedrive for reasons unknown, and there is no file in the location I specified. So, then I choose to save to the local filesystem (which ofc is synced through Dropbox, *and* lives in the onedrive gizmo too. Insta save, file appears where it should, etc etc. Skyonedrive = poo.

Who taught you to drive? You have to stop at stop signs in the UK

He's right and wrong. As you point out there are stop signs in the UK and yes you have to stop (the other signal is a solid line across the road at the junction), however, most roundabouts don't have a stop sign and have a dashed line at the junction which means "give way to the right", but it doesn't mean you have to stop. If you can see nothing's coming from the right you can drive straight onto the roundabout. However, since I have no idea in this case about visibility on the roundabout or the person's familiarity with that piece of road, its a bit presumptuous to simply mark them down as clueless.

 

[Raven]

So yeah, he is wrong then. You have to stop at stop signs.

 

[Moriath]

But you don't get stop signs as much as you do in the states in my opinion.
