SPAM random annoying things

It's 65%. There's no escaping it, everything will be mobile-oriented from here on in. I always thought that was the point of user agents telling websites what you're browsing on but I guess a single unified experience is easier all round.

 

[Moriath]

Not only is the new interface crap (including on my tablet), they have a mobile and tablet app for BBC News... so they don't even NEED the website to be tablet and phone friendly...
It really is awful though, and not just because it's changed, there's so much white space now, and no real distinction between the different areas of the page...

And @Raven your comment is still Glenn. Lolololol

 

[Moriath]

Yes they do. Especially if you're the public service BBC. Remit is maximum reach, and not everyone has access to, or wants, apps (weirdos with Blackberries for example). Even Android apps don't always work on all devices.

Good responsive design is fucking hard to pull off. Personally I think one of the only sites that's done a really good job is the Guardian, and they've basically spent years in a public beta honing the design. This BBC effort isn't as good, but it actually doesn't need that many tweaks; differentiating the headers with a bolder font or caps would solve most of the problems, but it is certainly a problem for lots of sites that designing responsive the "correct" way (mobile first) often sort of goes to pieces on a full desktop. But, if its anything like us, the BBC site is probably more than 50% mobile traffic by now, so that's just the way its going to be.

The previous design worked great in Safari. I also have the app. But why change as design that worked great on tablets and desktop to this shite. Phones don't count their interface is too small.

But in a reasonable tablet, most of the webs for desktop are fine

Big Nope. Pasts yes. Seafood feck off you Neptune loving mother fucker. Lol

I don't like seafood incase you didn't realise. And maybe @Scouse thinks I am jealous.

As well as maximum reach, productivity is usually one of the main advantages; once you've gone through the pain of doing the responsive design (which is a real pain, its a huge change for most organisations), you should have a platform that lets you publish once and the site does all the re-rendering work. No bespoke graphics or imagery for each device type etc. Also, if they've done it right, it probably publishes the app content as well (the app just has to be an HTLM5/CSS3 wrapper), whereas you often find companies' first apps were on completely separate platforms to their main websites, with all the overhead that entails.

Responsive design: just so long as you dont want it to respond to anything wider than 4:3.

If you want to see really terrible responsive, go and look at LinkedIn; looks like a bunch of random panels thrown at a grey background. I get what they were trying to do, but its ugly as fuck

18 months on and I am still debating whether to kill my mother. She's at it again. Misunderstanding everything and making everything all about her! I feel guilty and embarrassed about the way I feel about her. It's difficult to moan to friends about your own mother. Especially as over Mothers Day everything was full of how wonderful everyone thinks their mothers are. She's now managed to slag me off to my daughter and pull the 'after all I did for her' crap! Not a lot I hasten to add. Sorry, ignore this if you want.

 

[Raven]

My mum is a bit of a twat sometimes too, I think they all are one way or another.

I probably wouldn't speak to her if she wasn't my mum.

 

[Moriath]

Don't have any problems with my mum tbh.

 

[DaGaffer]

I love my Mum, but that's probably because I'm incredibly good at ignoring her when she tries to be a control freak. Problem is my Dad was really good at not letting her pull that shit without her even realising it, but since he died and she remarried, her new husband, who is a really nice man, lets her follow her instincts to micromanage everyone to death. I think he likes being told what to do.

 

[Raven]

Don't get me wrong, I love my mum but she is a bit of a dick at times.

 

[Scouse]

Don't.

Mines a cunt. Nothing I can do about it. @Moriath thinks I shouldn't say things like that but I think that's because he can't understand that other people's mothers can be nasty pieces of work...

 

[old.Tohtori]

I get the feelings, i don't have any issues with my mother, but if we go into father territory then the tone changes.

 

[Moriath]

I didn't say you can't say stuff like that. It's up to you.

Lost my mum 23yrs ago and she was great, my dad on the other hand............

 

[Moriath]

Lost my dad 14 years ago. And he was great too.

 

[Scouse]

Mine popped it when I was 4. People say he was ace, but who the fuck knows really?

 

[Raven]

Mine fucked off when I was 3, I know he was a prize ballbag. Also met him since and he confirmed that assumption.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Mine, to name a few, hit my head against a cabinet for being 5 minutes late and hit me because when i was sick my coughing woke him up during the night.

Showed him though, haven't even so much as pushed a person once in my life

My Mum has Alzheimers. Sometimes she'll sing along to music and it takes me right back to when I was a little boy and she used to sing to me. It fills me with a combination of profound love and incredibly moving sadness. At other times she's so difficult you want to bang your head against a brick wall. Occasionally there are moments of humour. Mostly though its just very sad.

The Netherlands are bigger coffee drinkers than the Finns.

Where's Italy?

The more I look at the list the more I realise its crap. I also realise I could have done something better with my time.

Like building a bacon sandwich bigger than my head.

1.3 cups per day? Bah, some foreigners and teaswedes bringing our numbers down. I've had 4 cups(well, mugs to be exact) before noon already

 

[fettoken]

When working, averaging about 4 - 5 mugs a day but switched to tea all of the sudden. Feels better since i have been having stomach aches.

How many shits a day do you unload?

My father has been dead for years. My mother has a 'partner'. I just pray that my children don't ever feel about me like this.

If I'd been a bloke we wouldn't be having this conversation. She's bloody awful to my daughters but my son can do no wrong.
