SPAM random annoying things

That's just Twilight aids

1. Major miss use of the English language; atrocity.

2. No one would have noticed if said lion had been trying to rip his throat out.

I understand hunting for food. Or hunting to live so you take the meat and the fur ect and do something with it. I can't stand these Dentist ect who go out there and standing protected by guides pay to kill these Animals that are sometimes drugged so it is not it just like fish in a barrel. And some of them are so shit they do not even kill the animal cleanly. If you want to kill a Lion get in an arena with it with one bullet. if you can't kill it then it gets its chance to kill you. Murdering a drugged animal for your own shits and giggles makes you scum. I feel the same about fox hunting too.

Ages ago got a box set of Twilight. Probably from Amazon. Only opened it yesterday. Crap weather and nothing to do. 3 out of 5 discs won't work. Basically play the trailers at the front and then revert to 'load' and the blue screen. So annoying. Before you ask it's not a US player and all the writing on the discs seem right. Any ideas?

We've happily watched Sopranos series 5 and we are catching up on ashes to Ashes. all DVDs. No bother.

Worrying cos have one or two box sets I just bought to keep. now wondering if any of them actually work.

I'm assuming this is on a standard dvd player attached to the TV? Do they play on a pc?

Anyway - random annoying thing: My bike's seat post is stuck in my frame. Hard.

Been hitting it with WD40 for ages, trying to wiggle it, etc. etc. After 24 hours I've got a little lateral movement but am not really any closer to getting it out

please, please, please get it out of there. before you put it back, grease it liberally with a neutral grease. it's likely sticking because of galvanic corrosion. your frame is steel, no? what's your seat post made of?

I got it out. Had a mate come round and we took the seat off and replaced it with a 2m long metal bar - that gave us enough levarage. Still took a while tho. Everything cleaned properly, no damage.

It won't be happening again. I've not been bothering dropping my seats on descents but I'll be doing it much more now so it'll not get a chance to get stuck. I've greased it but wiped nearly all the grease away (my seatpost simply won't stay up greased).

It looks like it wasn't corroded - it's just a couple of years worth of crud that'd managed to work its way in over successive washes (like the small shitty dust particles that work their way in when it's wet). I'm normally pretty good at keeping the bike clean but I never bothered with the seatpost. Will from now on

Grease your post dude. She will thank you for it

Guardian website putting up an overlay saying "we notice you're using adblocker. Have you thought about joining some blah blah Graun club to contribute to the site blah blah?" I'm only using adblocker because the Guardian kept presenting me with the same audio on ad over and over and over. Dickheads.

Using Adblocker plus m8 m8 m8 m8 m8 m8 m8 m8?

Only an idiot would browse the web without some sort of adblock and popup blocking software.

I will opt in thank you very much. (well, I won't but I want the choice)

My job means seeing ads is actually pretty important, so at work I don't use Ad Blocker and I prefer not to use it because sites need revenue, but the Guardian sent me over the edge and I put Ad block plus on my main PC at home. Ironically, I'd actually switched it off the other day and then went onto the BBC Sport site and a stupid ass Sky Sports banner manages to fuck the whole site up (they've left a tag open so the site can't scroll if that ad is showing) so I had to switch it back on again. Next site I went to was the Guardian and there was that stupid overlay.

To be honest, if sites are going to run ads, they should have a report/feedback function against every ad. I see bad code on ads that screw sites up all the time.

 

[Raven]

I never really got that bothered about small unobtrusive ads for things that I was actually interested in and you are right, those stupid banner ads should be nuked from orbit and so should their creators. Nothing is more likely to make me not buy a product than having to click through an annoying advert for it to get at the content I was looking for.

It's when websites have a pop up advert with a cross to exit it being super tiny.

I usually leave the website straight away

Serves you right for going on The Guardian website tbh.

Moths.

For the love of fuck, what purpose do you serve?!

 

[Scouse]

Food for bats.

Other than that, I quite like 'em

Hate them stopping me having my unfettered windows open at nighht.

Same as Bees and butterflys.
Took a photo of a wonderful Tiger Moth in the garden the other day.

Is it not a little sad that to use the Internet to its full potential you have to have antimalware/virus firewalls and ad blockers running all the time

I feel the same about phones, you pay all the top dosh to have the latest cool looking phone and the first thing you do is wrap it in cotton wool so it doesn't get scratched or damaged

Or don't wrap it up in cotton wool and drop it like the S6 Edge I've owned for about 8 weeks Stupid fucking hand!!!!

Worst thing about my Samsung is the fucking bloatware running nonstop and taking up storage space

Checked-in Luggage.

We're going to Spain for a week. When I booked the flight my sister was sat over my shoulder saying "aren't you going to book some hold luggage?"

"No" says I. "It's a week in Spain. How much shit do you think I need to bring? If I was going to India for 3 months I could justify my rucksack but not Spain for a week."

"But Tam'll want lots of nice dresses won't you Tam? Stuff n stuff?"

To my surprise the g/f started whining about 'maybe it'd be nice' and shit like that and sided with my sister.

"You know how shit airports are. We'll have to get there earlier. Queue. Stand with the cattle. Wait the other side. Yadda yadda yadda."

They did the girl thing and stuck together. I could (should) have throttled her.

So here we are on the plane. Hot, stressed, flustered, sweaty and annoyed. Tam's like "don't blame me". "And stop writing about me on the internet!" And "we could have got away without the hold luggage couldn't we?"...


FFFFFFUUUU.....

 

[caLLous]

That is so Tam.

 

[DaGaffer]

I fucking hate airports in the summer time. Bloody tourists. Who doesn't know you can't take water through security in 2015? Bloody tourists that's who.

 

[CorNokZ]

That is so Tam.

Just my thoughts. Classic Tam

 

[Edmond]

That is so Tam.

Yep, that sounds just like her. She's always like this.....pfft

 

[Edmond]

"And stop writing about me on the internet!"

Brilliant!! Ha Ha!!

 

[Bodhi]

I always put bags in the hold if the ticket has it included, even if we're only away for the night. Saves having to get half your stuff out going through security and it only adds 5 minutes either side.

Also Avoids getting your laptop out for a meeting and dragging your dirty kecks out with it. Never the best look...

I also hate airports in the summer time.

People look at my GFs tits all the time cos she's a super model when she gets out of my Bugatti Veyron, I have to be in the presence of so many peasants as I make my way to my private jet.

Sucks dick!
