Chulla 4,946 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I hope BHS doesn't go bust - I buy trousers from them. What will happen in the future; will I have to turn up to the meetings in my boxer shorts? Edit: I have no qualms about doing that, but no photos, please! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EileenH 496 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I hate it when important plot points in TV dramas are conveyed by showing text messages or incoming calls etc on the character`s mobile phone. You`d need a really huge screen to be able to read them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 The increasing habit of supermarkets to describe certain fruit as "fun-size". So you can buy fun-size apples or fun-size pears; it's another way of saying "small". 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Is it a bit infra dig for cyclists to use designated cycle tracks? Take Middleton Boulevard it's got a cycle path down both sides of the road, trouble is you the cyclist have to stop or slow down to cross every side road where as if you are on the road the cars have to stop for you, which is much safer for the cyclist. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I agree that cycle paths like this are sometimes risky to use but the one at the hump back bridge our bus was crossing was a separate fenced off bridge where bikes could nip across avoiding the traffic lights controlling the single carriageway narrow road. Didn`t make sense to me. Oh well - - - Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,083 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would like to know why Tesco's, Sainsbury's Morrison's and many more think we have everlasting purse strings. They keep opening up more shop's. In Morrison's one day a young girl from Sweden ask where the bread was, I took her down to the said isle she let out a gasp!!!!!! I have never seen so much bread (she said) this got me thinking do we really need all the bread that the shops sell.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Subtitles that are in small print and that do not show up well against the background picture. Hinterland and Marcella have poor clarity of subtitles compared to the ones in programmes like The Bridge and Trapped. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Subtitles full stop...Much of my telly input is in the background while I'm doing something else....makes the programme a waste of time unless I'm glued to the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I had to drive into town this morning, then to Toton, so I decided on Castle Blvd rather than the A52. Heavens above, just what is this barmy council doing. One of the busiest roads into and out of the city, and they are reducing the width on the south side to incorporate a cycle lane FFS. Why couldn't they use part of the pavement. This bunch won't rest until the city is gridlocked. They always quote Traffic Control, rather than Traffic Flow. Don't they realise that the internal combustion engine is here to stay and nothing they do will alter this. At least I was quicker to Toton than the tram. Cyclists...... F em! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,160 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Football fan idiots and others,who are behind a reporter in a street interview even in their 60s with their stupid gestures,clothes,and inane mouths.....trying not to watch any more news today,because the Leicester supporters of all ages are experts at it......................thats better,ahhh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It seems to be the over 60's who are the worst. Bloated, uncouth, shaven headed, heavily tattooed ex skinhead bovver boys. I can understand their enthusiasm, but it wears a bit thin at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,510 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 # 573. At the risk of sounding terribly snobby (and I'm not) most local TV interviews, whether on the street or in someone's home, make me cringe very often. My husband is always saying "Why don't you say something NICE about someone?" but I just feel embarrassed that these folk walk amongst us. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Tossers ! However, can you imagine the orgasmic eulogising the Beeb would have been doing had Spurs won? The press and the Beeb in particular think that there's no other club in the land other than Spurs. I DETEST them wholeheartedly. Arsenal and Chelsea, I quite admire.
