in the Men's 100 metres sprint, more people didn't come 1st than the guy who came 1st, so therefore the guy who came 1st shouldn't have won.

Love it, I'm stealing that

The fact that the last time I had a parcel delivered by a certain company the e-mail giving me its ETA arrived 3 hours after the parcel means that I don't know to expect another delivery today or tomorrow

As we're on a Colchester theme, the football team annoys me beyond reason, haven't won a match in ages,

meaning I haven't travelled to a home match in ages either.

And TBH ,I can't be bothered to go to an away match close to home either.

Sky Q box adverts, who the heck needs to record four channels at one time?

[kowalski655]

Sky do seem to have a habit of putting good stuff on at the same time
But I don't think that you can't record something when its invariably repeated,at 2am or whenever

[Drummond Baize]

Oh gosh, I do hope that in this advert for Greek style yoghurt that Nicole Scherzinger doesn't end up getting any on her nose like last time.

Oh, she has. Clumsy cow.

Yes. It's become a "thing" definitely now.

My wife for one!

We've got Virgin instead of Sky, and our 'box' has three tuners. Which means it can record up to three channels simultaneously. Which is great...


...unless of course all three tuners are recording the guff that she so loves to watch on 'series link'. Whereupon you cannot change the channel to watch something else completely. Worse still, I've not yet worked out how to switch between the three channels being recorded to find the "least worst option".

Grrrrrrr!


Telly off, and breeeeeeeeeathe!

There is a real obsession these days with 'binge watching' umpteen episodes of the latest series of whatever.
I don't know where people find the time

7 million quid on this crap. Sorry it may be just me but I would rather that money was used for discounting the costs of the goods.

Renault Cup holders...
Do you know how hard it is to remove a freshly opened, 473ml, can of RedBull from a footwell whilst driving?

Damn you Renault and your shallow cup holders.

How much discount would you get if they shared out that £7 million across every product, every customer?

Begs the question...

"Why are you drinking Red Bull (or anything really) whilst driving?"


- or possibly -


"Why would anyone with his/her taste buds still intact be drinking Red Bull at all?"
