Another Americanism, but film trailers where they announce 'in cinemas July twenty one' instead of 'July twenty first' like a normal person would say.
Or even "July the twenty-first" like a real normal person.Bugs the tits off me too.
Isn't that film trailer a bit previous?July '21 is four years hence.....
Windows 10 updates.
My computer has spent the best part of 2 weeks running updates, only to fail at applying them and then taking forever to 'unapply' them.
Where it has (on rare occasion) offered error codes, I've tried searching for fixes, only to find that most are fake forum discussions covering for software companies trying to flog their regedit products.
I've tried skipping versions; yesterday I tried, based on a recommendation, to install the Windows Creator update: 10 hours it took, to download and apply it... and then failure.
It's now got to the stage where there isn't even a 'f
k off, I don't want your update' button. Even if I think I've stepped out of the install loop, as I go to shut the computer down, the choices are 'update and close down' or 'update and restart'. No simple 'close'.
I thought that Microsoft had realised that they needed to stop beingy? It seems that they've just been saving all their ishness up to dump on this summer.

Toilet brushes.
"Polite reminders" in office toilets.
"Polite Reminders" that go on about toilet brushes.
You're literally asking me to hold st on a stick. Just give me a bottle of bleach.
A previous office had one of those polite reminder notices that asked people to "please leave this toilet in a state you'd like to find it". Someone had attached a post-it with "Florida would be nice" scrawled on it."Polite reminders" in office toilets.

YouTube being practically unusable on BT Infinity but absolutely fine on O2 4G.
Don't get that here... YouTube is absolutely fine on Infinity. However, any attempt to use Skype is guaranteed to down the connection in seconds (or less), requiring a reboot of the Infinity modem.lucido grigio said:
Photobucket.
Every thread I posted a pic in from day 1 to 2014 has that message from them instead of my pic showing.
My road trip thread from 2013 is ruined.

So many empty seat at the Wimbledon men's doubles final. Yet people seem to have to queue hours for tickets?
Some seats will be Corporate Hospitality and the owner of the seat not interested in tennis, only in schmoozing / drinking / socialising. Voldemort said:
I'll bet not a single one was unsold though. Lots of tennis fans people bugger off after the first final.
Indeed.
