Channel S4C. Want to watch the Wales vs. Poland game and there is no option for English commentary. Turned it off as can’t stand the commentary when it’s in any language I don’t understand.
It’s on iplayer with 5 live commentators. Deranged Rover said:

I've noticed that about half of the car ads on Ebay are now written using AI bots. eg.
"This Saab 9-5 Estate Turbo Edition is a fantastic car with a lot of history. With five seats and five doors, this car is perfect for families or those who need a lot of space. The exterior colour is silver, and the interior is black, making it a sleek and stylish option for anyone. The car has had three previous owners and has a mileage of 150,000. Its engine size is 1.9 and runs on diesel fuel. It is a manual transmission, and its drive side is right-hand drive. It was first registered in 2009, and the V5C registration document is available."
and another just seen now :
"This Ford Kuga Zetec Tdci 2wd is an estate car with a silver exterior colour. It has 5 seats. The car has a manual transmission and a diesel engine with a size of 1997 cc. The car was first registered on January 4th, 2011 and comes with a V5C registration document. The vehicle is being sold for spares or repairs and is in need of some work to bring it back to its former condition. With its right-hand drive, this modern car is ideal for those looking for a project or for someone who needs parts for their own Ford Kuga. "
Whilst I agree this is annoying, it’s still something of an improvement on the two incoherent sentences apparently written by an illiterate moron that you’d probably get without the AI assistance."This Saab 9-5 Estate Turbo Edition is a fantastic car with a lot of history.

They read like ads for classic cars. Almost nothing about the actual car for sale but a long winded history of the type of car.
"This Jones-Belker Cottage Special was ordered from Millar & Dandy Motorcarriages of Railway Cuttings, East Cheam by retired Indian Army Major Wilberforce Saint-James Smythe in January 1954; he ordered duotone crimson and old english white paint plus the optional winceyette seat covers, chrome-plated match dispensers, leather seat belt retainers and the patent automatic pipe holder and ash tray...

Well if he gave pleasure to millions by the simple
task of being pithy while being filmed when
watching telly, we can only salute
him by calling his death Noteworthy,
it's the least

Every post is like a half-arsed Haiku; is it deliberate or a function of the platform being used to post replies?

I just don't visit stores that pull that kind of dual pricing crap. I've noticed that the Coop and M&S quietly aborted their dual pricing schemes.

that. Fair
enough.

Writing like that is usually the preserve of old duffers using phones or tablets to write messages, with no clue that auto-wrap is a thing so they add a manual line break when they reach the end of the screen Well if he gave pleasure to millions by the simple

. Used to be very common when phones with internet first became a thing - a narrow wall of text stretching miles down the page when they'd only written half a dozen sentences. It was pretty clear they'd written it on their new Nokia 6300 or similar .
Must have been on here before but the security belts at airports really does bring out some absolute lemons.
Why do people stand there holding everyone up as they proceed to unload their trays and layer themselves back up while everyone else's tray gets stacked up behind ?
Just pick your sodding tray up and take it to one of the many purpose built shelves ffs.
