Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

IVR systems, honestly what fuckwit designs these. Me, right now: <Ring Ring for about 20 seconds> "Thank you for holding. We are particularly busy at the moment but we expect your call to be answered shortly" <Ring Ring for about 20 seconds> "Thank you for holding. We are particularly busy at the mo...

Re: Currently Playing

Tried Lost Ark and hated it. A game that tries to be a Diablo-style game with MMO leanings, but all that really means is it spawns loads of overlapping identikit enemies that you then spam to death with a dull rotation. The acting is fucking atrocious and the grind not even vaguely masked. Uninstall...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Found out this morning that one of my closest childhood friends has died. We hadn't seen each other for nearly 20 years after I moved away from Yorkshire but we got in contact again last year, and now it's hard to accept that we won't be able to meet up and have a beer like we said we would. Like t...

Hmm good shout Todd, I remember enjoying the film but not seen it in decades. Doesn't Timothy Spall star alongside Cruise too?

Re: Currently Listening

New Amorphis album Halo drops today, giving it a first listen now and so far it is not disappointing.

Re: The F1 thread

Looks nice. I just hope that the redesign achieves the goal of reducing turbulence and enabling slipstreaming. I would dearly love to see the end of artificial nonsense like DRS to say nothing of having cars able to close in on their rivals rather than having to back off due to the lack of downforce...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Damn MM you have some real talent there.

I am the son of a graphic artist and a professional musician, and have zero artistic ability, something I have always regretted.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Just finished Season 5 of The Expanse, and goodness the finale delivered a series of gut-punches. I was in bits watching the death of a major character, then looking up afterwards and finding out why he was written out made me feel very let down. The showrunners did a good job given the circumstanc...

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

Mmmm not sure on that one. Sure the journalist is attempting to secure proof, but as the guy says they declassify information in such a way as to protect sources which I can totally believe. I can also completely believe that false-flag attacks are just the kind of thing Putin would use as a pretext...

That is really horrifying Alan. I have had some dogs have a go at Misty before, and she is a leggy border collie so not a small breed. There is absolutely no excuse, if your dog ignores commands and recall then it should be on a leash, no ifs, no buts.

Re: Currently Reading

I'm going to make a confession. I haven't read a book in about ten years, maybe more. So this year I've decided to get back into it with Dave Grohl - The Storyteller. A loose collection of anecdotes from over the years. About a quarter through so far and I have to say, really enjoying it. I love re...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

loathing of gypsies is a stance taken by a disturbing proportion of the British public. I do struggle with this, and what I am about to write could cause offense, but it is absolutely not meant to. I don't know if there is a distinction between gypsies and pikeys (indeed the term could be the Roma ...
