purpleronnie Posted 25 July 2014 Share Posted 25 July 2014 Really? I was wondering if a military or security man like you, a soldier even, could you give a man a lethal blow, even if he was coming, really hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 25 July 2014 Share Posted 25 July 2014 The WH Smiths and BBC iPlayer ones have pissed me off for a while. Glad others had noticed these too. I can explain the iPlayer jingle, and adverts being louder than the program. As part of broadcasting standards there is a limit on how loud things can be broadcast at, so if you want to have something appear loud for dramatic effect, the rest of the program has to be quieter, whereas adverts and jingles don't have any fluctuations in sound so the whole thing is often at maximum volume. You know the admans mantra, the louder and more annoying it is the more likely they will remember it. Another thing we have to suffer in 2014: Joey Barton's tweets being news worthy, what a depressing state of affairs when Joey "I'll stab you in the eye with a cigar" Barton's ill-informed opinion has a wider audience than, well anyone who isn't a violent narcissistic thug.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 25 July 2014 Share Posted 25 July 2014 Although that one wasn't too bad, on the whole I would say these endless bloody lists people post on Facebook - particularly the ones with manipulative sub-titles that marketing twats have clearly proven to work (e.g. 'Number 5 was REALLY embarrassing').

Col city fan Posted 26 July 2014 Share Posted 26 July 2014 Computers at work.... Great when they work ( we do nearly everything electronically now), a nightmare when they don't. The problem with putting almost everything into a computer system is if it crashes, or just stops functioning, it can take an awful lot of time to sort it. Time which could be used more productively doing summat else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be working fine for majority of the day then all of a sudden it decides it doesn't like you and just freezes. Session has to be disconnected and you're screwed if your work was not saved.
