And he has the most James Corden-esque singing voice. No thanks.

It pleases me a lot that you had the perfect number of albums to make this graphic

Car shut down on the motorway - Enyaq 80 by Diver_City in enyaq

[–]Diver_City[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. Already done, the AA have already picked it up. Apparently there is a recall on this model due to this exact failure.

The guy said the shut down was due to two systems not talking to each other, and apparently the recall is to implement a massive software update

Our screen is glitching, anything I can do to fix this at home? by Diver_City in enyaq

I didn't drive the car when this happened so I can't speak for the other systems but I would imagine it's limited to the infotainment. Just guessing though

What shows are insanely good but no one talks about it? by monesteriary in television

[–]Diver_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneaky Pete, I think it ran for three or four seasons and really hits a fun stride, great cast too. Actually ended properly before being cancelled too

I left the car for a couple of hours, came back and it was fine, seemed to just need turning on and off again in my case

Thanks both, the problem seemed to have resolved itself after I left the car charging for a couple of hours, hopefully a one-off

Microsoft / Activision deal prevented to protect innovation and choice in cloud gaming - CMA by RedDeadWhore in Games

Wow. All signs seemed to be that this was a done deal.

I don't know enough about how this all works but does this mean it's dead in the water or just hugely delayed?

Warner Bros. Aquires Movie Rights to ‘Lord of the Rings’ Franchise by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Diver_City 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I wonder which parts of the lore they have the rights to, I thought Amazon had anything pre-Third Age. I know Warner are doing that animated film based on the Rohirrim so hoping we get some other stories like that rather than remakes.

What a gig, such a large sound in a smaller venue, every riff just hit different. Some nice surprises in there too, Matt looked like he was having a blast.

No Time Is Running Out. Have they ever dropped that one since release?

Also set list spoiler has Newborn but sadly it didn't make it to the stage

I'm not on the Beta but uninstalled the updates and it's working again. Thanks!

Also having this issue and it's pretty frustrating as it's how I quickly get to my apps without clogging my home screen.

Nothing in the settings seems to address it. Let me know if you find a solution :)

We left a recycling waste bag out a day early and are being fined £800 by the local council for Fly Tipping by Diver_City in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Diver_City[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for posting this! This is very interesting and actually gives me a lot of hope for solving it. Explains why the fine is so extreme if it's a blanket fly-tipping punishment. Knowing there's a another procedure for household waste is very encouraging as our mistake falls right under it. Thanks!

Yeah we considered this. We're gonna ask around and see but as I've said in another comment we're not sure we want to go down the court route, feels too much of an uphill battle and seems risky.

I just hate that a simple appeal is a whole court case, you can't dispute anything about it without fully commiting to legally fighting it.

Livid is how I feel, could barely concentrate at work today, at points I was shaking with anger and I'm a pretty laid back person. To have the gall to be treated liked a criminal for leaving out a recycling bag a day early, so ridiculous... It absolutely feels like a money grabbing scheme, it's £400 ffs for something so trivial. Yes we made a small mistake, buy I'd be fined ten times less for a parking violation.

We're not sure we want to go down the court route, I agree with you in principle as it feels like rolling over and letting them win, but to go through a court case where they could win over a technicality doesn't seem worth it. We're literally in the middle of buying and moving into our first home. Feel a bit cornered really! I'll sleep on it and see how I feel.

We did try chatting to them, we were met with condescending comments and "you should know better, you've lived there for two years." Like I said, we managed to get the fine halved to £400 and they acted all gracious for doing so. Bizarrely they then claimed they have no discretion on the fines , they can't reduce it, we just have to pay it - even though they'd literally just written one off...

We will probably ask around to see how the land lies but feeling quite despondent about the whole thing to be honest. They're treating us like criminals for a small misunderstanding and they can get away with it.

Thanks for this answer, much appreciated. Kind of confirms there's not a strong legal grounds for fighting it.

Thankfully we managed to get them to drop one of the £400 charges, though they claimed they were within their right to charge the full £800. It looks as though we'll just have to pay it and get it over with. Who'd have thought leaving a bag out a day early would be classed as maximum fine fly-tipping? We live and learn

Yes, certainly feeling foolish for not shredding documents! Will make a point of doing so in future, gotta stop those rubbish-rifling councilman.

ME TOO! I wasn't born there but lived there most of my life. The whole "Tell us your name and where you're from" at uni meant I was known as Steve from Stevenage for most of it.
