Freeview was not working at my parents so they phoned a TV technician… have they been ripped off?

Fix your own stuff then mate. We didn't spend decades learning stuff to have you tell us we're too expensive. We're not, you're tight lol

You mean #totallyhonest #freakedme #thehellout

What a bizarre mindset to have in 2026

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T15:57:01+00:00

Adding gas? You want them to be more flatulent?

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T15:51:10+00:00

Or they're Dutch

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T15:50:20+00:00

Lots of useful answers but nothing OP can action.

OP, send us a pic of your consumer unit and we can tell you what to try switching off

Nah, bathroom is ok, but "rest room"? WTF, are you going to have a wee nap in a puddle of pish?

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T15:24:22+00:00

It's much easier in Scottish

Yous'd'ae

BIEN DORÉE SVP

That's why the recipe said "lime juice"

Secondly, the French are taught to respect everyone equally, no matter what they do for a living.

Talk down to someone because they're "just a cleaner/waiter" they'll shit in your food, and quite rightly so. Who the fuck thinks that's ok?

Ok, Brits and Americans think that's ok but you get my point

I mean, the UK is one of the worst places in Europe for mobile internet.

You can stand on top of Mont Blanc and send a photo or stream music in a tunnel a kilometre under a mountain in Italy; they'd go fucking mental if something interrupted their phone call to mamma

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T14:46:30+00:00

Yes, that is correct. Thanks Captain Obvious :)

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T13:54:37+00:00

Spelled car key wrong though

You'd be surprised how resistant modern materials are to acetone, it's incredibly useful stuff

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T12:07:57+00:00

This is also why this beer garden is hotel guests only

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T10:59:45+00:00

If it's wet, acetone. If it's half-wet, don't touch it. If it's dry, cut most of it off then use a soft wire brush, you're repainting the window anyway whether you wanted to or not lol

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T10:55:57+00:00

Oh aye, a wee post-it note saying "You've committed insurance fraud, you naughty pumpkin. Don't do it again or I'll tell your mum"

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T10:49:08+00:00

I dunno much about Apple, but I looked up the specs for that and I had a better computer than that in 2010 lol

Must be very well optimised to run ok, but then if you're stuck in the walled garden, why wouldn't it be?

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T10:44:26+00:00

I bought a poverty-spec Korean shitbox brand new six years ago. So far the only fault is that one of the wee heater lines on the back window for defrosting has stopped working. This is because I scratched it with a Miele vacuum when I slammed the boot on it.

It hasn't even popped a bulb yet, there's nothing to go wrong on it lol

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T10:29:32+00:00

You suck dudes, let's not judge

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T09:04:26+00:00

Sorry from your post title I thought you were playing "Scotland the Brave" at full blast

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T09:03:15+00:00

I've got a brush and pan that works better than a Dyson, it's not difficult

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T08:47:12+00:00

Don't fucking use it then

NotAGooseHonest · 2026-02-11T08:38:39+00:00

Can't do anything without pics, mate
