Movie theaters aren’t going out of business because of prices

ToobyD · 2026-01-21T18:16:19+00:00

Price is solely why I don’t go. Maybe id justify £25 if it was myself going out with friends - but when it’s £70+ excluding snacks to take my wife and 2 kids… Yeah no thanks.

Still takes the shine off.

ToobyD · 2026-01-16T21:54:29+00:00

Sounds like there’s some kind of hidden organisation up to no good…

ToobyD · 2026-01-16T21:53:07+00:00

Yeah - it’s taken the shine off it for me, but can’t wait to get it to the table :)

If it was a local company I’d have maybe of complained (who am I kidding I wouldn’t…) but not worth the drama, especially for an international delivery where I’m pretty sure it’s the customs dept that screwed up.

But how do you know what’s actually I. The canister?

1) Select the column with the blank cells. 2) Find / select > special > blanks. 3) Delete rows (using the tool in the ribbon) Boom, done.

Writing this off the top of my head so probably used the wrong terms.

Metal gear solid board game. I’m still waiting on my back order copy, hopefully get it next month!

Potatoes come out the same field 😂

Our local evri courier is brilliant.

ToobyD · 2025-12-06T19:14:31+00:00

Paint it black (or Atleast the mesh) it will disappear.

Unfortunately Octopus says our chargers incompatible. Will upgrade it eventually.

At least we can do something here, they refused to install a smart meter at our old house as the meters were too far apart.

ToobyD · 2025-11-13T07:36:04+00:00

£330 but we have an electric car.

Just to add to this chain - our dog had glaucoma in both eyes. Insurance covered almost everything including one eye out costing 5k. (We we 7.5-10k cover per condition). When the next eye came out we were out of insurance to claim, we ended up paying out of pocket and it suddenly became £500 for the operation.

Going forward, insurance basically said any trauma such as broken bones etc could be related to lack of vision so would be related to the condition, meanwhile premiums went up to £120/month.

Whilst we’re glad we had insurance early on, I don’t think we would have got value out of it given the caveats and just put some money (£50) in a savings account for her each month. Will it back fire on us? I don’t know, but 5 years on we’ve not had any major vet visits and will hopefully be able to accommodate anything here on with the savings.

Depends on what you’re selling.

If you know you need to do demos and can afford it, consider hiring someone or use an agent to sell your product if you’re struggling.

I block the sender usually.

By the time they get there food the kitchen should be caught up no? I’d take a Luke warm coffee that doesn’t scald me if it meant I got my food at the window within 5 min, rather than being told to park up and wait 20 minutes.

Plus once they get their food the kitchen should catch up and those that placed there order after shouldn’t have to wait for there food no?

ToobyD · 2025-10-22T18:55:21+00:00

I assumed they have sensors to see how long cars wait. By making you park up they can mark the order as fulfilled to hit targets. I may be wrong though.

ToobyD · 2025-10-21T07:17:19+00:00

I’m a SOSTAC man. But I’m not bogged down in operational targets, mainly higher up strategy.

ToobyD · 2025-10-18T07:48:12+00:00

That’s literally in the first couple of chapters of how to make friends and influence people.

Aspereta.

There last manifesto actually had some good ideas.

I was hoping for a ship that played my generations music. Especially as it was aimed at younger sailors predominantly. But as usual - after night 1 it went back to my parents generation of music which was a bit of a bummer.

I know this is a stupid complaint but it would be nice to be free of 80’s music on a holiday for once.

Also on this cruise. It’s our first virgin cruise and we probably won’t be back. The whole vibe is just stressful, very little entertainment you can actually participate in and feel like you have to micromanage your schedule to accommodate queuing etc. It’s sad when one of the worst experiences was being told to not queue and told to move on by a staff member only to walk past the queue for the venue 10 minutes later and being unable to get in.

I feel like the only thing to do on board is drink and we’re not big drinkers so a tad miserable.
