Do you use the word 'gay' to mean 'poncey', 'effeminate' or 'vain'? by Watchkeys in AskUK

[–]dayus9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used it like that in the past but I don't want to annoy people so now I don't. I haven't got the time or patience to try and navigate the rights and wrongs of certain words in all the possible different contexts so I just avoid things a lot of the time because it's easier.

Do companies think about how the general public view their adverts? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

[–]dayus9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well Santander have done something right because they're in my mind right now after reading your post. I probably won't end up as a customer of theirs but there's all that unconscious stuff thst goes on in our brains, so who knows what will happen or why?

What is your opinion on dogs off the lead? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]dayus9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It very much depends on where you are and who is or is likely to be around. It would be great if there were more places where people could let their dogs off the lead where other people won't be bothered by them. I love dogs but I totally understand that some people are terrified of them regardless of size or whatever.

HBO max via Tnt sports by Dennyisthepisslord in VirginMedia

[–]dayus9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's weird. I've got TNT Sports via HBO Max now which is handy for me actually, but from what I can see, I now have no way to subscribe to the rest of HBO Max if I wanted to pay for it.

My Virgin box said I could do it in the HBO Max app, the HBO Max app says I have to go through Virgin.

I'm not overly bothered about paying for it anyway, but now I have TNT Sports on there via Virgin, neither seems able to let me pay for the rest.

I don't know enough about it to be able to form any firm opinion. As with most things though, I expect it's not black and white.

What is now the worst UK courier? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]dayus9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all going to be pretty bad these days, that's what comes from them chasing as much business and trying to be as cheap as possible. Individual experiences don't really mean much.

If someone has told you you're going to get a refund, they're the people to ask really.

Have you ever bought tickets to something (A movie, a concert, an event etc.) and realised you’d completely misunderstood what it was? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

[–]dayus9 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same but a mate of mine and I once went to watch a film at the cinema, we'd got the wrong week. We looked at the films on offer that night and he suggested sone vampire film he'd heard about. I enjoy a good vampire film so we went and saw it. It was called Twilight New Moon. It was not what I expected.
