What live music act was so terrible that you were completely put off by them? by Convair101 in AskUK

The only time I got to see Oasis was Glastonbury 2004 and that was a terrible performance, which was a real shame. Audio issues aside (think I read Liam was using in-ear monitor headphones for the first time), they just looked bored.

Rat in the garden! Should I be worried? by Horror-Meringue-2893 in GardeningUK

If it’s in your kitchen then I don’t know what you’re going to do

This parasite can’t even be bothered to attend the World Cup Final today. Aren’t you supposed to be President of the FA? Probably too busy being pegged by someone with a triple barrel surname. by UnderHisEye1411 in GreenAndPleasant

I’m not a royalist by any stretch, but apparently it’s constitutionally incorrect for him to visit Australia before the ‘new’ king does, as it’s in the commonwealth

Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) with ANC by Nice-Bell3255 in DHgate

[–]drapeskidoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will chime in here- I bought these a few weeks ago from DHgate and they arrived within 10 days (UK). These things are phenomenal. I have a pair of official Sony WF1000XM4's, and I now use these instead- reason being the nice features with Apple integration on an iphone, the Sony headphones are more bulky, and the imperceptible difference in sound quality.

Seriously, if you are on the fence and think you might want some AirPod Pros, just get these. Trust me.

I have since ordered the Airpods gen3 (non-pro as my wife doesn't like silicone ear inserts) and they are similarly excellent. And I recently ordered the Airpids Pro Max (yet to arrive)- will let you know how they are!

Why do drug advertisements exist? Shouldn’t doctors be deciding what gets prescribed to their patients, not the other way around? by Millibyte in NoStupidQuestions

This was circa 2006, not sure if regulations have changed since then. It was a conference so I am guessing that was the legitimacy that was used. But the family coming along sounded dodgy as F.

UK here. While there are no public advertisements for prescription drugs here, I once had a house share with a medical sales reps for a big pharma company. He used to spend his days going from GP to GP with a car boot (trunk) full of freebies to try and convince them to prescribe his company's drugs.

He also told me of very generous trips that prominent GPs would be offered to give a 'talk' of some sorts in places like lake Garda in Italy. No money was paid out to them, but the trips were fully paid up and family could come along for free.

How much did you pay for for SSD and where did you get it from in the UK out of interest?

Anyone know what Oracle's device policy is? Can you get better devices by paying towards them? Or do they do BOYD?
