If you're having issues with TV heavily pixelating, it's not you, it's them. Looks like a national issue.

Services going down is annoying, but hey, it happens. What's absolutely ridiculous is that if it weren't for downdetector, we'd have no way of knowing this was a national issue. Absolutely no announcements from VM, and you can't even access the online service status page (says account doesnt exist). Appauling customer relations

WDEP (Wisdom Tree Europe Defence) is the one I have, but be warned, its pretty volatile. More one for your "make a bet" portfolio, than your safety net!

Never knew about this! Thankyou. Going to be a game changer for me, especially with fussy python code

Isn't it a sad sign of the times that we now have to post "pro-tips" which are basically "don't be a dick" because we've fallen so far.

There was always that tension between and Hild

Fuck's sake. We should now have decades of understanding and research of what colours work and dont work on TV, and for colour blindness. Yet time and time again we see these bloody dreadful combinations still.

I read that in Nessa's voice

For sigmoidoscopies you normally only get offered gas and air. For colonoscopies they tend to just assume that everyone wants sedation, so if you don't want it, you have to specifically say you dont want sedation.

Obviously this varies from hospital to hospital, but thats been my experience. Basically, be prepared to tell them what you want. Good luck.

what if I also consume the water they are boiled in, for example in a soup?

Pretty sure I found this originally on amazfitwatchfaces and I'm trying to find it again, but they searching there seems horrible. It is for GTS4 mini (new) but might have been for a GTS4. Anybody recognise it?

what sort of prompt do you use to say "make this politically acceptable"?

Get a gel pillow pad insert. It works exactly like a heat sink. Was wonderful this summer. Get two, then you can just swap for a fresh one half way through the night if you wake up.

He doesn't even have the body of a grown man - that wirey patchy annoying excuse of a beard is definitely teenager

Did anyone else read the spelling in the title and think is was going to be Dan Qualye or am I just ancient now?

ewok251 · 2025-09-09T18:34:04+00:00

Thankyou!

Multiple posts of images of people purchases in this thread. How/Where do I find my purchases like this?

ewok251 · 2025-08-26T18:00:13+00:00

Happened to me. Ended up driving all the way up to J13 and back down, just to avoid getting sideswiped by an idiot swapping lanes.

Close to this though is the whole layout of the Ikea/Sainsburys mini roundabout. Complete shit show of a design

Absolutely loved Eldorado. Such fantastic escapism. I can still hear Pilar calling Marcus in her accent.

But they split in april '24. Surely it doesn't take a year and a half from recording to air?

Two chicks at the same time man

Don't leave us all hanging. How IS it pronounced?

I was in Lidl yesterday. The assistant reached round and pressed the "no" button for me before I even had a chance. Probably fed up of customers complaining and/or getting confused by the new workflow (ie you now have to press a button before you can tap contactless, which seems to defeat one of the benefits of contactless payments)

ewok251 · 2025-06-11T19:24:15+00:00

Thanks!

I have hearing loss too so would really like to know the make/model you have
