Kodi. I actually hate it and have come close to physically smashing my device on many occasions.

It's a badly designed, glitchy, slow confusing cluster**** of nonsense. Just watching a simple film becomes an infuriating saga of non working links, buffering, UI crashes, crap quality streams, device pairing, broken repositories and general faffing and ****arsing about. Now I just fork out a few quid to rent a film rather than endure the shite experience of Kodi streaming.

Milking the stupid?

Or lazy.

:eek:

:supergrin:

Re Rugby... Twikers looks pretty nice, but does it get played in more than about 5 times a year?

A bit like the old Wembley I guess.

Wasn't there a football match there recently?

Booze and bookies.

Why do you think they give you free drinks in the casinos in Las Vegas????

Interesting gripe considering those that have Kodi seem to think is the dog's.
However your post lends strength to my perception that it's waaaaaaaay too much effort.
Just have to read a few posts on the Kodi thread to see that.

Escalaphobia I dont understand why but over the last few years I have developed this, up is fine down I am standing there doing some demented hokey cokey. Its getting so bad that I now often end up walking away.

I did not know this was a 'thing' NHE

Is the length and height irrelevant in this or is it mainly the big boy escalators that give you the wobbles ? Some sort of vertigo ?

I hardly recognized it the other day when we were passing through

The lads I play with in Jamaica will be delighted when I tell them on Tuesday that they are all Hooray Henry posh boys :supergrin:

Nor did I but yesterday in town the dance at the top of one was bloody ridiculous heaven help me if its on CCTV. Plus the fact the two women behind me were giving me strange looks. So I looked it up on Google. I think it is connected to a couple of things vertigo, and vari-focals glasses, I find stairs going down difficult I have slipped a few times since I started wearing them a few years ago so I guess it might be depth perception. The ones with a long flat run before going down are fine going up is fine moving walkways are fine.
There are a couple of suggestions on how to overcome it on Google so I will try those...

Good luck mate. Feel free to come and do your shopping in Worksop - there ain't an escalator in sight. Mind you, there ain't any shops either ...

Thanks I will bring the wife it will save me a fortune !!!

:supergrin:

The fuzzy head of red wine the morning after.

The morons who wanted Steve Mandanda to start for us in August

australian accents

It's weird. I can use them when they are moving no problem. Trying to walk down a static broken one for some reason gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Satnav holder suction pads.

They (don't) fvcking suck

Members of the public who report non existent trees on the line (probably so they catch their train).

Johnny Depp being ' controversial' at Glastonbury. Yawn.

You could have left out the being controversial at Glastonbury.

Energy supplier direct debits

Absolutely grinds my gears that there is a perpetual credit/debit cycle going on;
1) open account with supplier on best contract available at the time
2) submit readings
3) direct debits set
4) submit readings over the year
5) Go in to credit
6) they reduce direct debits
7) contract changes
8) Build up debit
9) direct debit changes
10) deal changes again
11) more meter readings
12) build up credit
and so it goes on.

Most recently; I was in credit, the deal expired, new tariff was higher, they decided to reduce the credit asap giving me ludicrous low monthly payments, new tariff obviously more than old one, six months of credit clearing in fact builds up debit because of new tariff, new direct debit is double the previous one.

Of FFS, stop messing about will you - why don't you just ask me if I am happy to leave the £200 in credit with them, because - being a functioning human being that can do rudimentary maths, i know that the higher tariff will use that up over the period of the contract.


Feel better already.

I sympathise with this. Although it doesn't affect me these days, my sister has a constant battle. She likes to build up credit during the summer (when bills are lower) to pay for higher winter bills - I thought that was the idea of this 'annualised' process.

As soon as she goes into credit, they refund the credit and reduce the DD. Come winter, she ends up owing, they then demand immediate settlement and put the DD back up again.

They blame it on the computer, but I reckon they are staffed by idiots who even failed GCSE Maths. Just leave it alone, you incompetent idiots!

And another thing. Is this 'incompetent computer' the same one that does the ordering and means Purley Way Sainsbury's are always running out of stock? :D

Parking ticket machines that don't accept new pound coins.
Overzealous traffic wardens that can't wait for me to get some change from the shop.

Parents that let their kids push trolleys around a supermarket.

I had an argument about this with British Gas. They claimed it was against industry regulations for them to hold on to a credit above a certain value, even though it suited me for them to do so for budgeting purposes.

That may well be, but do they have to reduce a DD as well, particularly with winter looming? Why can't people specify the maximum credit they wish to hold (capped by industry if needed) and leave it at that? Only then after the quarterly bill should they refund any surplus over your chosen 'cap' or reduce a DD. Nanny State interference.

Still, new Smart Meters will mean that this will be all a thing of the past :rolleyes: :moo:

Hangovers.

Too much Pepsi last night?

Nah Capri suns.

Oh yes, the Smart Meter I registered for in 2013. :rolleyes:

That poxy G tech hoover add.:veryangry

Indelible pens that lie through their teeth.

I just had exactly the same thought.

Nick Grey, inventor.

No.

Nick Grey, boring Black Country arsehole.

I've never met him, but he is married into my family. His mother in law (my relative) speaks highly of him, or maybe it's his money she likes.

He does seem pretty done to earth from what I can tell from family things though.

I've developed an irrational twitch to the egg advert.
People 'over-dancing' whilst cooking or eating an egg.
Stop please.

The **** that's parked across my driveway blocking my car in :veryangry

I'm sure he is a nice enough guy, but **** me he is a boring bastard on the adverts.

Nick Grey, millionaire

It's my cousin's daughter he is married to. I remember many years ago she told me her daughter was out in some guys Spitfire... I'm thinking, oh nice he's got an old car. Apparently it was the WWII plane, not the Triumph.

Edit: I'm not sure this is the same guy though... this may have been a previous boy friend.

Would be a billionaire if he got someone with a bit of charisma doing his adverts!

Yeah same. It's also very annoying how everyone in the ad is a shite dancer too. Was that really the best they could do?

Ed Sheeran, right this minute

Ed Sheeran, in any minute.

Have banned Sheeran from the living room.

The other three inhabitants of this abode are currently watching the ginger wazzock in the master bedroom.:angel:

I'd ban them from the house until they see sense.

People who think that because you are friends with them, they can do shoddy work, that you wont complain and they will still get paid. Fat chance.

The worst attempt at a car valet I have ever seen.

Wanted the car looking good inside (I treat it like it is a giant dustbin usually :)) as I am driving down to London tomorrow for my Mums funeral, and wanted it looking good just incase I had to ferry anyone around :veryangry

Northern Soul music to the poxy egg advert:grrr: "Do I Love You? Indeed I" ...don't. Now FRO.

Ed Sheeran - bland

Places that are still cash only

Baby-sized acoustics being strummed to death.

Barry Gibb's croaky falsetto.

Barclays' new 'moving forward' ad slogan. Lazy wankers

There's a gag in there about Ed Sheeran, your master bedroom and your Mrs

But I wouldn't be as so crude to tell it....

Gwon Gwon.....

The beach, shitty sand covered pile of ******* bothersome hate filled shite

Ants, flying ants - hordes of the apparently immortal things, emerging across the conservatory floor until halted by industrial portions of the special dust!

Those fricking Compare The Market meerkats

How can you call a critter that can barely fly in a straight line, is completely incapable of landing without crashing, and generally gets either squashed or eaten within the first couple of hours of its life as a flying ant, "immortal"?

:D

He did say "apparently".

the foo fighters one song sounded like the next

They have their moments and Wasting Light is a really good album for that kind of thing but they can be really ******* boring sometimes

OK, perhaps "very determined" or "chemically resistant".

Being neither David Bellamy nor Chris Packham and so not knowing them all by sight, I do concede that they might be different ants mounting each infiltration.

Wretched crevice enthusiasts! :veryangry

Silly bints who fire up their portable pa system, blaring out speeded up versions of Despacito to encourage people to do pool aerobics, whilst I'm sitting there having a snooze and listening to the new Roger Waters album on my iPod....almost made me want to go back to the beach.

I'm surprised at how highly regarded they are too.

People running for the tube, forcing the doors etc. It's so 70s & 80s.
These days on the whole, there really is another one along in a minute.

Indeed, when the District Line's at full tilt, there's a constant stream of the things. (this is the line I'm basing my moan on - perhaps it's different elsewhere)

3 point turns in busy high streets or main roads... This should normally result in both directions of traffic being held up whilst a +5 point turn is performed - Fort Neef High street is particularly bad for this.
Red Post Hill yesterday the driver decided to do this without indicating whilst I was filtering past, obviously didn't like the queue to the lights. A poorly handled turn resulted in them ripping the valance of the front underside as they scuffed a high kerb-stone on the opposite side (is there a karma thread)

Similarly, parking against the traffic flow on busy main roads. Causes mayhem when arriving and leaving, Should be illegal (I believe it is in parts of the States, but I could be wrong)

No idea if it's illegal but motorists using mini roundabouts in order to 'go back from whence they came' and invariably, despite slowing to a crawl and holding everybody else up, they f*ck the manoeuvre up.

I never knew it was in the US. My in-laws did, but they didn't tell when I found the only space and parked in it, against the traffic.

Two hours later, as I was retrieving the $150 fine from my windscreen, the MIL piped up and said "well we didn't want to say anything...".

Yeh, she annoys me :veryangry

I never understand this, usually if the person continues driving a couple of hundred yards down the road there will be a side turning they can pull into where they can turn around.

I agree but wouldn't banning this increase the frequency of 3 point turns?

It is in NZ and doesn't seem to cause a problem. People just find a place to turn then park.

Skinny milk
It's skimmed milk isn't it ???

Skinny milk
It's skimmed milk isn't it ???

Is it?

It is.

When people tell you about their dreams in detail.

Dogs in shops - mentioned this before but it seems to be getting more and more prevalent. I've even seen them in food shops recently. Years ago I saw one cocking its leg against some lemonade bottles in a supermarket, thought it was just an aberration, now it seems commonplace. Is there nowhere sacred?

Chinese restaurants?

Is there a town in NZ as populated as any town in south London? Not really a brilliant example.

Cars turning without indicating. As a pedestrian in the City this is a massive frustration.

As a driver anywhere, this is also a massive frustration - as many posts on here show ...

I was going to post this a few days ago, and seems relative.

As I'm in The US, my left is your right so to speak...

Anyway, I come to a T-Junction, and look left to see is anything is coming. There is a car coming at a pretty good speed, and he (they) are at a distance that is touch and go whether I should pull out or not, so I think to myself... I'll just wait, makes life easier.

The person proceeds to slow at the last minute and do a right turn into the road I'm waiting to come out of... no signal or facial recognition to me in awareness, so I'm left sitting there like a lemon.

Makes my blood boil that one.

Then again I've had the opposite happen when the car coming has their turn signal on and did not turn and I've pulled out thinking there were going to turn making me look the bad guy.

Nepotism. Brendan Rogers' son at Celtic, J Benteke and that blonde useless winger under Peter Taylor.

It wouldn't be allowed in any other £mm regulated business. In football it's normal.

And the White House!

People who pretend they like grapefruits in brandy......

20 MPH speed limits cropping up all over the place.
Going up hills especially, use more fuel/create more fumes revving yer nuts off in 2nd or struggling in third . ( Your choice)
Other drivers still tail-gate you as if they wanna jump into your pasenger seat.
Abonination of an idea :hmph: :(

Yeah ridiculous idea to stop children being killed

Children shouldn't be walking in roads. JAT.

My own dog used to do this at my local sweet shop. You've just brought back some memories.

And taught how to cross the road properly instead of just stepping out and wandering across the road in that arrogant"I'm making you wait" way people seem to have these days.

Happens over here all the time, I holler out the window at them, that makes them sit up

Particularly unpleasant at night time when the offender also has his headlights on.

you trying to whoosh me ?

Indeed. The main road near me is 20mph and has 4 or 5 traffic lights in a 1.5mile stretch, plus islands to cross inbetween. People are too lazy to walk to one of them, so just step out.

Not to mention the kids who piss around on their bikes doing wheelies and jumps on a main road, especially in this area where there are loads of quiet cul-de-sacs and residential roads they can play on. Guess maybe NIMBYs stop them, but playing on a main road instead isn't the answer.

No, I'm not driving fast enough to whoosh anyone. Perhaps a light breeze.
