The little things in life that fuck you off

[Boydy]

Still, I'd already had Monday and Tuesday off on holiday this week so I thought it probably looked pretty terrible. Was in on Wednesday and felt like shit then. Got even worse during the night and had to take it off.

[Giggles]

I've the same dose too. I treat my paid sick like extra holidays though, so I'd prefer to take them when I'm well.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Ulcers are such a cunt.

This is the first I've had that makes opening my mouth sore though. Right in the upper corner and I have the dentist in an hour. :moop:

[Disco]

My boss has a rather odd obsession with speaking to people when they're ill, as if it makes any difference (as opposed to them leaving an answerphone message etc). He got quite irate when I emailed him once.

[Boydy]

Email is definitely the way you'd go if you're faking.

[wullie]

I email or text someone to pass it on, I hate calling in even though I never pull a sicky. If I was dying having been shot in the heart I'd still be convinced that I'd sound like I just fancy watching Location Location Location in my pants.

[Boydy]

I never pull sickies either and I'm always paranoid about not being believed but I always call in as emailing or texting seems more suspicious to me.

[Disco]

Honest people always worry about not being believed, the reality is that dishonest people are far more brazen than the rest of us think. I've never been able to tell if someone is faking it on the phone, are they ill or is that just a slightly croaky voice? If they're shitting themselves every half an hour would that be apparent on a phone call?

[Cord]

I always go for email if possible because if I do it by phone I find myself panicking and putting on a silly 'ill' voice, basically talking in a deeper slower tone and taking twice as long to respond to questions like Eeyore with Alzheimers, which I imagine immediately makes the person I'm speaking to think I'm a lying bastard.

That and I'm far too English and reserved to ever announce to someone out loud I've got a terrible case of the shits or something. You can get away with writing 'I've got a bug' over email.

[Toby]

How do betting companies get away with letting you set up an account, deposit money and place a bet, to then only ask for age/identity verification after you've won something? I'm sure they wouldn't invalidate losing bets if you didn't supply it, the scumbags.

[igor_balis]

Outlook is the buggiest piece of shit website in the world. The stupid coding means you can't even open emails in a new tab. Why is it that a website that exists simply to retrieve emails can slow down a decent laptop on a good internet connection in 2016?

Because they have a massive lobby, are largely based offshore and are basically allowed to do as they please.

It's such a terrible website. I swear these things worked a lot slicker (allowing for the technology) 15 years ago.

[igor_balis]

It's such a terrible website. I swear these things worked a lot slicker (allowing for the technology) 15 years ago.

Yep. I was writing a tirade of how a lot of websites run slower nowadays because presumably some know-nothing exec has decided in a corporate meeting that they need to up-scale the user functionality coefficient on their prime web real estate by sticking in loads of worthless features, but I just looked at outlook again and there's FUCK ALL. It is just like, the emails, and a small bar at the top of the screen. What the fuck is making it go so slow?

[phonics]

It's such a terrible website. I swear these things worked a lot slicker (allowing for the technology) 15 years ago.

I had a job that required making newsletters function for Outlook 98/2000 and co. (circa 2011) and nah, you were just more patient.

[Pepe]

What the fuck is making it go so slow?

It's the government checking what you're doing.

[Magic]

I doubled the RAM in my stepdads laptop (whilst checking for child porn) and he thought it was miles faster. Lol at that. It's slow as fuck but I'm SSD'ing it up now.

[Giggles]

Speaking of which, what's the website that tells you what RAM is compatible with your computer? Begins with a C I think. A lad in work wants to upgrade his and I couldn't remember.

[Magic]

Crucial.

Exactly what I used.

[CJay]

All of a sudden I'm getting suggestions on Amazon for music software. Something I have zero interest in. On further inspection this is because I apparently viewed some software called Sibelius. However I am completely certain that I never did and no one else uses my laptop or phone who would have been looking at it.

I'm on their live chat thing at the minute. She thought it made sense to have that suggestion because I purchased a radio recently. :face: The girl's suggestion was to simply clear my browsing history and contact them if it happened again. :cab: That seems like a rather lax attitude to what seems like someone else having access to my account. All I'm getting now is assurances that my account is perfectly safe. Based on what exactly? Gone for the usual password change, etc. but still a bit concerned.

Anyone else ever had this issue?

[Raoul Duke]

Set up two factor authentication on there.

[CJay]

Good call. :thbup:

[Giggles]

How do you do that? I don't see any option.

[Raoul Duke]

Hmm - it has it on the iOS app (using Touch ID), but apparently it's not available on their UK site: http://www.techworld.com/security/how-brits-can-enable-amazon-two-factor-authentication-security-now-3631955/ - albeit you can trick it into enabling it. Shambles.

[CJay]

How do you do that? I don't see any option.

- go to your account
- edit email, password etc
- advanced settings
- two-step verification

And set it up. Works nicely with Google's authenticator app, and you can set it to not require verification on certain devices.

[CJay]

I found all that quite easily. There didn't seem to be much to it? And I'm on the UK site.

[Giggles]

Ah, I'm doing it with fingerprint as it is already so that would be enough anyway.

[Raoul Duke]

I found all that quite easily. There didn't seem to be much to it? And I'm on the UK site.

Hmm - not showing up for me. Loco.

[randomlegend]

Supposed to be sitting a practical exam later and I've got a stonking migraine :moop:

I dunno whether to declare myself 'unfit to sit' now, or give it a while and see if it goes.

Fuck's sake.

[Boydy]

Fell asleep for a couple of hours earlier and now I'm wide awake when I should be going to bed. :moop:

[Danny]

I hate that. I have come home a few times and caught myself falling asleep on the couch and end up forcing myself up and about.

He killed someone.

[randomlegend]

Didn't sit it. I wasn't in any state to, and if I went ahead and fucked it up that's one of my two attempts gone.

Have to do two at the end of next module which is shit, but oh well.

[Jimmy Floyd]

On the plus side, Gerry Adams has been chucked out of the White House. My opinion of Obama has doubled just from that.

[Giggles]

I don't think that's what actually happened, even though he should never have been there in the first place.

[GS]

Brendan McGann cannot come to the White House.

The West Wing really does prepare one for almost all events in American political life.

If you were to draw a Crimewatch identikit where the only details you had were, "50 to 60 year old Glaswegian man", his face what you'd get, isn't it?

Just walked upstairs as heard the wife dropping her guts in t'bog. How unattractive. Sounded like someone emptying a bucket of stones in to a shallow pond.

I was away at the weekend and haven't done a shop yet.

[Giggles]

Is that not what your wife is for?

[Boydy]

Need to get my driving licence renewed and I need the new photo for it certified by a doctor/teacher/lawyer/civil servant/whatever. Left it in to the doctors' surgery a week or two ago and called in to pick it up today.

'Oh, there'll be a wee fee for that.'

What? No one fucking told me that at the time when I left it in. A tenner. A fucking tenner for the cunt of a GP to look at a photo and sign the back of it to say it is indeed me. As if the cunt doesn't earn enough already. I didn't have cash on me and they don't take card so I haven't paid yet. Might just get another form and get someone else to sign it.

They'll just sting you next time you see the doctor then.

[Boydy]

They can't make me pay it. The receptionist said it was at each doctor's discretion. There's no official policy on it or anything and they didn't even let me know there would be a fee before I left it in. I had even called up before I left it in to see if it was okay to get the doctor to do it.

[Giggles]

Actually I completely forgot you don't pay the doctor anyway so that would be avoided anyway. Fuck them, plenty of other options anyway.

[Boydy]

I actually don't know who else to get to sign it - that's why I went there in the first place.

[Giggles]

On the plus side you realised you needed to provide another picture. I glossed over that and am now lumbered with a driving licence until 2026 with a photo of me aged 17. :moop:

[mugbull]

I found out my drivers license has been suspended because I was cited for possession of a fake ID a couple months ago. I wasn't anywhere near a car at the time, i was in a fucking nightclub. The San Francisco district court is gonna be getting some harsh words tomorrow morning. Bitches.

[Boydy]

Can you do that? I'm not that arsed about my picture.

[GS]

I can sign it - for a fee of £9.99.

[Foe]

Can you do that? I'm not that arsed about my picture.

I did it online and must've missed the (optional) part of providing a picture. So yes.

[Boydy]

NI is so backwards the DVLA here doesn't even have an option to do it online.

[phonics]

That's absolutely mental. Go to a school you attended instead. I had my passport photo signed off by some guy my Dad knows because he was a teacher in the 80s. It's so lax that someone trying to charge you anything needs a drop kicking.

[Shindig]

Some woman behind me in the Greggs queue got real pissy about me picking up a sandwich. She audibly called me a 'stupid bastard'. I pretended not to hear her. I assume she really wanted that sandwich and it was the last one. That's how queues work. Fuck off.

[Magic]

:D

What the fuck?

[Lewis]

I bought one of their steak bakes the other day and it was crap.

[Giggles]

I only ever ate in the one beside the Hampton in Corby, but they had a thing with beans in it that looked like a sausage roll that was class.

[Kikó]

It made me smile the other day the difference between the Birmingham mob and London mob at lunch. Londoners are out of the door in a poncey health food quinoa gaff while Brummies were out the door of Greggs. Love it.

[GS]

In London, people swamp to Pret or a fucking sushi place. In Belfast, the queue is out the door at Centra or a Mexican place on the main street.

Belfast wins, every single time.

[Shindig]

You're not supposed to have standards on a 30 minute lunch. Convenience should always win out and there is nothing more convenient than a Greggs within 3 feet of another Greggs.

[Davgooner]

I normally go to the Co-Op.

[Giggles]

Chicken fillet roll all the way. I'd say if you were in a queue of 10 here at lunch time, 8 would be getting one of them.

[leedsrevolution]

Festive bakes :drool:

[Kikó]

I usually have something poncey.

[leedsrevolution]

I bring in a packed lunch for work. Sandwich, crisps and a biscuit. :cool:

You need to go down the sausage, bean and cheese route.

[Giggles]

You need to go down the sausage, bean and cheese route.

I think that's what was in the thing I got.

[Kikó]

Isn't the problem with that is that it's usually the temperature of molten lava?

[Alex]

I normally go to the Co-Op.

Me too. Only because there's not much else about though. I should really just start bringing a sandwich every day and save myself about a hundred quid a month.

[Shindig]

Its usually a Tuna Mayonnaise stottie for me unless they're out of them. At which point I take what I can get.

[leedsrevolution]

With Greggs I go for the more standard sausage rolls with a cheeky bacon and cheese wrap. Can't really go wrong.

[Kikó]

Bacon and cheese? In a wrap? It all sounds wrong.

[GS]

It really doesn't.

The grass is always greener somewhere else for you.

[Boydy]

The grass is always greener somewhere else for you.

That might be the case a lot of the time but Belfast is shit for lunch options. They're only just catching on to burritos now, ffs. London has everything Belfast has and much, much more.

[GS]

London is also full of cunts. Belfast is too, but of the chav and unemployed variety as opposed to the young "I've made it because I work at a big company" professional wanker.

[Giggles]

You won't get a sausage, bacon, and egg soda in fucking London, that's for sure.

Game, set, and match, Belshaft.

[GS]

I was once able to get a sausage roll bap in Belfast - literally just a sausage roll shoved between a standard burger bap. Incredible scenes.

[Giggles]

:drool:

Fuck some brown sauce in that and you've just won lunchtime.

This is true, although steer clear of their fair trade English breakfast because it's gopping as all hell. I don't know why, perhaps it's the cruelty and oppression that gives it the taste.

[Reg]

7 minutes, bleuurrgh. No wonder you need the honey.

[Baz]

I usually like tea and can't get enough of it, but since getting this cold it just tastes like the dirty water it really is. :(

[Magic]

7 minutes, bleuurrgh. No wonder you need the honey.

Rooibos tasts better the longer it brews for. In SA they can leave it for longer due to the natural high temperatures.

Bought a groupon voucher which would halfed admission to a shit naturey place I'm going to with the insufferable in-laws and her family on Easter Sunday. Read the restrictions and there were none apart from it expires in August.

[Gray Fox]

Videos that have no proper volume controls. Only on full or mute. I know they're meant for mobile use but it's annoying on my PC.

[Boydy]

But how can gin be trendy? I thought it was incredibly old-fashioned, the sort of thing drunk by sozzled colonels and their memsahibs? Yeah, but old-fashioned is trendy now, haven’t you noticed? That’s why people like beards, battered industrial furniture and naming their children Horace and Edna.

I have noticed that people on the internet always list gin among their hobbies, along with cats, cake and tea. Precisely. What could be more sophisticated than ironic quaintness? Plus, gin is nice.

Back to work tomorrow. Bleurgh. At least it's only three days though. I'm kind of fucked off at myself for having not done anything at all with my time off, unless playing through most of Deus Ex Human Revolution and watching The Night Manager count as achievements which I don't think they do. I've been so lazy I haven't even washed since Saturday.

[Lewis]

Have you watched all of The Night Manager?

That's probably the last game I've played all the way through. Hella good. Boss fights were dumb though.

You really need to stop reading the Guardian comments.

I thought he was great in this, even if he is posh as fuck (like the other main actors in it, didn't read that Guardian article, couldn't be arsed). I was surprised at how menacing Tom Hollander could be too given what he's like in Rev. Hugh Laurie also makes a good baddie.

But yeah, get a job, Lewis.

[Spikey M]

I thought Lewis said Tom Huddlestone and had no idea what the fuck was going on then.

[Lewis]

It was all good, and the fact my mother got through all six episodes without a single stupid question is a miracle of directing. I just thought the ending was a bit lame.

Anyone else think of Lewis' mother as a skeleton in a wardrobe that he dresses each day or a mummified head?

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

When you see someone you havent seen for time. You ask them 'do you still play football?' and they say 'no, i cant any,ore as my knee/leg/neck is done'

Having a mare trying to sort out my Google Drive folder. I store all my photos and videos there and I just tried backing up all my teacher files, but now I've run out of space (15GB). It says that I can put my photos into the Google Photos section for unlimited storage, which would be great if I could figure out how to do it. Tried googling it but no luck. Also, I deleted two huge albums from my drive and it's still saying I'm using 15GB.

[ScousePig]

Actually, it has deleted them now and my photos are being backed up.

[Giggles]

There's some fucker whizzing around my area on a scooter at about half ten every night at the moment. It sounds like a hairdryer bumped up about three octaves and he seems to just go out for a ride rather than actually going anywhere, so hopefully he hits a pothole and ends up in a hedge.

A motorcyclist did die just up the road last week though, so I'll stop short of wishing that on the cunt. Smashing into the back of a bin lorry doesn't strike me as a pleasant way to go.

[ScousePig]

Just remember to manually back up any that you want to keep the full quality on to Drive as Google Photos cuts the quality when using unlimited (though not enough that I've ever noticed any difference myself).

Suffice to say, moving them to the unlimited Google photos section has freed up untold amounts of space. Though I have 3000 files to upload and it's not even done 1000 yet.

[Boydy]

Not sure Google Photos is the best place to keep your child porn stash.

[Shindig]

Not now you've told people about it.

[Spoonsky]

Missing movies at the theater. Anomalisa, Theeb, and now the Lobster have all come and gone recently, and I fucking hate it.

[Charlie]

I don't know how you'll survive.

[Spoonsky]

People who misunderstand this thread.

[SincereTheRebel]

Shops that only give out credit notes. I understand its best suited to the business to give them out but from a customer stand point. Its shit even though its valid for five years.

[leedsrevolution]

What's a credit note?

[leedsrevolution]

Missing movies at the theater. Anomalisa, Theeb, and now the Lobster have all come and gone recently, and I fucking hate it.

The Lobster was so fucking shit. You've not missed out there.

[Giggles]

What's a credit note?

Only allowing you to spend a refund in their store.

[leedsrevolution]

Oh store credit, get ya.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Gray Fox]

Managed to avoid all spoilers for the F1 since yesterday.

Got to the 4oD page to watch it to have the line of text below it have who is on pole ruined. For fucks sake.

[SincereTheRebel]

What did you have to take back and why? So many people fall into the same trap of not knowing consumer laws.

Jacket as it was too small. Educate me about these laws.

[Byron]

Think they only have to give a refund if it's faulty. If it's too small or any other reason which isn't down to a design fault then they only have to offer an exchange. Not sure if they even have to do that, store credit is technically a decent offer because you can get anything else from the store, not just a jacket.

[Shindig]

Yeah, something the wrong size can be straight-up replaced.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I bought some Somerset brie the other day as it was on offer in Sainsburys.

It doesn't taste of anything :moop:

Fuck you Somerset.

[Spikey M]

'Cheap at half the price' being used to mean 'this is cheap'. Listen to the words you're fucking speaking

[Byron]

So I've split my trousers today. It's a small split but it right where the bollocks are and I've got client meetings today.

I'm paying these will last the 2 and a half hour journey until I can get to work and get a stapler.

[Magic]

ATM machines should have one function: to give you money. There should be no option for:

checking balance
printing statements
recpiets

Fuck off, all of it. One option: CASH.

If you don't know your balance via online banking or not being a fuckwit, then tough shit. Sick of arseholes taking decades checking every fucking thing they can on those fucking machines.

[Kikó]

I hate the ones that ask extra questions. Do you want an advice slip? No fuck off. Do you want to check your balance before you withdraw your cash? No fuck off.

[randomlegend]

ATM machines


Spastic.

[Magic]

Self righteous prick.

[Boydy]

Spastic.

:D

[Magic]

Oh look, let's bypass the fact that MJ makes a perfectly valid point and rather than post in agreement, let's mock a very slight error he made even though his back is killing him instead! Woohoo! So cool! High-5's all round!

[SvN]

On the ropes.

[Magic]

Done now lads. My computer chair doesn't properly recline so I have to kind of force myself to lean back and sit my ass right on the edge (maybe this is why I have spinobidifa?) when I have a wank. The chair just went right from under me and I floored it just as I was about to jizz. Could have been worse and I could have jizzed all over everything but held it in.

[Boydy]

There's plumbers in our house at the minute doing some work. They've fucked something upstairs up and now there's water running down the wallpaper in the living room. Nice one, lads.

Also, they were in yesterday and today and both times when I've come home my mum's been like "*SIGH* Oh, this would turn your head" etc etc. You've just been sitting around doing nothing while they've been working. Yeah, it's inconvenient that they're there but it's not that big a deal. You can stay out of the way. Give over.

[Spikey M]

MJ and Boydy having very different pipe problems there.

[John]

Immeditely after kicking off about someone calling you a spastic probably isn't the best time to tell us you can't use chairs or wank properly, Magic.

[Magic]

Spazzies are the best wankers. Fuckers are renowned for their superhuman strength.

Welcome to TTH, the land of snipey cunts. Though in fairness, you'd be first one to do it too :D

[Magic]

Between this and the whole gombeen thing I'm almost done with this place.

[Giggles]

Between this and the whole gombeen thing I'm almost done with this place.

Tell me when you're going as it'll be a complete waste then.

[Boydy]

Get a room.

[leedsrevolution]

Between this and the whole gombeen thing I'm almost done with this place.

Is that similar to a gombine?

[igor_balis]

ass to mouth machines?

[Raoul Duke]

In some foreign places they have contactless cash machines, so you don't even have to dick about putting your card in the slot.

[Magic]

Backwards foreign cunts.

[Giggles]

Speaking of contactless, around 2 in 3 shops that I go into have the contactless pay terminal but it's "not activated" so I've to chip and pin it anyway. That's backward shit there.

[Kikó]

In the USA, they just swipe cards and you sign. I once signed a payment with a smiley face

[Giggles]

They've bringing in chip & pin and contactless in a big way there though. Paying with your phone is really handy.

[Pepe]

The pin thing is starting to pop up in most places now.

[Boydy]

Why do American tourists over here always have stupid swipe cards then?

Backwards fucks.

[Giggles]

Why do American tourists over here always have stupid swipe cards then?

Backwards fucks.

Because up until now that's what shops there took for the most part, so they'd obviously need the type of card that they use 99.9% of the time. The change to chip and pin is only really happening now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a shambles of a country.

Even Somalia got chip and pin years ago.

[Boydy]

Yeah so why don't they have chip and pin cards now if it's popping up most places because they're bringing it in in a big way now?

It can't be that big or popular yet if they're still running around with the shit old cards.

[Giggles]

Yeah so why don't they have chip and pin cards now if it's popping up most places because they're bringing it in in a big way now?

It can't be that big or popular yet if they're still running around with the shit old cards.

Because things like this don't change in one shot overnight and nearly all places will take both during the switch, so there's absolutely no point in replacing your card until it expires and you have to.

[Pepe]

Pipe down, they're basically the exact same shit. One you swipe, the other you insert. Big fucking difference.

[Shindig]

I managed to drop an entire quiche on the floor yesterday. I don't think I've ever felt more depressed.

[Giggles]

Pipe down, they're basically the exact same shit. One you swipe, the other you insert. Big fucking difference.

But it's America so everything about it is obviously wrong and all that.

[Boydy]

Signatures are a lot less secure.

[Lewis]

I don't have an internet banking profile, and I'm going to see how long I can hold out (I tried to set one up in 2011, but they wanted to know security answers that I provided when I was fifteen, so fuck them).

[phonics]

People expecting a country that still weighs in oz. to be on a Chip And Pin ting.

[Pepe]

Doesn't the UK still use 'stones'? :D

[Magic]

I don't even know what that swipe and sign shit is. I'd lol if that was a legitimate way to pay, nevermind the only way. #VOTETRUMP

[Magic]

Expect bewns like this to spend 18 minutes checking their bank details at an automated teller ATM machine.

[Pepe]

What is a high-tech ENGINEER like yourself doing withdrawing cash? I would expect you to be balls deep into the whole pay with your phone movement.

[Giggles]

This side of the Atlantic? That stuff is years off outside the US.

[Magic]

Real engineers don't trust wireless shit.

Anyway I only withdraw cash to pay for booze at pubs or a haircut. Any cunt that doesn't have a PDQ machine can fuck off.

[Magic]

Instagram really is a pile of self indulgent shit, isn't it? It's just full of uninteresting cunts posting pictures of their fucking dogs or liking pictures of celebrities. Boring shite.

[Pepe]

Done with efukts archives?

[Giggles]

I'm with MJ. And the tagging too, fucking hell the tagging.

Some picture of a cup of coffee followed by:

I figure if I haven't got enough money I'll soon realise, so I rarely check my account. That said, if I heard you chuntering behind me whilst doing so I'd knee you in the back.

[Kikó]

Apple pay is quite common in London now especially on the transport network.


This side of the Atlantic? That stuff is years off outside the US.

[Spikey M]

It's pretty common in fucking Southend. Fuck knows the backwaters some of you inhabit.

[Giggles]

It's pretty common in fucking Southend. Fuck knows the backwaters some of you inhabit.

A backwater that normally gets on technology some time after places like India.

[Raoul Duke]

If you can pay with contactless you can pay with Apple Pay. It's the same technology, except one has secure fingerprint authentication, and the other has nothing.

[Giggles]

If you can pay with contactless you can pay with Apple Pay. It's the same technology, except one has secure fingerprint authentication, and the other has nothing.

We run a different system here as your bank has to support it. Places like KFC and McD's have Apple and Samsung Pay advertised but you can't actually add your card to the services as the banks won't let you.

[Raoul Duke]

Yeah, there's some bank-side configuration needed I suppose. I think now all the major ones have it here.

[Giggles]

Yeah, there's some bank-side configuration needed I suppose. I think now all the major ones have it here.

We'll follow suit once the UK has it fully implemented. Samsung Pay seems to be the most useful of the three but I think their added functionality is more suited to the US. It'll all depend if I can add my fuel card to it too once it kicks off as it's a swipe card. If not I'll just use Android Pay as I'd just trust Google with my data over Samsung.

You have to love finishing a morning shift, getting into bed for a quick nap and then the kid downstairs gets the trombone out and starts playing it TERRIBLY.

[Yevrah]

Queues in McDonald's.

Each till is a separate queue you fucking morons. What is the obsession everyone seemingly has with creating one huge line that backs out of the fucking door?

[phonics]

I work at an airport on the weekends. Sometimes peoples check-in hasn't quite opened yet so they move back a bit and wait which is fine. Then you notice people are queing behind them! They've literally invented a queue and then it just keeps going and you're staring at them with the 'Are you mental?' face before you have to go stop this queue that is now backed up to the BA desk DESPITE THERE BEING NO FUCKING QUEUE.

[Yevrah]

It's absolutely mental.

And back to the McDonalds thing, people don't do that in supermarkets, so why there? And Burger King and KFC and...
