The little things in life that fuck you off

[Baz]

Sounds like your mate, the outsider, is the <random insult> in this one. I mean what kind of socially inept buffoon will happy infiltrate a club of people he doesn't know, where they'll be forced to spend a week listening to whatever he suggests and then have to converse with him over awkward-at-the-best-of-times webcam chat? His trolling game could do with improvement, cos it's not a terrible album and obviously he got caught up in the Eddie Van Halen twitter tributes, but why the fuck does he have to stick his oar in? Can't believe you let him join too. Let down.

Your other mates will be making a breakaway group if you're not careful.

van halen - van halen was the pick by an existing member, chief. newbie wouldn't get a pick for about 4 weeks.

[Raoul Duke]

God my mates are such a bunch of nosebleeders. We have a little weekly ALBUM CLUB, where we take turns picking albums and have a weekly discussion on skype.

I told my other mate about it, and he was interested in joining in. Sure, this week my mate picked VAN HALEN - VAN HALEN, discussion is at 8pm. I told my other mates, and they've all lost their shit. All of them are saying how "awkward" it would be, and how they're uncomfortable doing something so nerdy with an outsider. It ain't like we're sitting around reviewing pokemon episodes ffs. Like, I do feel a bit sympathetic as someone who has suffered with social anxiety in the past but...fucking hell... isn't the outsider the one who is meant to feel awkward in those situations?

Yeah. Everyone knows that's Wednesdays. By the way, I can't make this week.

'This'. lol at mixing your friendship groups. Get them all on here mate while you're at it.

If these are the same friends who tolerated me and mokbull joining in on quiplash back in the summer I don't see what their problem would be. (Or maybe we scarred them so badly they don't want to repeat the occasion.)

You might as well have just told us about your love of noncing. Your mates are right to feel embarrassed.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't even know who it's for, but the ubiquitous advert with carol singers going 'Twen-TY Twen-TY' and then making a load of references to zoom calls etc can get to absolute FUCK.

[Spikey M]

One of the perks of everything being online is that I very rarely see adverts these days. The rare days where I have to use *spits* the ITV Player and *retches* 4OD are dark days indeed.

[Boydy]

It's called All4 and I don't see what's wrong with it? I think I saw someone else slagging it off recently. It's not that bad.

[Manc]

It's the place to go for European efforts.

[Spikey M]

It's called All4 and I don't see what's wrong with it? I think I saw someone else slagging it off recently. It's not that bad.

There's 3 times the amount of adverts there are on normal TV. Including a load 2 minutes before the end of the programme.

[Boydy]

No there aren't. The ad breaks are far shorter.

[Spikey M]

Sort this twat out, @Ian.

[Offshore Toon]

I've been rewatching The Shield on All4 and the adverts aren't that bad.

[Spikey M]

2 more for the wolf list tomorrow, it seems.

[Lewis]

The problem with the Channel 4 one is that it forces you to watch the adverts.

[Offshore Toon]

It's more wolfy to be annoyed by adverts as you have less free time when you're MURDERING by night.

[igor_balis]

No there aren't. The ad breaks are far shorter.

Check out this dunce.

[Spikey M]

And it counts them. It's like it's laghing at you.

"Advert 1 of 8. It's a 40 second one as well mate. I might even fail to load the next one. Will I come back? Will you have to restart me? Buckle up, m8."

[Baz]

Should’ve just recorded it when it was on telly.

[Boydy]

1 of 8? I swear I only ever get about 3.

[Ian]

There's nothing I want to watch badly enough that it's worth putting up with All4.

Though The Shield would come close, to be fair.

[mo]

Watching The West Wing on All4 and it's pretty irritating to begin with when you're used to fast forwarding or paid streaming options, but now I just mute the ads and look at my phone instead.

[Giggles]

Cunts tried to rob the van again last night. Left a right mess this time.

[SvN]

Bought a new member of staff a Dell XPS 13 in October for around £1,200. It's a brilliant little laptop, and I wanted to get my wife one for christmas. The problem is I can't get anywhere near the same spec for under £1,600 now. Plus I'll have to pay the VAT.

How has the price gone up by a third in less than 2 months? Total cunts

[Raoul Duke]

Constrained supply chain as all the Chinese 11-year olds are making Playstations

[igor_balis]

Fuck I've got an eye strain headache just imagining using a 13 inch laptop.

[Giggles]

I’d love a 13” one. Mine is a pig to lug around.

[Boydy]

Plug in a monitor, dingus.

[Danny]

I would assume its docked for working in a office/desk setting.

I have a 15" but no way would I be able to work on it full time. I have three 27" monitors and if I ever travel I have a slimline monitor that plugs in via USB-C. Was a life saver on my last India trip.

[Spikey M]

Plug in a monitor, dingus.

Then why get a laptop?

[Boydy]

So you can take it between the office and home.

[Lewis]

Seems like we've walked into a nerd convention Idiotmouse lad.

[SvN]

She's currently working off an iPad with a keyboard, so the size won't be an issue. The IT department at her school have decided that staff don't need laptops, and iPads are the future. Despite them not being capable running the software the department insists on them using.

Posting this here because it's near the top of the page.

Todger? Is there a country with shitter names than America?

[Spikey M]

The surname being a mashup of Stunk and Shrunk doesn't much help.

His surname could be Willybumtittyfart and you'd barely notice.

This might hopefully tempt @John back.

[Boydy]

Been waiting all day on a courier who was meant to be here between 9 and 5 and who still hasn't fucking shown. Better just be running late and not have fucked me off.

[Manc]

I've had an order refunded today as it was never actually in stock. Superb.

[Disco]

I used an Amazon locker for the first time this week, great stuff seeing as delivering to my place is a pain and stuff sent to work is a lottery. Should have used one of those.

[Boydy]

The courier is picking something up rather than delivering something as I didn't want to go stand in a queue at the post office with a load of idiots who can't even wear a mask properly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I ordered a present for a nephew.

They sent me an email saying it's on it's way (but the tracking info doesn't work), on the order page it says it's still being processed and they have a live chat bot that tells me the order has been fulfilled...

They answered an email (about a week after I sent it) saying that it has been posted and are blaming Royal Mail.

[Manc]

Get on the phone and don't mug yourself off.

[Boydy]

Apparently they tried to collect my parcel today but I "wasn't available". I've fucking been in all day.

[Giggles]

Sounds standard for this time of year.

[Boydy]

Gonna have to go to the post office now and those courier cunts are taking more than half the fee if I cancel. Disgraceful.
