I don't mind them. I think Snoop's one is the only good song he's made for decades.

Tell you what sounds weird though.. look up the alternative versions for other countries where just eat has a different name. Menu log sounds so awkward.

TV app players where they spoil the show with thumbnails. Had a couple of things recently where they did this, and I think they were both on ITVX (which is a shit app). One was a drama where they showed the characters in the thumbnails so you knew they stayed alive up until that episode. And also the darts on the ITV app, where they showed a player on their thumbnail for the Quarter Finals, spoiling the first few rounds of his matches.

 

Also reality shows which start with a preview teaser for the episode, and show the end results for a lot of the contestants. Bake Off does it, and pretty much any other ones Ive seen recently do the same.

The first time I actually saw the Katy Perry ad was in Poland for Pyszne.pl - pyszne being Polski for “delicious.”

Every time I go into my emails the junk is full of scam attempts telling me ‘Payment Declined - your cloud storage is at risk’ or some bollocks. With about one out of every five saying ‘Final attempt’. It’s fucking not though is it? What’s ’final’ about a final attempt that you’re sending every bastard day? 

Multiple of these every day. No matter how many I delete, no matter how many I block, they just keep spawning. I’m at no risk of them actually scamming me, I’m never gonna fall for it or respond in any way and all I have to do is delete. But Christ. Does my head in.

The Guardians Headline for their review of a new show:

"Malice review – you’ll be bingeing David Duchovny’s new thriller until Christmas"

 

How can you binge something thats released in the middle of November until Christmas? The definition of a binge watch is finishing them all quick. "Youll binge this for 6 weeks". What makes it even sillier, Malice is six, 50-minute episodes for the season.

Websites that make you disable your adblocker before reading an article. It's not like it's going to make me actually want to buy something, so it's a pointless waste of time.

I’ll choose option ‘C’: leave and never come back, thanks.

I prefer option 'D', use Private Browsing (Firefox) or Incognito mode (Chrome) which will automatically clear all tracking cookies every time you close the browser.
