Mr_Danger Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 I must have endured it for a week after buying my first new telly in years and my brain automatically accepting that this is how things look now in the modern super duper hd era and as such must look better. It wasn’t until I asked my girlfriend if she thought it looked weird that I did the most unbritish man thing ever and consulted the instructions to turn it off. Quote

This one's particularly irritating to me as I do shift work, so if I'm working on a Friday, it means I'm working Saturday and Sunday. So cheers Joylon from Marketing, I hope someone sells you some dodgy coke this weekend. Quote
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted August 21, 2022 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2022 When something prestigious like a sporting title/trophy/championship has a similar name but is of significantly less importance. For instance, there are sports where ‘The Masters’ is considered prestigious and has lots of prize money up for grabs. But then you have the ‘European Masters’ or the ‘World Masters’ etc and the price fund is significantly lower - it’s just a made-up name. Why can’t it be called something else? Completely irrational but I’m working on the basis that I’m absolutely justified and any other opinion is wrong. Quote

Guest Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Steve's not the backwards sitter, he's the porcelain sitter, which is why everything's higher in the frame than if most people had taken this photo. Quote
Guest Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Cover versions that are neither better than the original nor different enough to justify their own recording. I'm being subjected to a stream of them right now and even with their own instruments it's just karaoke - not bad karaoke, but utterly pointless. Quote

They play knock off versions of songs over the speakers. Guessing it’s to save money but it’s a bit of an obsession of mine when I’m in there. Also, this sounds like Ian Browns gig last night. Quote

Aye, a common occurrence at retail outlets without the same budgets as some of the big hitters. An even worse trait are retail outlets that don't even play shit cover versions of popular songs - but play non-copyright randomly created pop songs. When I finished Uni and before I got my first proper industry job, I was doing double duty at Toys R Us and The Range (name a more iconic duo) and they both adopted this hideous musical strategy. Even over the Christmas period (which is good or bad depending on your viewpoint). Edited September 26, 2022 by Fatty Facesitter Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 26, 2022 Paid Members Posted September 26, 2022 You get a lot of that on Spotify. I only notice it when the original isn't on there for whatever reason, for example Nasty Girl by Vanity. I guess it fills a void, but they're usally just off enough as to not be enjoyable. Quote
