The Netflix app on my phone turns on closed captioning every time I go back into it or switch between two things I'm watching. So everytime I have to pause it, go to the subtitles and turn them on (because they show as off even though their on the screen), play, pause, back in to the settings and turn them off.

Every. Single. Time.

I had something similar a couple of weeks ago on my Android phone with the Netflix app, but it was the "Live Caption" feature of Android that had somehow turned itself on, even though it was toggled off! It's in settings/sound & vibration and/or settings/accessibility. I had to toggle it on, then toggle it off, reboot the Netflix app and all was hunky dory - until the next time I used the Netflix app - Grrrrr! Seems to have stopped doing it now.

Who has all the Tennis? Beeb, Sky, Amazon, and Eurosport will still pay him chunks for pundit appearances.

As long as we know where he is going to be, so that we can stay away.

There's an annoyance! Just retire already dude, enjoy your family and the lucrative media world. Andy's legacy should not be surgery, withdrawals, and first round knockouts. Let it go!

Someone going to pay him to record some talking books to help insomniacs? I can't envisage him being any good as a commentator, except to send everyone to sleep.

I'm inclined to agree, however I would say that so many sportsman appeared massive bores but are now considered extremely good and highly entertaining

Like the Stick to Football YouTube/podcast lot:
Roy Keane - hilarious and a good sport
Gary Neville - like wise
Carragher
Wayne Rooney was so funny and such a good story teller. He stunned a lot of people.

Many grow into it, so you never know

The inability of Americans to say Moscow. Instead they say two mispronounced and distinctly seperate words that bear no resemblance to either English, anything Eurasian, or Russian.

Mozz...very long pause...Cow

I also get annoyed with the way they say Milan:

Milaaaaarn


And Notre Dame:

Noterrr Damn

I always thought they said 'Meee Lan' and 'Nodurr Dame'. It's actually took me quite a few years after hearing it first to realise they meant Notre Dame.

That's how I hear it.

Americans* have a habit of pronouncing "t" as "d" so "water" becomes "wader" etc, hence "Nodurr Dame"

• might not be all Americans as regional accents vary just like ours do.

They also pronounce Craig as 'Creg', which is a bit odd, and is much to the annoyance as the many Craig's who work in our US based company.

Not to mention 'Bernaaaaarrrd'

The one that annoys me is when they 'sodder' an electrical connection

Americans - period.

[carlo996]

People parking at pumps and going shopping at the garage without filling up. Even worse if an EV driver.

Boils my piss.

EV drivers at Asda in Eastbourne.
They changed some of disabled bays to EV bays - Fair enough, to keep the cable runs from the shop to the charging points as short as possible.
However, on a number of occassions I've noticed that some of the EVs are not even plugged in.

The car behind you, and reversing in front of you, will only be a few mins filling up....

The JCB logo. If you have to incorporate your old logo into the new one, whats the point in having a new logo?

Variations in pronunciation I can cope with but what really annoys me is when I watch a US youtuber doing a How To video and they can't just "do" things, they have to "Go ahead and do" things. Some of them manage 5 or 6 "Go ahead and"s per minute! It's even more annoying that "Gotten"

Are they swapping things out rather than changing them
Mind you they could care less
