Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)

[Sheets Tabuer]

Worry not, you could replicate the channel by dropping an electric guitar down a flight of stairs.

The Kerrang channel is no more on Sky, "Now Rock" has replaced it.

They're playing Coldplay.

Kerrang's been mostly playing MOR ste & adverts for ages.

Noticed this morning that there are now no music channels in Freesat at all now - pulled on 1st July apparently.

RIP Kerrang, I spent most of my time after school watching it.

Watching it?

Tut. Youngsters, eh?

Do you have a 'drum beat' of meetings?

Some at work came out with that a while ago; stuck a regular meeting in my calendar and said it was a "drum beat meeting" What a cock.

[RizzoTheRat]

Please tell me you can get hold of a drum to take along to the meeting.

That's what I was thinking. I only remember Kerrang as a magazine.

Still is, plus SM & various DAB radio. The TV channel was the name licensed by C4 from Bauer Media - hence being dropped (along w/ the other FTA TV music channels).

Things that annoy me: the car which *squeezes* past me on my bike in a 20mph zone into on coming traffic of a high street, zooms off over the speed limit, only to swerve left into the parking place outside the bakers.

I think that's why I miss the TV channel more, it brought back the memories of the magazine and deciding which side of the double-sided poster would be going on the wall.

The Scuzz channel was always superior anyway.

I might start a petition to bring back The Power Hour / Raw Power.

Hacks

Most of them are just a complete load of cobblers.

Travel packaging expert, Chelsea Dickenson, gives us handy hacks for saving money on our carry on allowance.

Apparently you can wear a fishing vest which allows you to carry so much more at no extra charge.



Alternatively, you could wear an extra bra for storage.



This works especially well for our Tracy, as she doesn’t have much real estate up top.

I have a top hack, just try taking less.

Took me a while to work out what it even meant. Just seems an unnecessary metaphor.

Looks a bit too much like a suicide bomber vest to be worth trying to walk around an airport in.

Apologies if parrot due.

Clearly to be worn under a large coat so you can fit even more stuff in the pockets...

Amazes me the lengths some people go to in order to avoid chackinfna bag.

[hidetheelephants]

You'd look like a prize knobber with one of those on. I have used the "overcoat with huge pockets" thing, but only because I was going somewhere I needed the overcoat.

Flying back to the UK in summer presumably.

Today, our local tip. Take 3 bits of car undertray there, to, you know, dispose of them responsibly. 'We can't take them, as they're 'car parts'. For sure, but over there, there's a skip labelled 'hard plastics'. 'Yep, but we can't take them as they're off a car'

Fine. I'll break them up and put them in the black bin, to no doubt end up in landfill. Anyone without a moral compass would likely fly-tip them. At least the guy at the tip agreed it's bonkers.

"For sure"

Another Americanism that's crept in.

Currently sat here with a jumper on, the heating on and drinking Bovril. It`s July FFS

[mko9]

Undoubtedly the hottest June and July on record though.

I did indeed mean "Things we should remember from this meeting". Usually the sort of meeting where they say "going forward" a lot and every response to the Q&A starts with "hey, that's a great question, thanks for asking" even if it's a stupid question.

Do we work in the same place?

Quite possibly

I attended what was described as a "workshop" the other day, but there were no spanners, hoists etc.

I still can't work it out. Would someone explain?!
