Did you ever try phoning the number and tell them that the storyline bored you to tears? That's "affected" in my book. Or you could have a heart-to-heart chat about the wrong issue - "Yes, I too have dropped curry in my lap on a big date . . ."Specialized Roubaix Elite 2015

You're entitled to your opinion but.. a) it's in Bottom Bracket, not here in Cake Stop. b) If you are offended by certain words then BB is probably not the place for you, as it was created specifically so it could be avoided by those of a more sensitive nature shall we say. c) Why post on it to say you don't like it much? Better to just ignore it and avoid. d) Offensive and trivial? Seems a bit of a contradiction to me, but hey like I say we're all entitled to our opinion (mostly!).0 -

I carried a coffin at a funeral recently and was told not to use the brass handles in case they fell off!RideOnTime wrote:VmanF3 wrote:

Haha, I have no problem with adverts that load on and stay put. I appreciate they pay for the forum costs - and in BR's case, make a tidy profit - but when they follow me down the page as i scroll, it drives me potty.
Imagine If newspapers employed children or monkeys to hide behind you holding cut out adverts on sticks which they kept moving them in front of your face whilst you read. Does that sound fun? Because unless we nip this in the bud now, that's what will happen.tick - tick - tick0 -
Hipsters and people who carry their keys on a plastic springy thing that attaches to a belt loop on their trousers - really bus me, you are not a prison officer! (actually I think hipster do this as well).0

The bloody car adverts on here that appear at the top and side of the screen and then make the screen jump just as I'm about to click on a thread, I've ended up in commuting loads of times because of this :evil:"Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

This now no longer annoys me after reading the other thread about this and installing ad blocker, now I'm annoyed I didn't know about this ad on before "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut.

The irony being - it was a commuter that told you how to sort the problem

Why do some people read a comment left on a thread, and then proceed to write the same thing in a different way as though they are adding something new whereas they have just repeated the previous post. Just changing the words doesn't make it a new idea!
Also, people who just read the last post on a thread without actually reading up the rest of the posts before commenting and getting a grasp of what the post is actually about. You just make yourselves look stoopid.0 -
Agreed. People should go and get a grasp of what the thread was about. And bring something ORIGINAL to the party!0

The plural of index, indexes. I think it is acceptable in British English, but indices sits better with me.0

Bought some own brand herbs from Sainsburys and the holes on the top cover are too small to let any of the the herbs through, not a single one, no matter how long or hard you shake the jar for. Seriously, I've seen some things that are a design compromise but these are entirely unfit for their purpose, whoever got paid to come up with them is a thief.0

Amen brothers. Add vertices, matrices, and schemata to that virtuous pile as well. Oh, and one day I will punch someone for writing "programme" when referring to something executed by a computer.Ballysmate wrote:

computer program is the exception.
The word “program” was in fact predominant in the UK until the 19th century, when the spelling “programme” became more common — largely as a result of influence from French language

“Inappropriate”. If it’s wrong, say it’s wrong. If it’s rude, say it’s rude. If you disagree, say so. “Inappropriate” is just mealy mouthed IMHO. :evil:Purveyor of "up"

Phew, you don't punctuate much when you're upset, do you? My trivial annoyance with people on crossings is that strange shambling half trot that people do. It's meant to look like they're hurrying - they may even believe that they are hurrying - but it's slower than a regular walk. And the Green Cross Code tells you to walk. Don't run!
