Random Irritations

[Mandofred]

And I assume you voted Brexit so saw the bias that you wanted to see. Theres plenty of mega bias news that will say what you want to hear if that's your thing.
But terms like crashing out etc are just being used to describe a particular scenario

Sorry....no. I can't vote.....I had no skin in the game either way and I still don't care much one way or another. If you refer to your next door neighbour as "the guy next door"....or "that Bas..... next door"...., one way of stating it is pretty neutral, the other way is showing a clear bias in how you think about him. The same with the terms used by the BBC.

Yeah and it's probably as close as we can get to unbiased news.
You only have to look at the mail, GB news and such to see what real bias looks like.

See my earlier post about personal leanings. You even refered to it. Many thanks!

You defend a left of centre organisation and cite two right of centre organisations.

If you have ever worked there, you'd have a better understanding. Note I said, left of centre, not Marxist.

 

[hambugerpete]

As do I, unless it’s @hambugerpete where I normally just put a as he is just too obvious.

Still getting your news off Tommy Robinsons twitter

I'll wait .

We bought an Amazon kids tablet thing for our little one, primarily to keep her occupied on the four hour plane journey this morning. Set it up last night, installed everything, charged it up, etc. When she started getting fidgety on the plane we thought, ok, now's the time to get it out. None of the apps work unless you're online. Great. That was money well spent then. Video streaming apps I can understand but even the simple gaming apps didn't work either! Baffled by that.

Rookie error there mate .

Download things onto it like Disney plus and then you can download some Peppa etc to watch on the plane

Probably for the TV thread but Strictly.
I’ve watched bits and bobs for a while as I’ve been passing through the lounge but wow, it’s really annoying me now how cheesy it has become

Its also extremely loud, ridiculously screechy and stupidly white teethy!

What does it go to when you turn up your heating, AC on, lights on, heated screens on, heated seats and steering wheel on etc.?

No idea.. haven’t driven it. It is standing in the driveway and losing mileage.
It’s a bit like a barrel of whiskey and I have lost a devil’s portion

That is a myth to be fair. It's a misunderstanding of what's happening

When those things are used initially you might lose range, but it returns. IE if you whack the heat on the computer works out right you need to use this much energy right this second doing that, if you continue to use that you will have this much range left

However that usage is very small lived and once it's at heat maintaining it is very low energy so that range drop returns

As I just posted to ken that is a bit of a misunderstanding of how it works. Predicted range and actual range are completely different I'd of expected you to have noticed that by now

Yup.. but I m not wanting to challenge my luck in this weather. In the meantime my ICE hasn’t lost a mile in this Icy weather …

You don't monitor it tho do you? Don't keep looking at the app to check

If you buy another EV I'd recommend moving away from the traditional brands like BMW, Merc and Audi. They have made some very poor models.

Perhaps a bit more than a Random Irritation. One of those late night phone calls we all dread.

A good friend, early 50’s, marathon runner, triathlete, tough mudder was out cycling yesterday. No other vehicles involved, didn’t crash, was found at the side of the rode dead.

Stunned, shocked and deeply saddened.

Sorry to hear
You never what's round the corner.
Be nice to yourself and each other and if you can't say something nice

I think that is why I find it entertaining. Although I'm not an avid viewer.
Its a bit of light relief from too much other telly is seriously dull and miserable.

I've been following Bake Off this year. Looking forward to the final this week.

Voting or not you are still pro Brexit and will have bias based on that

For "stupidly" write "scary". Tess Daly looks like an AI creation. If she stood on a headland and smiled the shipping would change course.
