Random Irritations

Stuck next to someone on the train who insists on playing the video she took of the Mark Knopfler concert for all the carriage to share. If you’re going to be rude and do it, for Christ’s sake choose something other than Money for Nothing. 🤬🤬🤬
 
Being woken up by a series of loud bangs, looking out of the window and seeing a burning car rolling down the road before it crashed into our neighbours car.

Peoples choice of car.
Why on earth would you buy a jag, Porsche, or Aston Martin or even any mainstream car above 100 bhp if you insist on tootling about under the speed limit.
Buy a Yaris or something.

Ah, but can you get your clubs in a Yaris without taking the woods out.....:unsure:
 
Bloke on the tube raking his nose out and flicking it on the floor, totally oblivious to everyone sat nearby.
 
Sky go downloads

They push you to download from legal sites but it’s terrible and slow to download.. downloading a movie I have on dvd to watch on my tablet on the train anyways I could have got a dodgy copy 10 times over by now

Surely that’s gonna be based on your download speed?
Also the quality will likely be higher.

I can get 1080p very very quickly

It’s the sky go app itself , allows one download at a time and not very fast

I could have got it a few times over in 1080p by now

Another example was other day I was watching Batman begins on sky go and it was buffering constantly on sky go.. switched to a less sky site and suddenly I watched the entire film without a single buffer (same connection)

Sky go was updated a few months ago and it’s gone down hill for sure

Fair enough. I remember there being an issue with it ages ago where it didn't work. Since going to the Q app I've not noticed issues. As long as I have 4g or WiFi it works perfectly.

I'd imagine any streaming site will show in a lower quality though that will obviously stream easier.

You would be surprised it’s 720p or 1080p.. they have same quality as sky and because less people on them most of time you get a better service than the one they are pushing you to pay for! Which I do pay for just annoys me that I’m told to go for the legit way to watch movies (that I already own) and it’s easier and better not to!

I’ve given up and booted up my laptop that had no battery and found the files on there from when I ripped my dvds onto it for watching on the go.. both movies I wanted now on my tablet

I had this few months ago.. to be fair my drive was on his fairway.. and he played my ball defo .. into a ditch aswel I was like excuse me that was my ball and he was really aggressive that it was his.. I said u playing Titleist? Yes his reply

Well that was a Wilson staff that you just shoved in the ditch thanks

Don’t get his anger cuz his ball was 30 yards nearer his hole (they were up and down fairways) so he hadn’t reached his yet

And I was the one now without a ball lol

went up Torvean and was playing with Hickorys for a bit of practice for the next 3 days. playing the 11th which is a par 5 these two come bombing over in a buggy, my ball had just landed at around the 125 to the green mark and there was another ball further over, they go to mine one gets out hits it in the tree's over the other side of the fairway they should have been on (14th)

as they drove past i said i think you just played my ball, a callaway supersoft, "no mate Bridgestone". get to the other ball and its surprise surprise a bridgestone. called over.
Sorry i think we lost your ball, i couldn't be bothered to go and look for it as i was just playing a few holes and could have a look when i played the 14th. so dropped a ball around about where it should have been.

play the hole and 12 and just tee's off on 13 ball was in the middle of the fairway, these two where now playing the 12th behind me and did exactly the same again, this time knocking it in the ditch on the 12th, That was my ball you played again there i told them, "no mate it was def a bridgestone this time" get to the other ball and of course its a bridgestone. " No mate it was a brisgestone 100% sure" this is a Bridgestone i called over to them i'm using a Callaway same as the last one you hit on the 11th.

Had to wonder and look for my ball as the Bridgestone they were using was a rock and would likely break my clubs and due to the bag i had with me i only had 3 balls with me... muppets

Root canal treatment. More accurately, the time it takes the jab to wear off.

Horrible stuff!

Just been dentist today myself. Condensed highlights

Root cancel 10 years ago
That tooth half crumbled away 8 years ago (dead tooth silver cap on top )
6 months ago other half gave up (say half maybe 1/3 cuz got /3 left)

Last week getting lots of food in the gum now so this gum like filling. That fell out Monday at 3am

Today my dentist shaved the mental back so no sharp edge (tooth is now half the size)

I’m happy to have it removed it’s near the back can’t even see it and doesn’t hurt but she wants to avoid it until it needs it so another temp fix lol
