Random Irritations

You can change the name for each 'Alexa'. I used to have the same problem, annoyed me greatly. Now the one in the living room is Alexa, the one in the kitchen is Echo (you are given the options, you can not set your own name) Talking to one does not trigger the other now.

You may know the above but we only found out a few months ago when visiting a relative. I've only had one for about 3 years :rolleyes:

Not quite the same but I have visited people who are big sci fi fans, and changed theirs to respond to "computer".

Problem was being US influenced they actually have to say "compuder" to make it work ?
 
the numpties were out today thats for sure. been taking Rupert through the park at the start of our exercise, as there are half a dozen poo bins on the edge so saves me having to cycles miles with hald a dozen poo bags hanging from the bars.

Guy hitting balls in the middle and even had his own flag, to make matter worse a young mother with a pram walked right withing range.. did he stop ...nope.

then saw two guys meet up in the canal bridge car park then go off running together, coaught them up, but both running side by side on the narrow side so no way past despite me ringing my bell over and over. both had earphones in and were Obliv, at one point there were 3 other cyclists queing behing them, in the end of of the other guys on a bike got fed up and brushed past and gave them a volley, they had a bit of a slanging match, but to cut to the chase couldn't care less, got past but saw them from the other side still blocking anyone getting past.

then cut back through the park only to see some other guy hitting balls, this time driver:rolleyes: hitting towards the road some 200 yards away.:unsure:

Guessing it's the same everywhere else as it is here totally bone dry in the woodlands... Won't take much for it to go up in flames... Hard to believe a few weeks back it was still boggy from the winter wet stuff...

no it doesnt take much, a disposable bbq seems the perfect tool on all accounts, preferred by those too selfish to care about anything other than themselves :mad:

People who ignore one way systems in shops. Just been in our local co-op, only 7 or 8 folk in, 3 of them going the wrong way.

We braved Lidl yesterday and it was exactly the same. One guy just went up and down the aisles he wanted with no attempt to follow the guidelines.
 
Our car deciding that today would be a good day to die. Always good for these things to happen when nearly all the car showrooms are closed, meaning that finding a new one will be difficult.
 
We thought we'd go for a game of tennis. First courts we tried were all in use with a few groups waiting to play - fair enough, we were too late. Second set up courts we went to (in a public park) were all locked up though. Why?? Tennis is allowed isn't it? Saw some people had climbed over the fence to use one of them but we're not that way inclined.

They reopen on the 1st June.

I know. But I'm due to go offshore for 6 to 8 weeks from the morning of 1st June, which means that I'll be leaving it in the hands of Mrs Colch, who is meant to be isolating due to being high risk. Have found one possible replacement so fingers crossed we can sort it before I have to go away.

I’ve travelled all over Europe watching England and I’m fully aware of the idiot minority that has plagued us over the years, the vast majority of travelling fans are well behaved and go for the Football.

I lived on the continent for nearly 10 years and can assure you the Dutch, Germans, Belgians, Italians, French and recently the Russians all have hooligan elements that follow them around.

It’s not me that is blinded by the media, it’s more likely you from the comfort of your armchair.

As someone who has lived abroad you should know that local people often dread an English team arriving, whether it's the national team or a club playing a European competition. Like you, I've seen it first hand. As you pointed out, our idiot minority is larger than other countries' idiot minority. Maybe other countries are better at keeping their idiots at home, whereas ours are free to roam around embarrassing themselves.

I can't even remember what started this :unsure::LOL:
