Random Irritations

[PJ87]

I don't know but it tied in with what we faced when streaming it from the phone, and I also saw online someone saying it's cack on PlayStation as well.

She has now lower the stream quality in the settings in the hope it doesn't constantly buffer through the episode next time. We can make do with SD as long it bloody works.

Weird , I mean in my loft the WiFi is sketchy sometimes even with the mesh and I manage to stream to my phone then mirror it via Google to the TV over the WiFi without buffering at all

Phone, tablet, TV and pc app all stream faultlessly

Maybe it's motivation to decorate ?

Nothing to do with WiFi, we were getting 150mb according to the speed test on my phone. It's just that the Disney app is useless.

I have no problem with Disney+,Netflix or any other legit app.
It’s the dodgy fire stick ?
Works fine when watching live sport,but keeps buffering when watching movies or series.

Quick Google about virgin and Disney (assume your on them at those speeds?) Throws up a few pages about issues with buffering etc

Have you tried via mobile data to see if it does the same?

No we're on Plusnet and their new super fibre thing. I'll have a read of that and see if it helps next time we watch it. ??

Cost of the food, cost of the staff who are giving up their own Xmas dinners / time with families. Gas / leccy Demand & supply, it’ll sell out

When I pay a company, the money is instantly gone from my account, but when they refund me it takes 3-5 working days to get back to me?Are they using computers from the 80s to process the refund?

Our local pub (very small village) was £65 but just sent an email out last week saying it’s now £85 due to costs etc. within a day bookings went from 30 tables to 4.

Not an irritation as such, just something that I found a bit weird. A guy on twitter that monitors accounts posted a selfie of himself crying because he has been made redundant now that Elon Musk has bought the company. In his bio he says he is worth $25m and to contact him for financial advice

pretty good deal to be fair. Never been my scene but my aunt on my dads side used to always do xmas dinner at the pub with my cousins once they got in their teens. She said it was more enjoyable than cooking it herself and just to relax.

Like you say people need paying and the cost of stuff is through the roof.

remember a few years ago on the boxing day celebrations (we have that side family celebrate that day) my mum was disgusted to be asked to pay £20 per family towards food. I thought was a cracking deal... considering my dad has 6 sisters.

If that’s for 3 courses it seems quite reasonable for Christmas Day.

Ours is £60 a head for 4 courses and wine, looking forward to it

I’m now cooking for 6. Doesn’t bother me and I like having my own quality control ?

Until we put the new kitchen in (if we dont run out of money first) cooking for 2 is a challenge, let alone 6 lol. Family all have other plans so happy to walk the 3 doors down the road and let them take the strain

online job application for the wife, giving her a hand as she doesnt have the time this week and it closes next week.

dont mind that, all good
its the system they are using
it says 66% complete when its just one bit left but I can make that fully complete by filling in gaps that arent needed Ie in all the addresses you put the first line and the second 2 lines are empty you dont need town or city etc as they comes further down.. marks as a 1% incomplete

same with all the referees , and with her training certs for 1 day courses you just fill in date given the cert , but because you didnt fill in dates attended dont get that 1%

its really frustrating, but then id rather see the blanks than fill them with nothing to write here and make it look stupid.

even the equality acts you put no so the next box is IF yes give details .. nothing to put so doesnt give it as complete lol
