O2 "Christmas" advertisement tonight trying to create a "John Lewis" sentimental vibe, showing people, in the snow, using their phone to find they have no data left.
Sombre Voiceover:
"Two million people in the UK are living in data poverty".
Then it snows SIM cards.
Are we allowed to say "For Flip's Sake!"

Bigger issue I have with ours is they all install different games on their devices. We got them one each for a birthday as prime day sells them off dirt cheap
Then they complain they want what the other one is playing and I have to find it lol
Youngest broke and I had to reset it so got wiped. Hers is the easiest now as isn't full

I've had the very same problem, although not a BMW.
I took mine back to the tyre company and they took the tyre off the wheel and said Tha the valve was not seated correctly.
Had no problem since but valves these days are very sensitive, I suppose for safety purposes.

The downside of modern cars giving you chatback. Give it a bl**dy good thrashing!

When it all works it's fantastic tho, my old car just gave a warning if any of the tyres where low. No indication which one
This car tells you the psi of each tyre
So when I got a puncture the other day it was easy to highlight which wheel, how much it was holding and I got safely to a garage. Replaced in 20 mins and then the tpms reset itself after half a mile

Agree it's great technology. I know more modern cars like yours indicate each individual tyre pressure. But even just to have a warning so that you check each tyre is a good safety feature.
It's amazing if you look at cars to see how many are running on under inflated tyres without people even noticing.
Take my neighbours car a, BMW, every time I pulled up to my drive I could see his under inflated tyre, this went on for a couple of months. Eventually when I saw his wife cleaning her car I mentioned it to her. She thanked me for letting her know.
The next day she came round with a box of chocolates with a message from her husband thanking me as it turned out, not only an under inflated tyre but he was driving on an illegal tyre and got it changed that day.
What a nice gesture I thought.

Truly lovely gesture, is worrying how little some treat their cars tho, costs so much money to own a car and it's a privilege to drive yet so many can't find time to do basic checks which will prolong the life of their cars
Thank god for MOTs for some it's the one time a year the tyres are checked

Funnily enough this guy is a very keen cyclist/mountain biker, with all the lycra. I once asked to borrow his pump as one of my tyres was flat and he came along and did it for me with his state of the art tyre inflater(well to me anyway) checked it all including the front tyre, very thorough but his own car.... made me chuckle!Truly lovely gesture, is worrying how little some treat their cars tho, costs so much money to own a car and it's a privilege to drive yet so many can't find time to do basic checks which will prolong the life of their cars

And the reason the government EVERY year tell us we are going to have a heatwave, and we don't. This is to stop us selling up and moving anywhere else better. Imagine all the money that would disappear out of the country in house sales. Then factor in pension payments, all then being spent in another country. The economy would collapse, and benefit system, overnight.

You didn't tell him for two months!
Shouldn't you have said something as soon as you noticed he had a problem?

Oh Mr Slime go and play with your squirrels.
I'm not the nosey neighbourhood watch nerd. It's just one of those things you notice and expect it to be sorted in his own way.
Do you want some squirrels by the way? I have them running up and down the back fence.

Needed a headlamp bulb for the Boy's car....Nightmare parking...it's on an estate with M&S food, Next, TKMax etc etc
It's simply too small....
Finally park, into the store, find the bulbs, got to the tablet to find which one and.....not working
No Internet at all.
So I check on my phone which bulb I need and go to the checkout..cash only as the card reader works via the Internet....good job I had some..
So, really, the irritation is technology.
Fine if it's working....if, for whatever reason, it ain't.....you're screwed.....

Around 4pm today.
My, idiot, but well intentioned, friend, and his wife, called, unnanounced, to check on my wife after her recent knee op. No problem.
They brought flowers and we spent half an hour on conversational drivel during which I proudly showed my, just finished, Christmas pud ready for steaming.
Then, as we showed them to the door he casually asked " So how are you coping having to do all the domestic chores?"
Idiot!
There are two possible man answers to that:
"I think I'm doing quite well" to which my wife will reply "Yes, and now I know we can see a lot more of it".
Or, patronisingly, "To be honest mate, I didnt appreciate how much she does" to which my wife will reply "So now you know you need to help out a lot more, love".
I'm definitely gonna man shame him in the clubhouse after the next game!!
