Random Irritations

The "Can't Get No Satisfaction"/"Rockafella Skank" remix that has just been released. Why mess with 2 iconic songs to make an abomination?
Because modern music is so unoriginal they're scraping the barrel to be relevant and new! I heard it earlier and turned it of horrific amalgamation of 2 good songs.
 
Our website and domain name host, Eclipse Internet, were migrating their DNS this week, whatever the heck that means. Don't worry they said, you won't notice anything. Yesterday our websites went down. Today, I'm not getting emails in or out.

I've tried contacting technical support. Live chat has been switched off. Emails, sent from my personal email, are not replied to. I ring, wait on hold for 20-30 minutes, get cut off. Repeat. Absolute shower of rubbish.

Our business functions via email. Orders in, quotes etc. We can not function without it for any period of time, customers are not getting a bounce back to idenitfy our system is not working so they do not know to ring.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Back in the day, mash-ups (or bootlegs as they were more commonly known as) were usually really good, well thought out and slightly illegal tracks that often outperformed the original.

Nowadays it's just a cash grab of taking to well known old songs and nailing them together with rusty nails regardless of the result.

Put a well known artist name on any old crap now and it's going to sell.
 
I think Fatboy Slim did this mix over 25years ago - so hardly modern 🙄
Roll your eyes all you want Fat Boy slim did do a mash up of it in the 90s. But this new version called the Satisfaction skank was only released as a new mix of it last week and that makes it a modern crap rerelease. 👌

Plus the point of modern music mash ups being unoriginal in general stands 👍
 
One of the main paint guys in the body shop our new car is in for getting the key score sorted is off sick and so we probably won't get it back or another week - and we are due to travel to Chesterfield on 23rd...hmmm Update from them tomorrow.
It’s done and picked up 👌 Set expectations of next week then exceed gets big 👍👍

It’s the same song as was previously released just FYI
 
There's a guy over the road...he's just had 3 lorry loads of timber and a pallet of nails delivered...
Think he might be building a boat..:unsure:..............💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦☔☔☔☔☔☔☔
If you see any two by two animals stood on the street, join. The queue with either Missi I or Fragger 👍
 
I’ve managed to irritate myself twice in the last 10mins!

1) thought I’d charge up the beard trimmer to have a general tidy up of the face fuzz later tonight.
2) thought I’ll pop my glasses on for some iPad scrolling as I only need them for display screens

Turns out I’ve left both on the desk in my room in Norway 😒
 
The only coffee shop that confuses me is Starbucks with their sizing of what you have to order.

Tall - The smallest standard size on the menu, often corresponding to a "small" in other coffee shops.

Grande - Means "large" in Italian, but is the medium size at Starbucks.

Venti - Means "twenty" in Italian, but is the largest size

Whatever happened to just small, medium or large. Glad I always have a Flat white as it comes in one size, I’m easily confused otherwise.
You need to watch the episode of Fraiser where they are searching for a "new" coffee shop.
