Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The TV Talk people are trying too hard, I didn't particularly appreciate the PM spamming, especially as they've been promoting themselves all over the forum anyway.

That and allowing "him" to be a member on there, even if he is on a one strike and you're out policy.

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

As I'm sure I said on here before, I lost a family member last year after his cancer diagnosis was delayed by 3 months because the doctors kept fobbing him off with phone and internet consultations and didn't want to see patients in person for anything but covid (even though when he first tried to s...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

It's a repeat of the hysteria we had when Omicron first emerged as well, with the media hysteria and reinstatement of restrictions, and completely ignoring what was happening in countries further along their Omicron wave- only to find the same happened everywhere else. Both South Africa and Portugal...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Happened again with Hermes/Evri today, a package discovered outside the front door soaking wet from rain which had been there god knows how long. No attempt to ring the doorbell. Could be easy to say just don't use them, but far too often you have no choice but to buy some things online these days, ...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

And going back to Hermes/Evri, my boyfriend's been annoyed that something he ordered hadn't turned up, he contacted the company who finally told him that it was and gave him a tracking number (they hadn't provided these details in their dispatch email!)... and it turned out it was delivered by Evri ...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Happened again today with Evri- the courier just rang the doorbell, left the package outside the front door and buggered off (I guess at least they rang the doorbell this time rather than just tapped the front door, so we at least got a notification to the phone). We weren't even at home, and we got...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

And despite the new name I had a delivery from them today which involved the driver tapping lightly on the door (not even ringing the bell), so I wouldn't have even heard it if I was in a different room, and leaving the package outside the door and buggering off without even waiting to see if I coll...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Yes, it's not like RT's blocked entirely in the way western media is in Russia, people can still watch it if they want. I guess the difference is, certainly from the Kremlin's point of view, the only people seeking it out when it's only available on their website are going to be the converted, where...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

That relies on them having genuine plates, of course.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The fact my post has 14 kudos and theirs has the grand total of 2 (you and Darthwell) at least shows what the prevailing view over there is. And it's not in favour of Kremlin propaganda about nazificiation and crisis actors being beamed into people's homes. We're not just talking bias but outright l...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Ginnyfan clearly perfectly fine with Russian disinformation (or "facts from another perspective" as they put it) being broadcast to the world. This morning it's been reported that the woman rescued from the rubble of the bombed maternity hospital that Russian media insisted was a crisis ac...
