Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Absolute bullshit - derek500 is allowed to spout his bile about how 'the left' (as if they're all one big monolith anyway) love Beth Rigby who is 'in tune with The Guardian' but when I pull him up on it, that post gets removed. Why is he allowed on there anyway? All he does is make snide jabs at an...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Another misery thread for the new ITN branding. Honestly think some posters would rather everything still looked how it did in the 80s.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I know what you mean. Everything’s a disaster. I honestly think a lot of posters there genuinely struggle with things not following a strict pattern or following precedent. Look at the constant criticism of the name ITV Be, or the unhappiness about CBBC / CBeebies not updating their pres to match th...

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

As we approach christmas, I am beginning to dread the premiere of the John Lewis christmas ad. Times are already bleak, and I just can't be mithered sitting through a bittersweet, cinematic tableau, set to a slow, acoustic cover of an 80s synth song. You’re a bit late for that. It’s been out for a ...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

The self checkout hardware in Waitrose must be coming up to 10 years old as we still have the delightfully brown coloured hardware, although it has seen some recent additions in the form of the CCTV screen with built in camera, and the weight scale is now enforced, no doubt loss prevention were not...

Re: The New Real Thing

I find it interesting how conservative the cocacola freestyle machines in the UK are compared to the absurd number of combinations in other countries. Couple of related points - coca cola are bringing out a smaller freestyle machine, comparable to the pepsi/tango ones you see in subway but an inter...

Re: The New Real Thing

Given the choice of any flavour of Coke Zero or Pepsi Max, if it’s in the same fridge then Fanta Fruit Twist wins every time for me.

Re: Computer vs tablet

I’ve gone back to learning recently and after only having an iPad for the past few years, I felt I needed a laptop to be able to do work properly. It’s possible to research and write an essay on an iPad (and I did so whilst studying for a professional qualification a few years back) but it just feel...

Re: The New Real Thing

I don’t really drink either too often, but I tend to find full fat Coke too sweet now. Maybe my tastebuds have adapted, and I don’t have much sweet stuff anyway, but I think they could reduce the amount of sugar in it considerably.
