Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

I notice in Tesco that we’ve gone from good, free to take, plastic fresh produce bags > rubbish, free to take, paper fresh produce bags > 30p plastic fresh produce bags. I’m not impressed. I'm cynical enough to think it's not about saving the planet at all, but more about good PR and, mostly, cost-...

Absolutely love this exchange.

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

Honestly I wonder what circles some forumers mix in where these things are even discussed. My chats are mostly about last night’s TV and how annoying my colleagues are

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

I have to wonder about the purpose of complaining about these ‘usual suspects’. Who even are they? Certainly nobody I’ve ever met. On any issue there will be extremes, why trouble yourself with it?

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

To be fair, I'd like to wake up tomorrow and find half a million quid has been placed in my account overnight. It's not based on reality, but it's still true.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I feel a bit mean complaining as it’s all just different forms of geekery but… isn’t the technical side of the BBC Three launch super dull. I don’t get those people finding ‘secret’ feeds ahead of the launch. It’s not even like it’s anything new, it’s just a return to five years ago. I keep going in...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

The amount of plastic involved in LFTs horrified me, to say nothing of the disposable everything else we’ve used during this pandemic.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The ‘have you appeared on television?’ thread feels like it should be interesting, but mostly amounts to people saying ‘yes, I’m this person you don’t know in the background of this Norwich street’ or ‘yes, I was this vox pop in 1988’.

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The GB News thread is odd. It's full of people who watch it, consume its social media, and then point out how wrong/silly/comical it is. Like I get it, it feels good to moan about things sometimes but… I don't like GB News so I just don't watch it. I can't help thinking that they're not really targe...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

But to be fair, it wasn’t always going to be a gradual change. At first, some reported a one-hit effort, and that’s moved further from being the reality as time has gone on. It *was* always going to be a gradual change. The one-hit effort idea came from people putting 2 and 2 together and getting 6...
