Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Some of the local takeaways really need to put more effort into their taglines. They just don't make sense, half the time. There's a new one here called Sizzlers, which has two slogans. The first is "The name speaks for itself!" which you could probably argue is true, if it wasn't a completely meaningless phrase. It also boasts that "price and quality come first!" Well, no. One of them comes first, the other comes a close second. Taking the crown though, is the sadly now-defunct takeaway that cried out "No gimmicks! Just real good food!" - the name of this straightforward, no-gimmick institution? Ali McBaba's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 You can strum the "guitar" on the google home page, technology eh? I've been playing with that for the past ten minutes. Do you know what the box does? When you click on it it turns red, but I don't notice any difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it just means you can press the keys to move the strings instead of clicking on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I understand them announcing it on the train, but all it needs is "This train will be longer than the platform; if you're in the rear x carriages, please make your way forward". Do people really need a leaflet with diagrams that shows them what to do? They need someone to sound the alarm then write his fucking memoirs about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Aye, it just means you can press the keys to move the strings instead of clicking on them. It's a record button. You can record up to 30 seconds on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyarb Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Those New soap dispencers that you don't have to touch are fucking pointless, you wash your hands after you've touched the "germy pump"!! Might go down to tescos tomorrow and stop anyone from buying one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The synth part anyway. 6-6-7-8-7-6-5-3-5-2 And the Happy Birthday tune is; 5-5-6-5-8-7 5-5-6-5-9-8 5-5-0-9-8-7-6 0-0-9-8-9-8 Edited June 9, 2011 by Smurph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uni Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 5's tonight resulted in a rather funny brawl. Few punches were thrown and heads were butted. All because of a few late challenges. Did I mention we are all supposed to be mates as well On the downside I have a large gash on my leg as a result of one of the tackles. Some people are just arseholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens quite a bit at fives. It really gets people unnecessarily wound up, nightmare to referee. Not something I would ever indulge in, it's actually embarrassing to see grown men behaving like this.
