"Is that my iPhone 10 ringing?" - "I was watching porn last night on my IPad 6" just fecking call them a phone or a tablet. I have an iPhone, iPad, and iMac. I refer to the phone simply as my phone, no need to bring the manufacturer into it. For example, ‘can’t find my phone’.... my iPad I never refer to as a ‘tablet’. For example ‘can’t find my iPad’.... my iMac I simply refer to as ‘the computer’. For example ‘can’t find the computer’.... to which Mrs Poz always replies ‘it’s still in the wee bedroom up the stairs that we use as a study and storage room, it’s been there for years, you daft p***k’. So, for me, it’s ‘phone’, ‘iPad’, and ‘computer’. Edited November 8, 2019 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have some FM wireless based ones in the 1990s that made a feel quite space age but I like the big standard wired Apple ones best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 16 hours ago, ICTChris said: I’m late to this conversation but the reason employers have to have policies and standards is to protect themselves against legal action. If you were best mates with your manager and they let you off with a few dodgy sick days but someone in another department was binned for the same the they’d be able to point to that if they took the company to court. The whole thing is a hoop jumping exercise. I worked with a woman who was let go because of her sickness record. She had severe mental health problems and in the four years I worked with her she was probably in the office a total of eight or nine months. The process as I understand it is that the firm has to show they had given her every chance, they had tried to accommodate her and they had her examined by occupational health doctors. She went to a lawyer who basically said she didn’t have a leg to stand on. The company offered a pay off, effectively redundancy and she took it. She died a few months later, really tragic, extremely sad. Would that not count as a severe health problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about other apps, but deezer uses reduced sound quality for wireless. Plus they came with the phone and wireless ones cost over ten pounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, drinking in the good old days when 1/2p pieces were a thing. You would hand someone a 1p, and say "Get yourself a couple of halfs". It never got old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I can only use in-ear earphones, and I'm certainly not using wireless versions of them. I'd be constantly paranoid about them falling out, and I'd look like even more of a twat than I already do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can you only use in ear ones, and why would wireless ones be more liable to fall out than wired ones? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like things covering my ears, and if wireless ones were to fall out I might not be able to catch them. This isn't to mention that if I'm out and have earphones in I use my old Nokia phone which doesn't have any wireless capability, so it's a moot point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Do you use the ones the sort of wrap around your ear? I have wireless Bluetooth earphones like that for running, never fall out unlike the simple buds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 My £20 Bluetooth headphones have better sound quality on certain file types than my airpods. Apparently it's due to the way the sound is processed on Android to apple. Me, I don't really give a flying rats arse. The headphones are for when the wife is watching the latest round of reality shite and the airpods are for avoiding people when in the shops or on foot. That said. Being able to control the volume and change track via my watch also means my phone never needs to leave my pocket on the move. No cables, no fannying about with the music app. Certainly beats the old MP3 player days. Or the portable CD player with 60seconds shock proof buffering, or, god help me, the reversible tape player with the shitey foam coated headphones with the thin metal strip holding them together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
