I much prefer it when they keep clear myself, I can't be arsed having to tidy up and hide valuables every time I leave the room in case somebody comes in to service it.

Hedgecutter Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I've just spent half an hour attempting to find a way to view/print a Word document in B&W, and still haven't had any success. Never had an issue until my new laptop took the decision to update to Windows 11 (even though I was told that it would be an option), now the functionality appears to have disappeared. Adobe viewer gives the option, just not Word. How the f*** can developers make something so basic so difficult to find? "will anybody ever want to preview a document in B&W?" "nah, let's focus on f***ing up some other once-useful option instead" Edited June 19, 2022 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Went to upgrade my phone today but due to a quirk with my address (it's sometimes listed as Flat C and sometimes as Flat 3 depending on what system a company uses) the verification checks failed. Now have had to send in documents to prove I am.who I say I am and gonna need to go back to sort the upgrade through the week at some point. Not a big deal having to wait a few days in the grand scheme of things, but majorly inconvenient and I was pretty irritated at the time.Would it not be easier to do it in the shop? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I packed in working at the College I obviously had to hand back the HP Laptop. The old Laptop I used at home (Daughters hand me down) basically gave up, so I took the plunge and bought a Chromebook. For sure it's different and in no way perfect, but overall I'm happy to be 'Windows free' at a fraction of the cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even call it chicken, surely you're just perpetuating the concept of eating animals as acceptable? I get why you'd call something "chicken flavoured" or why you'd have vegan sausage rolls or burgers but calling it vegan chicken struck me as a bit odd they should come up with their own names imgho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat folk do this too. Chicken fillet on a roll isn't a burger it's a chicken fillet on a roll. The shite minced up arse and beaks in a mcchicken sandwich are a burgers that gets a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bizarre toilet paper theme, I was in Cineworld earlier, and each sheet was about three times the length of a normal bit, but significantly thinner. On folding it twice, it almost resembled a normal bit. I have no idea why anyone would design it that way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Is that the stuff that was like greaseproof paper? They were still using that at the first primary school I went to. Didn't take long to work out that you hold your shites in until you get home but, in hindsight, you have to feel for the girls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
