The remote is only capable of turning the TV on and it does not respond after that. I've tried the usual turn it off and on again and no success. This led me to the manufacturers website where they kindly have a search bar for you to type in the model you have and recieve the perfect troubleshooting solution. Great. Except the model I have isn't listed. This led me to Google where kind techy websites have listed numerous clickbaity type articles which tell me a whole manner of useless things and some things I've tried before with no success (such as changing batteries). There is one thing I haven't tried which numerous sites have suggested - pairing my remote with my TV again. They all say "it's really easy" and they're right it is really easy, if your fucking remote partially works. The advice is to "go to settings"...how the f**k can I go to settings when it doesn't respond to any buttons I press and the only physical button on the TV is the fucking power button? Heads gone imminent. This happened to me, turned out the remote could also be used for something else, if there is a button on the remote labelled TV press that and it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who do this should be given lifetime bans from drinking establishments. There was a recent advert that listed that as one of the things that makes you quintessentially British. Sorry, BRITTISH!!! It's amazing how many foreign-owned businesses have been desperate to define BRIITTISH!ness over the past seven years. Most of it seems shite to me, so I must be ONE OF THEM.

Also people who insist on having confidential work calls on busy trains. Some people used to do the former even before mobiles, especially in groups - they'd just walk towards you and stand in slack-jawed amazement that you wouldn't automatically walk on the road so they didn't have to break stride. Presumably the same folk. In needs to become acceptable to join in when someone decides to have a public conversation on speakerphone. "Hi, I can't come in to work today; I think I've got the flu-" "WHAT? YOU'RE DOING THE WALK OF SHAME IN YOUR CLUBWARE AND LOOK HUNGOVER TO f**k...oh, sorry, you weren't talking to us?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Cawdor Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 The failure of TV subtitles to accurately reflect the spoken word. Today, I have learned about the number of politicians (Palestinians) killed in Gaza and that there is a political issue concerning the number of maggots (migrants) entering the United Kingdom.

Looks fucking terrible. Why has this become such an issue all of a sudden, and if it is, surely manufacturers could have easily come up with a design change to save the players b*****dising them themselves?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's understandable when it's a live show but there's no excuse for a scripted programme. Clearly the people doing the subtitles haven't been allowed to see the script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
