Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Being an old cnut, technology isn't my strong point. Got a new phone the other day and when I'm scrolling this forums on this site the topics seem to stick/repeat themselves and kinda overwrite the next on the list (sew below).

Is there a setting I can change to rectify this? Most other sites I've uses seem OK.Β

I similarly know hee-haw about phones, but I'd make sure the browser's updated if it's a new phone. That tearing thing looks like a bug that might have been fixed. If not, see if it happens on a different browser (all the cool kids use Edge).

Managed to get a Dr's appointment booked today for 9am on Tuesday. Speaking to my other half's mum, she asked if I'd got an appointment and once I'd confirmed that I had indeed managed that really difficult task, told her the where and when only to be met with the reply of "you'll need to leave the house early on tuesday".Β 

No f*ckin shit!Β

I don't know what theme that is but it certainly doesn't look very Motherwell-y.

It's possible you have an old theme which hasn't copied over properly. Try scrolling down to bottom of screen, click "Theme", and make sure you have latest Motherwell theme (or one of the P&B defaults if you prefer).

If that doesn't work, I dunno... ask DivΒ πŸ˜€

Cheers lads, updated both browser and theme (it was on P&B 2021 default - dark, apparently). Now a lovely Claret and Amber background and 'tearing' free.Β

You've just jinxed Motherwell by getting their colours on here.

I went out to the shop at about 9pm and it was f***ing Baltic. It felt far colder than the car thermometer was saying.

Tsk....I hope you don't receive the same message I got from Dufresne when I used the 'h' word last year. This might let us see the consistency or otherwise of Div's ridiculous 'I can't offend Sevco' policy.

My car shows that ice symbol on the dashboard if its 4 degrees or lower and I swear it's been on everyday for about 8 months.Β

More likely to get it in the neck from the historians on here who'll tell me that it was the Visigoths and not the Hvns who sacked Rome in 410.

I got my only warning for coining the Soccer Guy Facebook account and referring to Alfredo Morelos as f3nian Fred. (I haven't checked that FB account in ages but it was pretty funny).

Thought my phone battery was fucked. For some reason it was draining really quickly today. Tried shutting down everything and putting on battery saver.

Didn't work. Actually turned my phone off, thinking that I'd be OK when I turned it back on.

I was half right. When I turned it back on the battery had drained even more somehow.

Turns out it was the the Google app that has your match ticket in it, and that it has been sucking huge battery life ever since I first bought my ticket yesterday.

I managed to force stop it and the battery life returned to normal. I watched circa 90 minutes of a film on the train home, with the brightness turned up almost to full, and it didn't even drain 10%.

Wireless printers. Useless fucking lazy articles that can f**k right off. Print when they want to, and don’t offer up any reason as to why they are not.

Had an account for 2 years and this is how I learn you can change the theme. Was originally the default but is now very Motherwell-y!
