Use the feckin handbrake and be a bit more considerate, have you never sat behind a ringpiece like yourself and thought “that’s feckin annoying? HANDBRAKE! and breathe. I've got an automatic, I simply cannot be arsed moving the wee lever up and down. I'm not blinded, so it's not my problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 When radio shows get someone on to be interviewed who is (a) obviously on a mobile and (b) doesnae have a decent signal. I mean how difficult is it to have this stuff checked before they get on the fucken air? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how difficult is it to have this stuff checked before they get on the fucken air? I occasionally hear phone ins on Radio 4. Which is more than the participants do, apparently. Not a format suited to a demographic that can’t hear unaided and who turn the simplest response into an irrelevant and rambling anecdote about how they used to go to Margate every July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how difficult is it to have this stuff checked before they get on the fucken air? Anyone remember the 1970s game show 'The Golden Shot'? (They had a crossbow mounted on a camera, and viewers would phone in and direct the blindfolded cameraman to aim at the target by saying "Up a bit... left a bit... up a bit more... FIRE!") Apparently one guy called in but couldn't seem to hear what they were telling him. They asked if he could hear his TV all right and he told them he couldn't, because he was in a phone box watching the programme on a set in the window of the television shop across the road! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children's TV in the Eighties had the strange idea of getting viewers to phone in to control characters in computer games with their voices. Off the top of my head, I remember them using Xenon, Weird Dreams, and Magic Pockets, but there were probably more. Kids would supposedly say up, down, fire, or whatever and the character would somehow respond (this wasn't technology that existed back then). We were more naive then; I don't think you could do that now without viewers realising that the delay would've been so huge that you'd have died long before you saw the game even appear on your TV at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's engaged the brake lights stay on. My laziness and convenience is more important to me than the drivers behind me. My previous car had this. A simply glorious piece of engineering IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I got a new (to me) car last week (an SUV, because I’m an arsehole) and it has auto hold as well (although it engages the parking brake, rather than holding the foot brake on). It really is an excellent piece of engineering. Edited April 26 by die hard doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing Bob Monkhouse tell this story. Another one was that a guy was doing the aiming (left a bit..right a bit) and was miles off target. Bob stopped and asked the guy what he could see. Nothing, was the answer, as his TV had been repossessed the week before. He was just firing blind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
