Not just that 2 x 2 metrics are the same colour, but also the use of a pie chart. What's wrong with a pie chart? They're showing proportions of a whole. Seems appropriate for the pie. If i seem overly confrontational it's because i fucking love pie charts. But i do like a more user-friendly (while still aesthetically pleasing) colour scheme. I don't do graphs for a living though. Just a bit of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also, people who talk to each other in shop doorways then accuse you off being rude for asking them to move. Italy was full of such types. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" At least 10 minutes for this one boot to order half a dozen ice creams. A yew years back I went to the McDonalds drive through and picked up some lunch for the wife and I. I forget exactly what, but one of the things she had asked for had sold out so I ordered something else (that she had had in the past, so I knew she liked) instead. When I got home, though.. "Why didn't you phone me?" "I was at the drive through, talking into the speaker that was taking the order." "Still could have called. Let me know what else they have." etc etc. Basically, I should have phoned to read out the entire menu whilst sitting at the speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same stuff that has been served at McDonald's for about 40 years perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 You can't just put "ball" after a managers name and claim its a style of football. The manager is subscribing to a style of football that already exists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful..........and apologies if this triggers any of our plantation-shutter-owning bourgeois posters......... Almost 30 years on from being a, "plantation-shutter-owning bourgeois poster". We owned a 4 bed modern townhouse in Twickenham in the early 90s and fitted it from top to bottom in said shutters even before they became à la mode.. Looked smart AF and, as far as light transmission goes, you can open up said shutters to have 100% light. The small mews house I'm in the process of buying also has said shutters and I'm in two minds about replacing them. The alternative is Roman* blinds and, while they probably look better, are less flexible than your bête noire. *Aye, I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I always want to ask if they'd do the same thing on the road if they were driving. But I'm a sh*tebag and keep my mouth shut. I'm also scared they might say that yes they would 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
