Ludo*1 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Decided to sign up myself and the missus to MyLimitless at the Odeon since it's only £14.99 a month and the standard ticket price at Odeon Luxe in Dundee is £18. Sort it for myself after about 3-4 tries because their website is utter shite. Tried to set it up for the missus and despite using Firefox, Chrome, Edge on the computer, refreshing my cache and trying on two separate mobile phones - it keeps coming up an error (at different stages but mostly on the payment screen). Tried in excess of 20 times but no joy over the past 24 hours. During these multiple tries, I started an online chat with them who basically firstly said, 'It's working on my laptop.' Then said, 'Ah, that's a known issue.' Then finished with, 'Just keep trying until Monday and if it doesn't work, get back in touch.' Asked if there was an alternate method of signing up ie, doing it at the cinema, over the phone or even just the live chat guy sorting it out but was told, 'We only accept MyLimitless applications via our online form.' So basically, I'm paying for a service I won't really use until my missus has hers set-up. Absolute fucking shambles of a service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly 27.5% of Americans claim “Irish Heritage”, of which less than half can actually prove it (right at 12%). It’s about having a place to claim as your “homeland” outside of America. Americans, as a whole, obsess about the lack of history within the U.S. (250 years, roughly) and like to grab hold of something larger/longer (steady there). Heritage festivals are a huge business over here, and nothing more so than the so called Renaissance Festivals. Here’s one that just opened near me: https://www.srfestival.com Note the Celtic Weekend in a few weeks. Renaissance Fairs are fucking hilarious. Would thoroughly recommend. Corsets and cavernous cleavage a go-go. Americans really love playing dress-up for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ladies outfits, indeed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I can't watch a film anymore without noticing all the fake sound effects when people are driving cars. Anytime someone drives sedately round a corner the tyres have to screech. The same when changing lanes on a motorway. Anytime a car slowly rolls to a stop, even if it's a seemingly new, high-end motor, the brakes squeal. It's very subtle but I can't unhear it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time someone hits someone no matter where or how hard it's the same Batman style punch noise.

It's part of the fun in that type of movie, but a bit of a nonsense in a film that wants to be taken seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not, "Aisles of shite, union flags, the lot". It was barely noticeable. Mind you, were I head of merchandising for MacTesco I'd be looking to sell a discounted UF-printed apron at the butcher's counter. Just for max seethe. A trick missed, I think. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Dundee Kingsway (aptly named you may say) has crowns floating about the shop, bags of "Royal Lamb and Mint" crisps and coronation cupcakes stacked from floor to ceiling. Disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Tesco had a very limited display of coronation tat at the end of an aisle. I had the impression that they were rather embarrassed and it was only there on orders from head office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the England World Cup / Euros / Rugger WC shite we have to endure when they qualify for anything.
