    I guess dubbing is more expensive and time-consuming for TV companies than subtitles?

    I’m the opposite - can’t stand dubbed programmes/films - I find it totally off putting that the dialogue doesn’t match the actors’ mouths. I remember going to a pen friend’s house in France when I was about 11 - I felt terribly homesick on my first evening there and this was somehow made worse by the fact that they were watching Dallas and all the dubbed voices were “wrong”. I don’t mind subtitles at all and quite like hearing the dialogue spoken in its true form, even if I don’t understand it, especially if it’s French or Italian as I think they’re both v attractive languages. I’ve always wanted to know what English sounds like if you don’t understand it - I guess a cross between German and Dutch and so not v attractive?

    That's a problem with your IT team, not Windows. :)

    It's a good question, but it's simply impossible to know.

    I'm learning Serbo-Croat with an online language school in Belgrade and I'd love to know what I sound like to the natives.

    Being forced to use NFC for my season ticket.

    If it uses NFC then the old season cards should still technically work.

    Slippery slope. You'll be doing it with Countdown next.

    I've not enjoyed it as much since it became crass and full of jokery in the later night slot.

    For the most part I'd rather stick lighted matches up my fingernails either way. But this was quite fun.

    Wet miserable weekends in May. Looking up Ark building on tube has been the only thing to do today. It has been so miserable, decided to paint a bedroom that was in the calendar to redecorate in October during lockdown three (our four).

    I've just had to diagnose and report problems on-line with my BT landline. Took 5 minutes (on-line guidance to take the socket apart and re-test the phone in it) and I was offered an engineer appt for tomorrow morning (which I can't take as it's my second OAZ), Wednesday afternoon (can't do because of kid's activities) or Thursday (can't do as hospital appt)...

    First time in my life I've felt unsafe in London.

    That was ******* awful!

    If we all saw that with minutes of them trawling around, how did it take so long for Met Police to get them?

    If there was any advert against immigration ( legal or otherwise) that was it! ( and I know I’m generalising…)

    I mean it's only London, right? Tiny little hamlet. Easy peasy to find people.

    What I wonder is how many people actually called the police rather than spending time videoing it and posting about it on Twitter or wherever?

    Yeah, just Finsbury Park…but you’re right, and obviously know a lot more about the logistics than me.

    Totally agree, his main claim to fame is "Car Share Karaoke" and that was a direct "Rip Off" from the Peter Kaye program when he used to car share with Kayleigh his work colleague at a supermarket, I can't remember what it was called though, can anyone help?

    Email reply to allers.

    I'm on group emails for a few clubs, comittees and that sort of thing. The organiser might email out an important update to 12 people and then 6 of them will reply to all with lots of unnecessary guff.

    'Thanks Beccs xx'

    'See you Sunday xx'

    'Great to hear from you, I'll let you know if I can make it xx'

    Just piss off. I don't care. Use reply.

    I'm never quite sure whether people do this intentionally to show off, or are just incompetent.

    A little unfair to cite Car Share Karaoke as his "main claim to fame" in light of his diverse acting, TV, chat show, comedy, etc. career, but that doesn't stop him being irritating - particularly his overly 'matey' persona. In my eyes he's taken over the mantle of 'TV's Mr. Smug' from Noel Edmonds.

    It's got so bad with the Hockey/Rugby club round robin emails that each one is now sandwiched between 'request' to "DO NOT USE 'REPLY ALL' TO REPLY TO THIS EMAIL". The best one was when someone asked the coach whether the change in training times would mean they would have to cancel their weekly afternoon hotel 'date'...

    Amazon trying to constantly trick me into subscribing for repeat purchases for anything remotely consumable. I’m a man, I buy things at random, have no idea how long they’ll last and if I’ll want to buy them again and I certainly don’t want to be tied down to a contract based on how frequently you believe I should receive them.

    That and the number of dodges you have to do to not sign up for Amazon Prime whenever you buy something. The "no" button is always tiny, greyed out and seems to almost jump around the page when you go to click that you don't want to sign up.

    I do it for coffee pods and it's sort of worked out at about the right frequency. What really annoys me is the promise of next day delivery by 1pm, so i buy it instead of popping to a shop and then it arrives by 8pm instead. Or even a day or two later.
