Home for the terminally bewildered, one step ahead
Just thought I would start a new thread as the old one seems to have done a Stuart Hall.....

after slightly over 60 years on this planet I have , on occasion, got a tad fed up with some minor issues. So I thought I would write a list having been prompted by another member.

these are my personal feelings and others may doubtlessly have an alternate view, I cannot help it if these people are wrong

I think you covered most things there Kerch .  

Don't know what  " Slaphead deniers" are TBH . 

I,d go with that lot with the additioin of  that bloke on the TV  called Kieth  something ......just about the most annoying person on the planet....I'd prefer Adolf Hitler, with a ghetto blaster and four Bull Terriers  as a neighbour than that twot . 

Edit :      Forgot to mention all cooking programmes .   

Double edit :    Forgot those American programmes where two illiterate idiots tour the country picking up really interesting old items & artifacts  but are only interested in the dollars .

Re the ever present DSF,CSL sales, a mate of mine was working in London some years back and in one street there were 2 identical stores, DFS or CSL, can't remember which, anyway the gear in one store was loads dearer than the other store. In store one was a 3 piece suite for say £1000, in the other the identical suite was £600, he got talking to one of the blokes who worked there and apparently to sell something in a sale it must have been offered at the higher price for a certain number of days recently. This was how they did it, nobody ever bought anything from the store, they'd be mad to, but in there sale adverts the company could legitimately advertise that the named product had been offered for sale at the higher price for the requisite number of days.

Surely you could find the need to isolate the circuit supplying the TV if you wanted.

 
Just thought I would start a new thread as the old one seems to have done a Stuart Hall.....


Oh dear, dare I suggest for the list;   "long term forum members who still don't know how to use the search option"?     Try typing in a word that is relatively unique to the thread you are searching for, such as "Brucie".    Make sure the option to search the whole forum is set and before you can say "did I tell you about B&Q's lettuced warranties",     You should find things like;



The forum archive is all there and intact, Just a bit of tweaking your search options should do the trick.
