Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

[Rockburner]

Bought bike insurance in April for the Rockster and the K, so today dug out the (digital) paperwork from DevittDA (The BMW specialist), and it turns out that not only have Axa (the underwriter) listed ''just' the Rockster on the certificate (When Devitt have the K as 'main' bike, and Rockster as 'secondary'), they've also added the Excluding Pillion Passengers endorsement!

I have to specifically request pillion provision every year because the renewal policies always strip it off automatically (along with other clauses, which is another thing that absolutely bmp.)

That new TV ad for iPhone that starts "Shot and edited on iPhone"

Why?

That new TV ad for iPhone that starts "Shot and edited on iPhone"

Why?

"Shot and edited on iPhone" would suggest that it is all done on the iPhone. But after showing loads of great shots it says "Additional hardware and software used" So while it may well be shot on iPhone, not necessarily edited on iPhone. It's the additional hardware bit that bugs me really as it's advertising the iPhone with things it can't actually do.

Apple have been doing that for years.

I expect "sequences shortened" and "additional software" but hardware too?

I get that occasionally. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just hearing things....

People who reply with pertanent but ultimately disappointing information to an email chain with lots of relevant people cc'd, except they don't 'reply to all' as it's their fuck up and they want to hide the fact. Spineless spunk trumpets the lot of them.

people who let their dog shit on my drive and don't clean it up.


on the bright side we've got the cctv footage and the village facebook page

Travel insurance policies. £30 last year, this year they ask the question "Do you take any prescription medication?" and as I take hayfever tablets for 5 months of the year the policy suddenly goes up to £60.

Do you need some particularly wappy treatment? Many HF treatments are available over the counter, including steroid nasal sprays, without prescription.

The latest generation of antihistamines are not available over the counter. The nasal spray and eye drops I occasionally use are, but fexofenadine isn't.

Never heard of it. How effect is it, compared to cetirizine and loratadine etc.?

According to the Mrs, it is the dog’s bollocks and kicks Benadryl in the arse!

She was prescribed it after having a major allergic reaction having been massively over prescribed penicillin

Nothing has been more affective for me since they took terfenadine (Triludan) off the market. I've been taking it for 4rs now and not had to have a steroid injection.

Didn't know that, either ...

It may be available over the counter here DB. I'll stick my head in the chemist tomorrow and ask them. If it's available I can send you some.

Amazon was boiling my piss. Just noticed £7.99 came out my account and thought "I never bought anything" It turn out i was signed up for Prime even though i had no Knowledge if this nor asked. Spoke to some overseas guy on chat who said my money will be back in my card within 5 days and after that they can fuck right off and i cancel the bloody lot.

I almost fell foul of this a while back, they like to use tricks to get you to sign up to the free trial. If you don't know you signed up then you don't know to cancel it. I got so pissed off with having to check every page carefully that I buy from Amazon as a last resort now. It's not even as if it's cheaper or safer than alternatives.

[Amulree]

Yes, exactly the same experience here, and like you, we've just shut them down altogether. I didn't like the run around we got on their website trying to close the Prime account......
