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

I don't mind catching a cold/flu so much, one of life's hazards. But when i catch it 3 days before Christmas, so spend the week off feeling shite, then have to cancel family meetups, and I'm still feeling rough and unable to do stuff on NYE, my piss is well and truly boiling.

Same - I landed it on Christmas eve, only just starting to feel normal again

They are great. Had one in my Transit. But apparently they aren't exactly legal for normal cars. Although I was told that before I had the disabled for work paperwork. Equally, I'm not actually registered disabled proper, so probably wouldn't be allowed to use it??

Does that mean they are legal for vans and minibus's? Perfect

BTW when i say turn the wheel faster i did not mean you driving round bends faster but one handed/arm would have to work faster/harder than two so any aid to relieve the shoulder must be a bonus.

LOL I did wonder!! LOL I have pretty much mastered the art of heel turns (heel of hand!) on hairpins and parking out of necessity. I'm now trying to use my right arm more - mostly because it can do more than before, so I need to use it!! It's really the constant gear changes that are the biggest issue. Living at the top of 21 hairpins means that if I have a manual vehicle, there is constant gear changing to get down and back up - the actual driving to the airport is fine. But if I'm on two or three trips to the valley rail stations, then that's really not a good thing in a manual vehicle.

On the knobs (not the tourist drivers ) I was told they 100% weren't legal in my Transit as I wasn't registered disabled! But if I had big bus or a lorry they would be fine

As it's not illegal in France to drive in an arm cast, don't think they'll worry too much about a Brodie!
FWIW, the moho has had one fitted ever since I've owned it, so that's 9 MOTs and numerous chats with law enforcement officers all over Europe.

Fair enough. Like I said, I can't remember who told me and it was over six years ago!

However, steering isn't the issue, so I still don't need one!!

What you need is a van with a slush box.

TBF, right now I just need a vehicle!! LOL I'd cope if it wasn't even a van!! LOL

I think i'm still hungover from NYE.... was a long night with little sleep.... i got a decent kip last night but still feel crap.

I couldn't log into any work apps (Outlook, Teams etc), on either laptop or phone, this morning (not a major hardship tbh ).

Finally can now, to find update emails from IT, where they've been trying to get in touch with me over Teams to resolve the issue and will 'try again tomorrow'. FFS

Local radio phone in is on. Trying to listen to the callers and all I cam hear is the presenter clicking his mouse. For the love of god, man, mute your frigging mic!

Starting February 5, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements

Well that'll be me cancelling my subscription then

You'll need to sign up to Super Prime for only £3.99 a month more, it'll be add free. Right up until they start putting ads on it and then you'll need to sign up for Mega Prime.

It's curious to watch consumers being boiled like frogs.

I'm so pissed off with these big corporation scum.

They are just taking the piss more and more and more. How are they justifying the extra costs to their customers?

£2.99
Yeah, but nah, they already get £100 a year out of me for the subscription as it is, which I do consider fair, but adverts or another £36 quid isn't happening, a 36% rise for the same service I'm getting now is taking the piss.
I've just gotta binge Reacher 2 before the end of the month before pulling the plug.

Lol.

This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time

They're not tying anyone down and forcing them to pay, if you don't like it, don't pay for it.

Bearing in mind that the current Prime doesn't give free access to all content.

[Mr. Dazzle]

How are they justifying the extra costs to their customers?

With the fact that people are continuing to pay them.

Nobody needs on demand TV.

But they are going to give me a lesser service for the same price without any choice.

As some others have alluded to, if they are left free to do this then where will it stop?

You do have a choice, navigate to your account details, click on cancel subscription, stick it to the man, you'll survive without it.

Or next day delivery. I've always seen the Prime TV stuff as a perk from paying for fast delivery anyway so it's a *shrug* from me (I'm trying to reduce my purchases from them Amazon anyway and will often check stuff out on their site then go direct/buy elsewhere if I don't need it tomorrow - and lots of places are getting quite spiffy with deliveries).

[cheb]

One amusing thing from Amazon, for me anyway, is their building a huge hub in Bristol has allowed that city to continue its tradition of slavery and poor working conditions. Got to keep heritage current.

My biggest gripe yesterday was the lack of communication between Brio wooden railway tunnel designers and the makers of the rolling stock. They need to agree on a common loading gauge.

[Mr. Dazzle]

The tight radius bends are a frequent cause of derailments too!

Top tip though, 3 (IIRC) DuPlo blocks are the exact right height to make Brio bridge / elevated track supports.
