If ever companies need an example of how not to upgrade systems, this would be it. Should be taught in business school. Given that Sonos is a high end product, it's shocking that this was allowed to happen (rumour is the headphones were due to be dropped, needed the redesigned app to support them, so a bit of a 'least worse option' scenario).
I have ten speakers around my house, inc. the Sub and soundbar, a few Sonos 5 and Play Ones plus a Move.
Ask me if I'd recommend Sonos to anybody these days.

There’s hardly any English here so we’re in the clear. A Scottish couple seem to be in a competition with a French couple to see who can with the coveted prize for outright piggery! Don’t get me started in foreign tea and coffee machines!
it's a shame only one took the hint and left.Add any dog owner with a poorly trained dog off the lead, they think any public space where dogs are permitted belongs to them.MrLongbeard wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2024 9:30 am Small yappy whiney dogs, and their owners who haven't bothered to train them, and when more than 2 congregate at the same place they're guaranteed to spoil a lovely lunch out in the sun.
The looks on their faces when I commented that it a shame carrying hand guns is illegal was hilarious

Thanx for writing that. Made me realise (along with another mate who doesn't live here!) that I should sometimes have more faith in myself!!Bigjawa wrote: Sat Aug 10, 2024 7:45 pmI asked a girl out once and got knocked back, she was a bigger girl and I heard later she assumed I was doing it for a dare, by the time she found out the truth I had already started seeing someone else. Looking back, the idea of asking someone out would terrify me now, I simply couldn't do it now, drunk or sober.Noggin wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 12:20 am So I’ve always assumed that, cos I’m not exactly skinny, when they’re drunk they assume I must be ‘grateful’ for an offer
So I do need to believe a smidge more - just difficult when surrounded by young fit women, why would anyone choose the opposite?! 
There you go, assuming all men are these shallow, degenerate creatures who have no interest in conversation, friendship and non-physical attraction. It's very hurtful.Noggin wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2024 6:01 pm just difficult when surrounded by young fit women, why would anyone choose the opposite?!

You are a misandrist dinosaur who needs to evolve and get with the 21st century.
No sugar in mine. Ta.
Been there, done that.gremlin wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2024 10:50 am Coming into work I noticed my visor could do with a clean.
Got in the office and thought I'd do a proper job. So off came the visor, out came the Pinlock insert and out came the sun visor. Gave them a good wash and dried them carefully.
First to go back was the sun visor. First pin clicks home easy. Next one doesn't want to play ball. 10 minutes of faffing, trying to get it in from different angles, taking the cheek pads out then the breath deflector. Finally clicks home. Finger prints all over it.
Next I go to put the Pinlock insert in and - ping! - goes the plastic retaining pin. FFS. I'm pretty sure I've got some in the garage somewhere, but what a PITA.
Finally the visor. One side clips in...does the other one want to fecking get in? Does it buggery. Another 10 minutes of ham-fisted faffing until it finally clicks home. Again. Covered in greasy finger marks.
After cleaning both visors, in-situ, I'm sat here wondering why I started it in the first place....

Just received a s/h book, by post, from an Amazon vendor. £10.19, cover price £7.99. Turns out it's from WBB (only under their trading name).
No problem with profit. I imagine a lot of what they get ends up as paper pulp. They pick stuff up from the door so I guess transport costs are a few £. The book I bought appears to be out of print so probably at a premium.Rockburner wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2024 2:30 pmAh, profit.... the main motive.Count Steer wrote: Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:52 pm More a wry smile than a BYP.
