RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 9, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Just had an e-mail from my broadband supplier. Strap line "Why watch the same old stuff, when you can watch football" Which suggests to me that football is as just as boring as "same old stuff" Likewise as I couldn't care less about football on TV, watching the "Same old stuff" is infinitely more preferrable.

Mine are far too sensitive and the warning light is always coming on. The first few times I rapidly stopped assuming I had a puncture but evidently a cold tyre warming up as you drive is enough to change the pressure and set the alarms off. It has been wrong every time and that's 20+ occasions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand the principal of putting the word "Smart" as a prefix when it still relies on humans to use them! Since I have acquired a smart phone I have accidently dialled more numbers and sent more gibberish texts thanks to predictive text! 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 14, 2019 Putting the word 'smart' in front of anything means that those who are not (smart) don't have to even try. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted December 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2019 'Smart' has the same use as the word 'Democratic' in the old name for East Germany, The German Democratic Republic. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2019 Exactly, you can guarantee that it is not the People's, not Democratic, and not a Republic. Except in the sense that the old Soviet republics were republics; you could vote for any Communist Party candidate you liked. Come to think of it, our system is much the same except that you get to vote for any Capitalist candidate you like. I used to be a cynic, but it didn't do any good... 6 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
