Pet Hates........or FFS

[Minstrel SE]

The channel logos on screen! I briefly watched a film on 4 HD and this large logo is staring at me top left. Anyone with screenburn issues is going to have a nice collection for a start.

Then why do I need to see it constantly? I have an info button if I care to remind myself and an instant guide menu. Who the hell actually wants those logos on screen apart from a TV company full of its own self importance?

The aliens are coming and I see this bloody white logo up there!

I saw that the BBC dont do it or I couldnt see it on channels I checked.

Anyway its a real FFS

I have a piece of gaffer tape stuck across the top left corner of my screen......

I tried that with the gaffer tape, but during a Sunday morning Emmerdale omnibus, the little sign language man complained it was really distracting. At least I think that's what he said.

Mine jumped to the opposite corner....

Yes but its not needed as a logo is it. When have you ever been frustrated wanting to know which channel it is? A quick flick of the remote will remind us all if we care

When has it ever been a problem not having a logo on display? The ancient tellies used to have a display at the bottom but there is no led display on my Pvr now because we dont need them...thets what the guide and info buttons are for.

I've had cable since 1996 so I'm used to it. Yes, I'd rather they didn't do it but it's there to remind you, whether you want to be reminded or not, what channel you are watching that great show on. That is if you can find a great show of course.

Another youth, almost certainly a poxy student, in front of me in the off-license queue. Buying 2 packs of Haribo and a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi. Paying by card. Card declines first time but he insists they try it again. A long wait. Finally it goes through.

What sort of evening is he planning to have with a bottle of Pepsi and some packets of kids sweets? You can't imagine. And why does he not have £3.50 in his pocket? A man should carry money; do they not teach them that at school anymore? I suppose there is no time in between the lessons on climate change and going on visits to mosques. And it's an extra 80p to pay by card so they clearly aren't learning any financial common sense either.

He will be interviewed on the telly in a year or two complaining about the size of his student loan and his type 2 diabetes. You just watch.

And thats reminded me to mention youthy yobby idiots wondering around the streets even in freezing temperatures generally causing trouble. On a couple of nights in the last week Ive had to pass these idiots screaming and shouting. One was running down the road to show off to his mates tonight so Ive had to hold back and it caused an awkward situation with oncoming traffic wanting to turn into my path

Im a bit sick of it. Who the hell goes out to wander round the streets in this weather? Its this age group sort of between 11 and 16 although they could be younger. Clearly they are too young to get in to the nightspots and they just seem to like hanging around Where are the parents and what are they saying when a 13 year old says he/she is going out with no clear purpose. The girls are worse than the lads

What sort of idiot hangs around street corners in -1 temperatures cos its saturday night? Why dont they go to a friends house and make Mary Berry cake recipes, watch Blue Peter or play a computer game

If they are not responsible enough to bring up kids or cant cope with them when they get a bit older, why are people having them?? Irresponsible lazy, bad minded parents = irresponsible troublesome kids.

Rant over. I will sort this world out Sorry but its a real FFS moment and these kids know they are causing trouble because they seem to like the attention.

When I was a teenager, back in the 70’s, we hid from the adults! We had secret meeting places in the nearby lumber company forests, a hundred of us would gather. But we were not seen, the adults had no idea where we were or what we were doing. In the Winter we had bon fires as big as trucks! So I don’t know what this new thing is about hanging out in the street and hollering at cars? Doesn’t sound too bright?

its a marker so that recordings show it up permanent. Worse, now a lot split the program with a little prog so you have to record both parts. Its to cause annoyance in hope you will watch at time and not record. I blank those channels.... of course as a result I rarely watch anything but they aint controlling me
