Self service and I was done in sixty seconds. I feel dirty but needs must.

yeah it doesn't seem to like items that are too light - like a six pack of crisps.

a kilo is about £30 or so delivered;; that does about 40+ coffees

Must be good coffee, Grant, I usually pay about $35 (Australian) or $45 delivered. Although one company offered me some “specialty” beans for $420. Pass.

Ooh missus :eyebrows:

had new remote and GUI for the cable box. Just a nightmare having to learn a whole new remote layout and interface.

I think I am getting too old to learn these things easily.

Needless to say the new interface is not as good as the old one, which wasn't as good as the one before that. Useful features get removed, useless ones introduced. What used to take one button press now takes 7. But it all looks prettier.

I mean who cares? It's just a thing to find stuff to watch on telly/ I was happy back in the 90s when it was green text on black I don't need all the pointless graphics. These things always get worse with each version.

for example for the past 30 years at least they have had a 'Favourites' feature where you can create a separate menu with just the channels you want on it.

This saves you having to scroll through all the crap channels you're never going to watch - in my case religious, news, foreign, wildlife, murder, cooking, shopping.

Plus all the channels you are locked out of, because even though you're forking out a grand a year you still have to pay extra for 'movie' channels that show pictures like 'What Women Want' with Mel Gibson and other films that are always in constant rotation on free to air channels anyway.

Now with the new version there's no favourites feature, you have to scroll through all that pap.

Pretty much the same as the ones I would exclude. To which I would add "reality" shows, and anything with Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris.

Telly has become so crap that if I did have a 'favourites' button it would double as an 'off' switch :(

I find that telly in foreign countries is even more crap, with lots of channels of folk dancing in traditional costumes or news readers talking gibberish, but at least you have outside as an option. We just have crap TV or crap weather.
