My pet peeve is when fast food restaurants (and other businesses) give discounts only for people who use their apps. I don’t think this is fair for people like me who do not own smartphones and have no plans to get one.Is this not a form of discrimination? What’s next? Discounts only for people who use drive-thru or kiosk? Discounts only for those who pay cash? Discounts only for those who support their stance on a political issue or voted for their candidate?
They should start doing discounts exclusive to people who have listened to at least 1 Beatles song in that day.

Offline One thing that annoys me to no extent is online sellers on eBay/Discogs that carelessly package items allowing them to come damaged and blaming the postage system. Even Amazon is a culprit. I can’t remember the last time I got an undamaged item from them. I feel like it used to not be this bad, but it seems like every other package I’ve received lately has been damaged.

Offline Stupid supermarkets that when you’re doing a home delivery order overestimate on the price of possible substitutions, even when everything marked as in stock, and turn down the order because you ain’t got enough in your account to meet their possible substitutions prices. £40.15 order, to get free delivery, and £46.78 in my account, just for a little leeway. Order through Amazon, and the last time I did it that way (and the first) the guy who did the shop rang to say a substitution was needed, gave me the options, and I kept it at exactly the same price.
My bill was £40.15, and they gave me a possible substitution price of £50.56, which obviously the bank wouldn’t clear. Just stupid when you put that high above the order, and they lose a sale.
Yes, I could have pulled some money out of my PayPal, but that belongs to AG, and I ain’t touching that (me paying for laptop in instalments).
Substitution prices should only be on final checkout so far as I’m concerned, and if you’re gonna use them for initial billing, they shouldn’t be so fecking high.
A walk over M&S later I suppose, for less.

Offline I have a pet peeve about the same subject. At my supermarket there is now a small army of “pickers” filling the online orders. Each carrier they push contains 6 large bins that are too large for the normal carts to pass by. Especially if they are new it takes forever for them to check the list on their iPads to make sure they have the proper size and product. After reading your post, now I realize they are also entering any substitutions into the database. Hopefully soon they will have a separate warehouse to fill those orders. For now, I’ve started going either early or late to avoid them.

No, that was from 11 July 2022, @Sea Belt. Joe is still trying to get him closed down, but it’s difficult because you can’t trademark a name with Beatles in it.
The date that’s just over ten years old, 17 December 2012, is the date I joined the forum.

A Beatle-peeve of mine: Live performances of “I Saw Her Standing There ” that omit the repeat of the middle-eight. That “…held her hand in my-eeeeeeeee-eeeeen!” bit is a favorite part of the song, it’s a shame to only hear it once! Plus the song really needs that key change after George’s solo, for balance.

Offline My Beatles pet peeve is how most of the information we have about them from interviews, books, articles etc. focuses on personal stuff, family stuff, political stuff (the breakup, Yoko, etc.) — and only a very small part delves into the musical minutiae of how they conceived their songs, wrote them, recorded them. I can watch an hour interview with Paul, and realize after I’ve finished that he only said two brief things about actual songwriting technique, the rest was the usual frothy blather — which is usually already repeated a gazillion times in other places — the media wants to hear.
“So Paul, you and Linda are vegetarians? [Paul nods yes] How long have you been vegetarians?”
“So Paul, did your father play music too?”
Etc. Answers to such kinds of questions were interesting the first 750 times I heard them repeated…

Offline I’ve given up with current Paul interviews as normally and generally they still go into riveting accounts of how Paul wrote ‘Yesterday ‘, how John helped write ‘Getting Better ‘ or ‘Hey Jude ‘ and other monotonous drivel we knew in-depth in 1974. I don’t know if this is Paul (and his team) not wanting to stray from conventional areas or journalists not bothering to ask new questions.

Offline Paul being interviewed by David Lynch was refreshingly interesting (even if they didn’t get into any musical technicalities).

Offline Maybe Lynch hasn’t any technical knowledge, or interest in the technicalities. I find it very weird that a filmmaker is interviewing a musician, even a filmmaker who makes thoughtful choices about the music he employs for his works.
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline I don’t know if you saw the interview, but it mostly revolved around the interest Lynch and McCartney share in TM (Transcendental Meditation), and Lynch was keen on asking Paul about his experiences in India. Towards the end, I realized Paul seems remarkably knowledgeable about TM and appreciatively rattled off all the efforts Lynch has done with regard to promoting it worldwide and in schools & media, etc.
