Offline The only advert I remember was with Daniel Craig playing Bond for some drink which is awfully filmed as you could tell where they shoehorned 007’s parts. The rest I just ignored whilst wondering when the film would start. There were about 7 film trailers and the only one I remember is ‘The Woman In The Van’ (or something to that effect – it looked terrible).

Speaking of movie theaters, I get really annoyed when people are either talking a bit loudly or on their phones. Once, there was a lady in front of us in a movie theater, who was on her phone THE WHOLE MOVIE. She even kept looking back at me like I was the one doing something wrong. She even left the theater like 20 minutes before the movie ended for a phone call. I mean, how can you NOT recognize the fact they play like 6 commercials that tell you to “Turn off your cell phone. Also, don’t be loud!”.
Seriously, people

Just remembered that advertised as coming to the cinema were adverts and features that interact with the audiences phones. Cause thats what you want in the cinema, folk having their phones out and chatting to their mates about what comes up on their mobiles. But its fine cause they’ve to put the phones on silent.

That’s bled across from Silicon Valley tech talk, I think it was originally Microsoftese. The one I hate that everyone uses is “going forward”. Yeah, that’s the positive way to spin your ideas. I hate the myth of progress.

Offline When computer updates are downloading, why does the status bar bother to show how much time is left in the process? This morning, my computer at work received updates to an Adobe product I use. At one point, the status bar showed :45 remaining. A minute later, it showed :50 remaining. Two minutes later it showed :47 remaining. Five minutes later it showed :0 remaining…for a full three minutes! I would much rather they be honest and say, “Go get a cup of coffee, pal – this is going to be a while”.

Hehe another Microsoft “innovation”. It’s a predictive value based on the current download rate: of course the rate varies from second to second so it’s only broadly accurate and not a real guide. I remember seeing it in Microsoft installation programs but it’s possible the idea comes from somewhere else; those were the days of very very slow discs, floppy, magnetic and optical, and you really did need a cup of coffee if you were going to install anything.

Offline Bad journalism.
Reading on the BBC the sad news that Andy White, the drummer on the ‘Please Please Me ‘ album version of ‘Love Me Do ‘, ‘P.S. I Love You’ and an outtake of ‘Please Please Me ‘ on ‘Anthology 1 ‘, has died and came across the following quote
White, who was born in Glasgow in 1930, is also believed to have played on the album version of Please Please Me .
3 minutes of research would prove this to be totally and utterly incorrect.
And what is “the album version of Please Please Me ” anyway?

Honestly for me, I get annoyed with computers 99.9% of the time. When they update, it’s just slow and says stuff like “One minute remaining”… For a whole 5 minutes! And don’t get me started on laggy computers! Gah!

But the album version is the same as the single version. Unless they are differentiating between the ‘Anthology’ version which Andy White is on, or the ‘On Air volume 2’ version. If so will they do that for every song there is?

That’s probably what they are doing. As for if they’ll do it for other songs, I don’t know.

They didn’t do it for ‘P.S. I Love You’ where there is a BBC version on ‘On Air Volume 2’.
Personally I feel they are repeating a rumour that was heard once upon a time by someone in their department which nobody bothered to check to see if it was true; “is also believed…” suggests that is the case.

Offline People selling their cheap crap on Facebook. Over and over, I see the same stupid shirt in a sponsored ad exploiting all the musical pages on Facebook that I like.
“I don’t need a therapist, I just need to listen to Axl Rose.”
“I don’t need a therapist, I just need to listen to Warren Zevon.”
“I don’t need a therapist, I just need to listen to Jack Bruce.”
“I don’t need a therapist, I just need to listen to Black Sabbath.”
I don’t need a therapist, I just need to go off to a desert island to avoid these cheap t-shirts being marketed to me.

Offline The Great Irish Bake-off is on the telly at the minute (no I didn’t know it existed until tonight either) anyhoo, the task was to make a Swiss Roll which is pretty easy, I can make a Swiss Roll.
-People had their cakes split
-One lad whisked the cream too much so it curdled
-Another one’s jam was rock-solid.
How can you go on a cookery competition not being able to make a Swiss Roll, not knowing how to make jam and not knowing when to stop whisking?
Silly people.
