This is the correct answer! It’s actually worse at work because, generally, I try to stay as civil as I can with my colleagues and moaning about it is not a good look.

johnw commented on the post, I’m in Nashville 1 week ago
I’ve been to Graceland 3 times now (spanning 30 years) and I’m not even a massive Elvis fan! The most recent visit (this year) took much longer because they’ve massively expanded it. I would suggest taking lunch. […]

johnw commented on the post, Standing up or sitting down? 1 week, 2 days ago
It looks like the design of seated venues is wrong! They clearly need far more aisles in order that they can accommodate more row ends! If people are not booking because they can’t get an end of row then perhaps […]

I thought MTV had died as a music channel long ago too. Actually, I think the only things I ever watched on the European version, back in the eighties were mainly talk based with interviews etc. My favourite […]

…and Stacy’s Mom (at least in parts) nods heavily at the Cars – the video has a pastiche Cars reference.

I’m not convinced. That may once have been the answer but these days moving from phone to phone or PC to PC is a lot quicker and easier if you can connect them together and migrate huge amounts of stuff. That’s […]

I have a webbing belt I wear to smugly stroll through airport scanners without setting them off!

That’s not the case when your partner pays the bills and your name isn’t on the account.

johnw commented on the post, Compulsory ID cards. What say we? 1 month ago
There are several “Auditors” that put their videos on you tube of (sometimes) fairly engineered encounters with the police. They know their rights and it’s alarming how many of the police officers involved don’t […]

johnw commented on the post, Compulsory ID cards. What say we? 1 month ago
There seems to be a large part of the population (or at least a very noisy part) that believes that stopping immigration (and I think that’s all forms) will immediately make their lives better. I assume this […]

johnw commented on the post, Compulsory ID cards. What say we? 1 month ago
I like the idea of a form of ID that everyone can have. I recall when my mum was in her late 80’s, she needed some sort of ID (“like a passport or driving licence”) but by her stage in life, no longer had […]

Chips and mushy peas is a favourite but not really a proper meal. I’ll skip the fish and faggots though!

Sounds nice but cooking something between meals is just something I don’t do.

I think my tastes changed long before I left home. I used to really like my mum’s sponge pudding with golden syrup (never treacle!). These days I rarely eat a pudding after a meal… I’d rather have it a couple of […]

I’m no audiophile so Sonos is fine. It’s the multiroom capability and easy to use app that first sold us on it. That was back before they did speakers! We moved to Sonos after using Soundbridge for a few years and […]

I use the multiroom capabilities a lot. It also allows me to put a record on my turntable and listen anywhere in the house (or even in the garage if I take my ‘Roam’ with me!

There has to be a Beach Boys album in there but I would pick the compilation ‘Endless Summer’.

I’m intrigued that nobody has even mentioned Sonos. A couple of years back, they would have been high on the recommendations list. We’ve had a Sonos mesh in the house for over 15 years and swapping to Wiim would […]

In Bedford we’re lucky enough to have the choice between the truly awful Libby app and the much better Pressreader for daily newspapers and many magazines. Sadly neither as as good as Readly but they’re an awful […]
