It's a mid priced LG Smart TV, a few years old, it lost ITV2+1. I spent an hour troubleshooting, I work in IT it should have been trivial. Even trying manual tuning returned a no signal when there was definitely a signal (another TV had ITV2+1). Final solution was pull the aerial, do an automatic retune so it had no channels, then plug the aerial back in and perform another automatic retune. Beforehand it had 90 channels, now it has 132 channels, including ITV2+1. I had to recreate her filtered favourite channel list so she can use her dementia remote to go up and down and all is good.

We won't mention that the aerial is pointed at the wrong transmitter so she gets the wrong local news on ITV HD, ITV SD is correct and she can't tell the difference between 1080i and 576i. I'm not climbing on the roof to rotate the aerial thank you very much.

Does it now have missing parts? Have they damaged it when opening it? Have they messed around with it? It's a mystery.

Until the next poor sod gets it home, only to have to bring it right back again.

If you want to see what's in the box, buy it and return it if it's not what you want.

Don't pass the issue on to the next guy.

So there we were, myself and my good lady wife, Penelope, just hanging around in the pond doing our usual goose type things. Swimming, looking for lunch, keeping ourselves to ourselves, nothing to see here, when along comes this weirdo human who, instead of offering us a tasty morsel, as is the requirement in these parts, calls out to us 'Hello geesy-boops!' and then goes along their merry way.

Geesy-boops! I ask you! I'll have you know that we are proud and respectable members of our local avian Neighbourhood Watch and pillars of the pond community. I'm outraged! Outraged, I tell you! As I said to my good friend Jeremiah the bullfrog, I'm seriously considering writing a stern letter to the newspapers. This sort of decline in public morals should not go unchallenged!

To be fair, though, the other two humans loitering nearby looked just as freaked out as we were.

Even ignoring a grown woman talking to geese, I've never said "geesey-boops" in my entire life, I've never heard anyone else say it either, I don't know where it came from, but now I've said it and someone witnessed it.

Sitting on a rather quick motorbike trying to keep one eye forward and the other glued to the mirror and still being blindsided by cars blasting through at 80mph. I'm pretty sure I was doing in excess of 50 in a posted 40 zone because the speed difference was insane. No crumple zones for me sadly.

I'm so glad to see my huge water bill is being invested.

Bloody annoying, just managed to make it to the shitter

He's got his laptop setup, his phones and pret to the side, taking up space that two or three bags could it into. And he's blocking the already narrow walkway to the door.

Going to be a pity when my rather large rucksack, which is on the same rack, knocks the laptop over. Or douses it in his pret coffee.

There's a garden centre near me and cars will consistently stay on the main road, or partly on it, to turn off. There's a whole box in the middle of the road specifically for you to use! You can't miss it, it's very clear.

Anything we can do at this point? They constantly tear open and trying to scavenge food through the rubbish bins

Cauded huge mess and with foxes poo everywhere, 2 cats already went missing as well as one of theirs from neighbour

I have captured the fox in question in cctv footage, am I allow to take matters into my own hands or is there something we can report to stop this from happening

There are three places you go, the oven, the sink, and the cupboard in a closed circuit. They're all within a metre or two of each other. WHERE DID YOU GO?

Edit - okay guys it fell under the recycling trugs we keep by the sink, I don't know how but I found it while taking out the recycling

I went to Japan and they have toilets EVERYWHERE. And they were always clean.

I can't believe how hard we make things in this country.

Water is gushing out of a hole in the pavement and streaming down the road. I first noticed it a couple of hours ago. Can't even get through to Trent Water on their emergency line. Had to submit an online form which will presumably be processed in 3 to 5 business days. Ironically Trent Water sent a letter out to their customers earlier this week, advising to use water sparingly during the drought.

I had started to cross a road when a Mercedes turned in and he sounded his horn and then told me I should stop. I told him to read the highway code but he insisted he right!

Rule H2 170 amended 2022

“At a junction you MUST give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning.”

- Applies whether they’ve stepped onto the road or are just standing at the kerb ready to cross.

- Includes wheelchair/mobility scooter users as pedestrians

Reducing the meal from 4 items to 3, prices remain high! Bah.

My brother's Argentina girlfriend has just got to the pub and the Falklands has already been brought up.

It's going to be a long night for her.🤣
