Not annoyed, saddened, but no suitable other places. Fatal OD of an overseas 20 year old clanmate for online gaming I knew for 4+ years.

Geektastic: Being part of the Lost Generation.

Every issue is framed as some kind of argument between millennials and baby boomers. Between those, sits a whole Generation X that is completely ignored.

After pondering this for a day, I’ve decided you are correct.

So I would suggest that Boomers and Millenials should look inwards and blame Gen-X for everything!😬

Waiting in the throng for the ferry in the evenings, and a few people don't wear any masks. They wait until right before they set foot into the ferry itself before they mask up. They are basically juts as close while waiting as they will be when seated.

Watching the Big Bang Theory (don't judge me) last evening TV 2 and the advert frequency was ridiculous. I timed it for a bit and there would be around 1.5 to 2 minutes of programme then 5 to seven minutes of advertisements.

I thought American sitcoms were set to run 22 minutes allowing for 8 minutes of ads. Was the total runtime greater than 30 minutes? I do judge you for watching TBBT, it just shows you have good taste!

I don't judge you for that - but it is on Netflix NZ, all 12 seasons.

My SO sometimes calls me Sheldon. I really don't know if that's an insult or a compliment, so perhaps she's right.

I’m sure the quantity of adverts on tv have got really bad lately. The number of times I’ve turned the telly on to catch some news while eating breakfast only to find every channel crammed just puts me right off. I’m certainly watching it less n less because of this.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Due to major roadworks in my area for new cycleways, we are now a major detour route for a few weeks.... our Street is barely wide enough for a vehicle to get down if cars are parked on each side.

Continuous queue past my place since before 3pm....and still cars as far as you can see!

Looks ok on paper - reality is something else!

You've got the perspective wrong, the 5-7 minutes of stuff you're seeing is broadcast TV content. The brief 1.5-2 minute interludes between the content is bait.

Watching anything on TV from 5-7 Pm is asking to be subjected to a horrendous form of abuse. Just don't do it.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Wikipedia really ought to get a native English speaker to write their begging letters.

"Recently" may have only been 2nds ago. Was that the reason for your complaint?

After replacing the clutch on my SO's MX5, it's leaking coolant - only when stone cold - not a drop when hot. This did my head in - but I've sorted the problem.
