TV / Movies / Re: Trailers that make it unnecessary to watch the show
« Last post by smokester on Today at 01:17:04 PM »
I actually feel this way about all trailers. I hardly ever watch one to the end as if I think it's worth a watch after the first 10 seconds or so, I immediately bail on the trailer so I don't glean too much from it.

That's funny!

I asked Siri for directions somewhere the other day and he threw in a helpful comment -- "speed camera detected."  Usually I find this Apple robot nearly useless, but in that moment he totally redeemed himself.  (I selected the male voice with British accent).  I believe there are apps that can function like radar detectors and need to do a little digging to upgrade this aspect of the navigation.  This town has multiple speed cameras that work weekdays from 8 - 6, so I'd like to know where to avoid them, having recently paid the price for my unawareness.

Google maps notifies you of every speed cam whilst you're driving. The problem is, nowadays they are "average speed check" cameras so slowing down just before one is of no benefit whatsoever.

British people are like coconuts. Hard on the outside but sweet once you crack us. Also often found full of alcohol and holding an umbrella.

Day 8. Still no sign.

This is getting silly.

Let's hope it's taking so long as they're taking special care and attention.

To get that circlip out that they dropped in the block.

Two aerials meet on a roof – fall in love – get married.  The ceremony was rubbish – but the reception was brilliant.

A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve food here.”

Better check the odometer when you get it back.

Ha!  That reminds me of a similar plot from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  The mechanics took the kids' dad's Ferrari for quite the ride.  The velocity is in kph
The kids propped it up and tried running it in reverse to get the odometer to reverse.  The results were catastrophic of course.

Hallmark.

Ha!  or some marketing company.

I am contemplating a turkey sandwich.  Not exciting in the least, but it's what's in the fridge.
