    My iPhone 4S's battery life is rubbish, it can only survive about 8 hours of constantly playing Angry Birds and snapping HD videos of my friends.
    IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT :(

    Thought this post was a piss-take. Sad face in the title n' all... :pac:
    Is it intentional that the ads have started playing sound/ music/ talking at us now? Really doesn't work with any kind of attempt at being discrete about using boards in work if the PC is going to start playing audio adverts at me unexpectedly.

    Brain Freeze when eating ice cream or smoothie

    Or when you are using a crappy spoon and it bends or breaks because the ice cream is too hard.

    You do realise an awful lot of people in the developing world have the exact same "problems" as most that have just posted, right?

    For some reason samsung never put volume buttons on my laptop or gave a remote with it. My old Packard bell had both of these and I find it very annoying having to switch from full screen when watching something to turn the volume up and down.

    The beef burger I had for dinner in a restaurant last night was a bit mis-shaped. Tasted fine but looked a bit odd.

    The worst thing in the world ever just happened.

    Now I have to watch the ads & I cant FF through the crappy bits.

    Why can't they just give me the rock bottom price online.

    Yeah -there should be a website where you post your stats and what you want to insure and then the Insurance companies bid to give YOU the best deal they can. You could then pick the offer you like best. Someone bright go off and do this, thanks.:D

    My sky box takes approximately 60-80 seconds to fully work when switched on at the plug.

    Pain in the arse when you want to watch something and you have to wait that long for it to get going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 778 ✭✭✭jessiejam


    Having to choose which program not to record, when there are 2 things recording but I am watching something else.
    Damn sky plus box.

    Having to delete recorded programs I haven't yet watched cause there is only 4% remaining. Why didn't they make the memory bigger!!!
