I was in slow moving traffic earlier and my windows were full of condensation so I rolled down the passenger window to clear it. Just as I did that I clocked eyes with someone I used to go out with, he was walking on the path beside me. He thought I was rolling down the window in order to speak to him so he came over and started talking to me. Awkward small talk and disingenuous exchange of pleasantries ensued.
Ground swallow me moment.

Use your A/C (if you have it) and you'll never run into this issue again :pac:


If you don't have A/C, make sure to use the non-recirculating air in the car, and you shouldn't have unwanted condensation/unwanted conversation

I was walking home from work this evening and there was a queue of traffic. Suddenly I noticed a car window roll down and it was my ex and she started making pointless small talk with me.

Could have been worse, you might have been opening the window as you'd just let a particularly nasty f@rt

Boards is bringing me to the most recent post in threads I follow rather than where I left off last time I was reading. So now I've lost my place. Also it's not letting me into threads unless there's a new post.

Loosing the Legacy setting, I miss the tabs on top, usually when I default to one of my usual forums it reverts back to the old style, it ain't doing it anymore.

Morto!

No wait.. did you mean it Nevers takes you back to where you finished reading but skips to the most recent post?? I don't think that's right. If you finished reading on page 14 of 20, for example, it should bring you back to 14 next time you go into it.

How are you doing this? It always takes me to last post.

Yeah that's whats happening me, unless there's a new post. The only way I could get in was by clicking on the name of the latest poster and then clicking on their posts and then selecting the one in that thread, if you get me!

So do you have to go searching every time for where you left off? That would wreck my head! I don't think it's a setting or anything.. it's just always done that for me. Until this dark day!

Deja Boo

A few times when I checked my stats (to see if I posted in a thread)....... It shows me threads I never even seen before (nor posted in)... the glitch is an odd one this time.

Yes, it never takes me back to where i left off... Always had to click all the back pages to catch up... is tedious, so I don't keep up with wherers thread very well.

Your way sounds ideal!

Why did they mess with the layout. I absolutely hate this and tbh it's putting me off reading and posting. Does anyone know where I can find feedback to ask about this abomination?

pinkyeye

Do you all not just click "view first unread"??

I'm confused. It always brings me back to where I read last when I click that even if I don't follow that thread?

It depends on where you click. If you click on the green circle you'll get to the latest post. If you click on the red circle you'll get to the first unread post.



Is that not still the case for you guys?

I didn't know that either. I use my phone almost exclusively and it just does it automatically when I click a thread. Glad New Home figured that out for you. No more trawling back through posts!

The glitch has stopped for me. Yay!

Better warm than wet. Beats me how the seat in a ladies toilet can have moisture on it :mad:

Apologies for the interruption to both the thread and your use of the site! If these issues are still occurring for you could you start a new thread about it in Site development please and we can ask for whatever other info we might need from you there. Thanks so much

TA when someone interrupts the TA thread with something totally off-topic :eek:

The use of the word 'amount' when the word 'number' should be used.

Well if you stop at your thighs you'll be going around with a big white arse, that's why I do it. Continuity purposes. Makes it look more "natural" :pac:

Well, I suppose there is a reason why they're using fake tan on their backsides... isn't that whole general area called "where the sun doesn't shine"? No sun, no tan, see? :pac::pac:

I like to slather fake tan all over me arse til I'm like Ross out of friends. Makes me feel exotic....

I've a couple of semi-related TAs.

Old Drivers.

I was in Nexttownover during the week when the old guy (guessing early 70s) in the entry level 5 series in front of me drove right out into a roundabout before emergency stopping when he saw the van on his right. At least the guy in the van was paying attention or else he would have been T-boned.

Further down the road someone indicated then stopped to parallel park. The old guy again reacted to this with an emergency stop and almost running into the back of him.

When we got to the next roundabout, he took the right lane. Well, I say he took the right lane - about a fifth of his car was in my lane. Which as it turns out, should have been his lane too, but it's kind of non-standard though clearly marked on the road. Anyway, there was room for me to wait beside him but I'm glad I didn't, because when he took off, he cut right across my lane before going back into his. Before exiting the roundabout he cut back into my lane without indicating.

Later I saw a woman who was probably in her mid 70s stopped in the middle of the road. It turns out she was waiting for some lady in an Almeria to leave a parking space so she could park there. Would have been a tight squeeze for her Quasqhai+2, but I didn't see what happened because when I went out of sight she was still holding up one side of Main Street.

The last lady I'm ranting about was probably in her 80s. She parallel parked a Yaris in a handicapped spot in one go. Mind you, she needed the whole width of the street to do it, almost mounted the far kerb, and never once checked her blind spots. You could have hidden a bull elephant (or a mammy with a pram) from her mirrors. Also didn't have a handicapped sticker.

I'm kind of sympathetic to old people and their car being a life saving bit of independence, but I also like not being held up and/or being in an accident because of them.

Rant two - Short drivers.

I was stuck behind a Waterford reg van the same day who was hogging the overtaking lane (do all Waterford people do that, or do I have observation bias) while some guy in a 3 series was tailgating me. He was so short the only reason his nose was over the steering wheel was because he was driving with his nose in the air. Seriously! If he checked his blind spot, how much could he actually see? The shoulder of the chair was higher than his eye line. His eye line was barely higher than the sill of the side windows. How much could he actually see? And if his airbag goes off I think he's mostly getting it in the teeth.

I think we need mandatory booster seats for short people.

Blitzkrieger

Holy rip off, Batman!

I was just doing some online shopping and found what I wanted available to reserve and collect for a good price, but did some price comparison just in case. It was €400 more expensive at a leading chemist that also has an online store! FOUR HUNDRED! yellandsell.ie only had an inferior model but they were €100 more expensive.

For fairness sake I'll add that yellandsell.ie saved me €80 on my last microwave, so it's not all overpriced inferior crap that they sell, and that other site probably has good deals on other items, but it shows how important shopping around is....
