In the old days when the internet was young, smaller and not dominated by corporates, you could Google practically any word and one of the first things you'd see would be a dictionary definition. This would be followed by other interesting and useful information about the subject. In those days a simple internet search was (or at least, could be) an education.
Nowadays, no matter how obscure your chosen word, the returned search will almost certainly be the name of some company, product or brand. Searching the internet is no longer educational, it's just unwanted window shopping.
Try define: word.
Cheers Canters, I always go for the more downmarket 'meaning' myself. Does the trick if it's a definition I want, but does nothing to replace the spontaneous learning that's been lost through corporatisation.
The complete fuckwit contestants who can't answer the easiest questions ever on Tipping Point. You wonder how they even get dressed in the morning and live
So called experts convince members of the public to buy a load of old toot. Then, when it goes to auction, it always makes a loss. The team that have lost the least is then declared the winner & everyone celebrates like they've just won the world cup.
Awful show!
TV license fee probably paying for all that old toot aswell!

Have to agree. It seems the object of the show is to be the team that loses the least amount of money........OUR money. We fund this programme.

I remember a contestant on The Chase. The question was, Which of these vocalists was the lead singer in The Commodores? A. Lionel Richie B. Marvin Gaye C. Stevie Wonder. She pressed for Stevie Wonder and said, 'I've never heard any of them.'
I’m sitting on Capobino beach near Marbella, lovely day, a few cold beers, chilled out, bloody lovely......UNTIL..... the beach bar DJ fires up the PA and starts playing a load of old moronic DOF DOF DOF noises masquerading as music, while trying to sound hip and cool! Why? If I want to hear such shit I’ll go to a club. It’s a beach FFS. What was amusing was the amount of people who reached for their earphones as soon is this insult to music started playing records to us! Toss rag!

Like practically everything else on ITV it is specifically designed to make thick people feel better about their lives as they can laugh at even thicker people. Best avoided if at all possible.
Paul Ince on the radio. Not only is he totally devoid of insight, his distion is abysmal - he doesnt even pronounce the first 'n' in Man United, clearly his very favourite phrase.

Maybe this should go on the getting old thread, but why aren't rescue dogs called rescued dogs?
I was casually listening to the tv when they announced that Gizmo the rescue dog had been carried off by a seagull. My brain immediately (well quite quickly) formed an image of a St Bernard/Alsatian being wafted away by a giant seagull. A glance up revealed that Gizmo was basically a short eared rabbit. My next thought was, what on earth does he rescue?
Anyway I hope that Gizmo is safe and gets rescue again.
Getting up at 03.30 to exercise my dogs only for all of them to as good as say, you can feck off have you seen the time. Then not being able to to return to sleep myself. 😩🐕

When reading a book it really annoys me when an asterisk or number appears somewhere in the sentence or paragraph.
Which means I either ignore it but wonder if I’ve missed something intrinsic or I spend my whole time continually looking them up in the appendix and so continually losing my concentration on what’s being read!
The current book I’m reading is littered with them!😾
That there's currently a thread facilitating CL's military strategists, Middle East historians and the many apparent members of the diplomatic core ongoing on the main site. But if you want to discuss the floppy haired, lying, twonk about to be announced as the man to sort it out you're shuffled off to the backwaters of the site where you're not even allowed to quote each other.
I'm so furious might even ask for my money back...
As I couldn’t find the “general things you find pretty fucking minging” thread, it’s going on here.
people taking their tops off on busy train journeys, can barely move on my train tonight and you have people pressed up against top less sweaty fuckers.

Why men in general find it necessary to take their tops of when the temperature rises above 21*C. You see them here on Sunday mornings wandering around the market! Quite puts me off my aperitif!
