Quintus 6,560 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 On my Android. It seems to have started after the last board update. If I type anywhere else online it's fine.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Low grade Samsung rubbish!

Quintus 6,560 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I was thinking about Samsung phones the other day though actually and resolved to get the latest Nexus handset next refresh, get the purest form of Google's OS in a slightly smaller handset to what I have now... but then I remembered you can't expand the memory. Hmm, it's a first world dilemma!Oops, wrong thread. My bad.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Who needs expandable memory? Apple was very smart to never include that option on their fine range of phones! Has Android gotten rid of that pesky system that doesnt allow most apps to run from an external card?
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I believe so, yes. I find the Micro SD option extremely useful, especially for media. It's a deal breaker for me.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Ive never really used my phone as a media player It's an Internet machine that i occasionally use to make calls with.
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Well, considering iPhones are probably the most useless phones on the market when it comes to media that's no surprise. I watch movies, tv and a LOT of YouTube on my phone. Plays whatever I throw at it, downloads torrents using the UTorrent app and easy to share media files with other non Apple devices around the house or at work. For that reason Androids are the ultimate smartphone multimedia devices.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I never watched much media on my HTC either.I have 2 bigscreen TV's
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I sometimes have time to kill while not at home which is when it comes in handy.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Prometheus believes people who are in a band should not have any qualifications.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Professor Brian Cox. Can't stand that twat.Not agreeing or disagreeing - but, why?I just find him really smug and condescending. He's up there with Piers Morgan, David Mitchell and Victoria Coren in Brits who break the smug-o-meter. They all deserve a Holiday in Cambodia, or to be more current, Syria, Sudan or the Crimea. So you been to schoolFor a year or twoAnd you know you've seen it allIn daddy's carThinkin' you'll go farBack east your type don't crawl
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,263 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Peep Show David Mitchell or the author?Never mind - I've been corrected by a Brit. Didn't know this Coren was his wife.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I don't mind him on The Peep Show or The Mitchell and Webb Look - it's when he steps out of character I find him insufferable.
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I don't mind Cox. His enthusiasm is undeniable and he speaks about the known universe in a way which makes it accessible to my layman brain, often using very down to earth comparisons.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Mr. shark hates smart people and toffs.
Sweeping Strings 3,446 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Out of those you mentioned we agree on Piers Morgan, Sharky. Considerable amusement this end when I heard he'd been axed from his CNN show.

Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 It means television is getting more and more dumbed down.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 No, Sir David Attenborough's still rocking on.

Datameister 2,587 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I think the top item on my list of pet peeves must be chewing with one's mouth open - more for the sound than for the sight. Can't stand the smacking and slurping. Sir Hilary Bray 1
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Yeah, and slurpers of tea and cereal! They should all be destroyed.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Thick-as-pigshit drivers who accelerate and overtake you, only to end up at traffic lights about 20 yards ahead.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Thick-as-pigshit drivers who accelerate and overtake you, only to end up at traffic lights about 20 yards ahead. vaguely similar today with myself on my bike out in the sticks after six months off the thing and overtaken by this new VW Beetle grazing my elbow with his side-view mirror. I wish I could say I caught up at lights.
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Excruciatingly slow accelerators and dawdlers who cause tailbacks and leave drivers behind with no option but to overtake within tiny windows of opportunity out of sheer desperation to get to a destination that same day.Lee - got his new car last Tuesday and has been beating the lights.

Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I bet you're the sort of driver who does 30 in a 60 zone.There's a difference between driving in a hurry and using the road efficiently. About ten minutes worth, which on my way to work is the difference between nabbing a parking space or not.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I bet you're the sort of driver who does 30 in a 60 zone. I drive a Kawasaki BN 125A7F 124cc and do 60 or 70 on the M11 or whatever when I need to. But for driving around London? Sure, you don't want to dawdle. I'm no fan of hesitant learners or eldery drivers stick to 15mph either, but that's not excuse for doing the opposite either. There's a difference between driving in a hurry and using the road efficiently. About ten minutes worth, which on my way to work is the difference between nabbing a parking space or not. Dunno how you drive, Lee. Just talking at cross-purposes here. I was referring to twats who use their car/bike as extensions of their manhood, and go from 0 to 60 just to show off. The Top Gear generation.
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 So you get overtaken by cars on your BIKE? Oh god you're my worst nightmare! Learner drivers I have plenty of patience for and I'll back off for them. We've all been there, after all.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 So you get overtaken by cars on your BIKE? Oh god you're my worst nightmare!Sports cars.
Quintus 6,560 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I don't know London drivers but I'm still struggling to see that as a good excuse! Bikers pretty much have full reign of the road, normally.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Not always in London. Depending where you are though. I find sports cars in London a bit funny, in places like Knightsbridge where you're not exactly likely to burn rubber. Quicker to walk.
Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I don't know London drivers but I'm still struggling to see that as a good excuse! Bikers pretty much have full reign of the road, normally.Normally, but as I said, there's the occasional bellend who thinks he's always got right of way. Especially round Hackney, where there's plenty of crackheads, gang members and teen racers.

KK 3,313 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 That's my roommate. And boy does he snore LOUD. He's woken me up at 4 in the morning a couple of times with just that. Terrible.
Glóin the Dark 1,876 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Incredibly annoying when you're trying to sleep, and weirdly comical when you're not...
