Mark Albrighton Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2016 Adverts which have information accompanying their product saying things like "65 out of 76 people agreed" or "88% of 92 people said they noticed an improvement". Why can't they find a few more people to round it up to a hundred? Probably a weird quirk of mine but I only like percentage figures when the raw data is equal to or greater than 100. Seems more valid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2016 When you're driving towards another car, and you pull over or stop to let them through, and even though you've clearly stopped/pulled over/flashed your lights/all of the above, they then stop themselves to let you through. You're wasting both of our time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all very well but it doesn't help my mathematical OCD twitching when I see these adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Designer1 Posted May 19, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2016 He's not exactly a 'mate' really is he? Sorry Ruge, but he sounds like the type you need to cut out if you ever want to sort yourself out long term. Easy for me to say of course and I know it's not easy. Just my tuppence bit of advice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Embrace the VT, Ruge. Not sure who these shites are, but they don't seem to care anywhere near as much as we do. You don't need mates who just want you to keep on **** yourself over to make them feel better about their own vices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 tbf hes a good lad and although we are best mates we very rarely go out drinking together which is weird. we go out for meals and family get togethers but we rarely socialise in the pub together. sometimes we go weeks without contact but we still class ourselves as best mates which is a sign of good friendship i think. hes tried helping me in the past and hes normally very supportive but it just weren't sinking in tonight.

Phumfeinz Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Don't really class any of my friends as 'best' or not. Just 'friends I've known longest'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of mice in my shed last year. They could not resist melted chocolate on the traps. Sorted them out in a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 May I suggest the 'Mouse-away 3000' by Xia Industries. Rent two for a week, put them either end of the attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate worked a treat on the mice I had that time. Problem was the traps I had were rubbish. I used to pop out every hour and they'd been and they'd nibbled the chocolate away but managed to evade capture. I got them in the end though.

You know the one, the guy who gets up at 4am to turn the skybox on because he doesn't trust it to leave it on overnight. That one. His latest story is that his son ate a multipack of 12 bags of crisps one after the other right in front of him. When we asked "why didn't you stop him?" he said "He wouldn't let me!" His son is, at most, 18 months old. I couldn't eat 12 packets of crisps and I weight about 15 stone! Report him to social services! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
