AVFC_Hitz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I hate it when people call me via WhatsApp or Facebook. To the point where I won't answer. Call me via phone and then we can talk. Pfft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do it myself, but I received a few WhatsApp voice calls from mates, but they were short ones, and I can't say I noticed the quality. My three year old granddaughter frequently video calls me on WhatsApp though! That's the future, right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2019 Always use WhatsApp to call when I'm at home if possible as the phone reception in my flat is terrible (for all networks it would seem. Think we're in a bit of a black spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Every so often we have our American cousins come into the business over here. Why do they all insist on wearing such poorly fitted, baggy suits? Is it style or ignorance. One day I might say something and find myself out of a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presenter is discussing a 1965 set of Rolling Stones autographs, claiming that they are his favourite band. So he explains that "Brian Jones left in 1969, and was replaced by Ronnie Wood". Sack him. Brian Jones used to play a Vox Phantom guitar, quite unusual at the time. But I expect you all knew that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Went in Asda this morning, as usual it's full of tracksuit-wearing scum with kids who should be at school. Now they've taken to peeling the wrappers off the Cadbury creme eggs to see if there's a white one inside, and just leaving them in the display. Mongs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they all insist on wearing such poorly fitted, baggy suits? Is it style or ignorance. One day I might say something and find myself out of a job. It's to do with historical suit making methods. The American suit making industry followed an old fashioned and simpler method of making a suit, which meant they could produce more product faster, with the added benefit of the style being baggy meaning you produce less size variations. That then meant that the 'image' of a suit became the baggy look for America, and it stuck. It's only in modern times that the world has become smaller and we see other cultures fashion and so it's likely the baggy suit will die out when America realises everyone else thinks their suits look shit. There's variations across the world in 'cuts' of clothes, interestingly it's even been important in warfare. In the Second World War Allied spies would be given clothes either smuggled out of Europe or specifically designed to look like continental designs, as someone paying attention could spot that a suit for instance was British just by the design of the lapel or how the collar on his shirt was cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) In TV or Film when they obviously want to set up that someone is unexpectedly good at pool - usually it ends up being a woman, a bit sexistly I suppose, and then they cut to action scenes which sees them potting 3 balls all hovering right over the edge of the pocket being literally unmissable. I mean for **** sake, A blind hedgehog in a bag could pot those balls. Do something challenging, get that actor to **** swerve it round a few balls with a tight angle nick. clearings in the woods.
