Chindie Posted November 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2021 Lara = / = Laura A particular bone of contention for anyone that's listened to American games media. Whenever a Tomb Raider game comes out inevitably there's going to be the car crash of Lara becoming Laura... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKEA don't actually deliver do they? I thought it was an Independent company that pays for the franchise in each store ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted November 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2021 Asda delivery. Been trying out all the various grocery home delivery options. This occasion it was Asda. Delivery due Weds 8-10pm. 1005pm No delivery, yet marked as delivered on their website. Went outside to see if there was an Asda van wandering around lost, but no. Called them up about and asked what was going on. Was told to wait up until 11 and it would be delivered. I went to bed to read. 1105pm no delivery, so I called them again. Lines close at 1100pm. Thursday late afternoon I call to ask them politely what the **** is going on. Can barely hear the girl on the end of the line, so ask her to turn her mic up a bit. Click. Cut off. Call back. Ask them why it's marked as delivered when it hasn't been. They raise an 'urgent' query. Today at lunch time I leave my house for the first time in several days. This is what I find on my doorstep. How long has it been there? 24 hours? Longer? Who knows? It's a mystery. Needless to say all the frozen food is thawed out. **** useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the cost for delivery is high because IKEA aren't delivering themselves. You are engaging a completely different company to IKEA to deliver IKEAs products, the contract is between you and the other company, not IKEA.

I don't even know what he is (only learned his name yesterday) but I keep seeing images of him everywhere and for some reason I've taken a dislike to him. Nah, I judge the words removed who go in there, but I take my hat off to the man for selling something idiots want to buy at an exorbitant price. Why not do that if people are willing to trip over each other to hand you their hard earned? Go for it I sae. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked someone once how to make s’mores when in the states cause we had had some and we’re staying in a place with a BBQ so wanted to do our own. Went to the shop spent ages looking for Gram crackers, no joy. Settled on Graham crackers as they looked similar. Was watching a cooking show on Netflix called Chef’s Table. It was American but one of the chefs was a Scottish guy called Graham. For about half of the 1st episode the presenter made a conscious effort to pronounce it properly but this very quickly deteriorated to the norm for the rest of the series.

mjmooney Posted November 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2021 News item repetition. Especially if it's something from your local region that's made national news. Case in point tonight - the Yorkshire CC racism row. BBC 6 o'clock news opens with a 'headline' soundbite from an interview with the chief exec. Then we get the interview itself. Then a trailer for the local Yorkshire news, featuring the same topic. Then at 6.30 the local news comes on - soundbite again, then the interview again. We've already seen it, cover some other topic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I occasionally check out local news then wish I hadn't bothered, and ignore it for a few months. On today's front page. They're trying so hard to write clickbait, but it just doesn't work for some reason, can't put my finger on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
