Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

'Raid Shadow Legends' adverts on main stream media. Long have we suffered them sponsoring every game related video, blog, podcast etc. But now they have gone mainstream. That Pay-2-win laden piece of **** deserves to burn.

Horrible game, driven buy horrible physiological tactics that have been well honed in the gambling industry. It and the like should be banned.

I hope Goldblum understands what he is advertising and feels suitably ashamed.

Could you please explain a bit further please Wolfie as I'd like to know what these tactics are as I play this game most days and do find it addictive.

Mind you, that applies every year..
The whole thing is a nonsense anyway.

"Here's a pointless trinket that means nothing so that the public can see famous people kneeling before the Monarchy" is what it's all about.

Was due to have a minor procedure this morning - just a routine investigation, nothing to worry about - and I've woken up all snotty with a sore throat. Negative LFT, and had a negative PCR yesterday too - but the hospital have postponed because of my symptoms.

It's not to do with Covid apparently, they don't want to put me under with a cold. Still frustrating nonetheless as it's the second postponement of it.

I broke the lid of my toilet seat at weekend just by sitting down on it... I weigh a modest 11 stone before the jokes start.

Having emailed the makers, I have been told it is purely decorative, not to be sat on and so not carried by the guarantee. A replacement, if I was to buy a like for like, £110. £160 for a soft close one. :crylol:

I see where they are going with it in the wording to try and snake out of it as they call it a WC seat & cover. But this bull**** isn't it? I've never come across a toilet I couldn't sit on when the 'cover' was down. Especially one that costs so bloody much.

Tell me about it! I was rather shocked myself. When I do get a replacement it won't be an original.

Also when I say broke it, I mean it cracked straight down the middle instantly.

They're trying it on there, the clue is in the name "seat", i.e it is for sitting. It's not called just a "cover".

How old is it? They may be obligated to attempt a repair under the consumer goods act 2015, if said act applies to khazis.

They'll blag it and say the top bit is a toilet seat cover. The bottom bit (quite literally the bottom bit!) is where you sit. That's the seat, and that's what they'll say.

TBH, anyone that pays 100 notes for a bog-seat deserves everything they get :winker:

WC Seat & Cover is their name for it. Probably 6 years now, so a bit of a stretch but I am thinking what to argue back because I simply didn't like their response. It's ridiculous, where am I meant to sit to cut my toe nails? :crylol:

I'm with you there, it came with the house though unfortunately and for 100 notes you get no soft close and a new feature that I wasn't aware of on toilet seats, quick release! :grin:

I'm convinced they build these new houses with all these fancy '*luxury*' products knowing full well the quality on most is crap and they can charge you extortionate fees to fix them. Case and point, about 3 months after we moved in the shower over the bath went. b*stard thing was made by Aqualisa.
