Jams Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 That’s shite! Does the fire stick support captive portals then? I always assumed it wouldn’t so didn’t tryApologies mate I don't know what your on about. But o will say it's worked very well previously!

Kiltox Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You know when it prompts you to log in when you connect to the WiFi? So that they can charge you/make sure you’ve paid? That’s a captive portal. Lots of devices won’t load it properly so you can’t connect them to public WiFi like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I've absolutely no idea. Maybe UK Payments or the British Bankers Assoc would know. All I can remember was initially some banks had ridiculously low limits on FPS and thus went via BACS. Back when I was a a student, the Chinese takeaway over the road from my flat used to take at least 10 days to cash a cheque... Kiltox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Talking of BACS transfers, it's taken the warranty company since 23rd of march to transfer the £600 they owe me. I've emailed them 3 times a week since I submitted receipts and account details. Useless arseholes. If I'd have needed that money id have been even more pissed off than I already am.

dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 How 'special' do you have to be to think littering is acceptable? Collected all this on a short walk around the village. A neighbour collected a similar amount last night. It's just so pathetically stupid. I mean, do we need to teach this in schools? Is it too difficult for people to comprehend that it isn't a good idea, isn't respectful? Who do they think is going to tidy it up? It's almost as bad as people who think spitting chewing gum into a urinal is acceptable.

dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's incredibly annoying, despise the lazy bastards that do this. When we were in Bath, we went to Morrisons, got back to the car, and watched some dozy arsehole in a signwritten van chuck his lolly wrapper out of the window. He just drove off quickly enough for be to abort shoving it back in his stupid face. Didn't have my phone with me, so despite trying to desperately remember the name of the company, I failed. TWAT.

danthecapriman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 A while ago I was doing a night job on a motorway style services site. I was working in the substation in the middle of the car park.You’d be surprised at how many people parked up, staggered over to McDonald’s and sat in their car stuffing their fat greasy faces.Once finished they open the window and all of the wrappers came out all over the floor! It’s absolutely blatant too. They do not give a shit about doing it or even if anyone’s watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's bad on trains too. I walk up and down them all day (paid to do it, not being weird) and people live neat little reminders they sat there with sandwich boxes, coffee cups, used napkins, wrappers, drinks bottles...you name it. not like there's loads of bins up and down the train or anything. Yeah I know it's hard to bin stuff when the train is crowded but when it's 12 coaches of air and you, you have no excuses. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Round here most of the rubbish is caused by the bin men being lazy and dropping stuff out of the boxes and not picking it up. Luckily most of the homeowners tend to clean up after them though. The other annoying thing is the professional dog walker who dumps a carrier bag of dog shit by the dog shit bin because it gets filled before its due to be emptied. Probably due to him using it to get rid of the crap from his clients. Crispian_J_Hotson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 How much of it is passive listening? With RAJAR? Very, very little. People will only fill in what they consciously listened to. I doubt very much people tick a box because it was on in the newsagent or someone had it on in another part of the office. Wow. Radio 2 has a massive market share. What a surprise. You could put anyone on there and they would have massive market share. Are you really saying no one in the past 30 years has done enough to replace him? No, I was dealing directly and specifically with a factual inaccuracy in your post. People aren't turning off, quite the opposite. I made no comment at all about the succession plan of Radio 2, or how long SW has been there. None whatsoever.

dollywobbler Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It is one of the sad facts of life, that Steve Wright is somehow popular. In the same way that I'll never understand how Mrs Brown's Boys could ever be regarded as comedy. I've pretty much given up on Radio 2 now. Even Ken Bruce is a bit much. 155V6, Lord Sterling, D Spares & Tyres and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
