I hate

Oh, and Doncaster. Absolute fucking shithole

As someone who spent his teenage years growing up there i would have to agree, although I haven't been back in over 15 years so was hoping it might have got better?

Yeah, but no, but - bikes on Eurostar is a total non-service. Jokes.

It's been maybe 10 years but I've taken my bike on Eurostar though it had to be checked into the large item office. Has that changed?

Anyone got any idea if they accept cargo bikes?

It ahs totally changed and is now functionally impossible.

UTFS on here and Guardian for more details.

It's one of the things in the modern world that really pisses me off. I'm sure it's due, at least in part, to fucking Brexit.

If you really want to take a cargo bike, you could perhaps use the Eurotunnel service that takes the bike on a trailer and puts you on a minibus. But, reports on here from users that have done this tell us that it takes circa 5 hours to complete the journey and accompoanying faff.

Take the boat instead.

Or convert to pedalo.

Fully agree. Alas my flights are already booked.

Sadly not. It’s stagnated at best.

Jamie Oliver. Muggy little grifting cunt. Always with the philanthropic campaigns from which he gets to sell his shit books off the back of.

That's not even his worst/ most offensive song.

Ridiculous shit in the supermarket.
Toothbrush handle with replaceable heads. Seems like a perfectly reasonable product. Except that a replacement heads are £8 for 2, but you can buy the metal handle and 2 heads for £4.50.

So you either save cash but create more waste and buy the handles, or waste money and buy just the heads. But that’s all ignoring that paying £4 for just the end bit of a toothbrush is mental.

Also iPhones constantly autocorrecting “bit of” to “but if”, and the confusion it leads to when the message no longer makes sense.

There is a company that makes oral B electric heads. You get a box of them that's postable, then you send them back the heads and they recycle them.

That sounds good - I’ll look into it!

Potatoes seem to almost always cost more for a small bag than a big bag in the supermarket.

“But if” is one of those autocorrects that makes me put my phone down and do something else. Along with well->we’ll

It’s the phone “knowing what you meant” while also making completely incoherent sentences. Might as well just chuck the whole of iPhone autocorrect in here.
For some reason it regularly thinks I want to type “tht” instead of “that”. Remembering my typos really isn’t that helpful.

Pretty sure you can remove them from your dictionary, on gboard you just long press the suggestion.

I have never in my life had auto-correct/word prediction activated on anything

I cood knot live withoot it.

@zeebrugge I don't see the problem

Why is it you can get every letter of a long word correct except the first (because you typed an adjacent key) and auto correct hasn’t got a clue?

Getting charged the cost of a pint of lager for a lager shandy, it’s half lemonade should really only get charged for a fucking half of beer.

Fools game, but order a half of lager, a half of lemonade and a pint of tap water.

Drink the water and mix the shandy.

Plus, bonus hydration!
