Just as well I greened up my pre-match trades. Goes in-play after the first goal!

Edit: ...for a few seconds and suspended again. :roll:

Neighbours have finally chucked out their Christmas tree.....and dump it in the front garden!

Addition: Spilt some rice on my kitchen worktop and floor a few days ago, and no matter how much cleaning and hoovering I do, grains of rice keep appearing. They must be breeding!

Accidentally played the wrong playlist on YouTube music, 100 songs. No way to delete the play queue, you have to delete them one by one, or sign out and back in again. What arseholes!

And now when you hover over a recommended vid it starts previewing and it gets added to your history. You can disable the preview but there's no way to enable previews and not have them added to the history.

YouTube play lists have always been rubbish, you can't even share them without the sharee (?) being given the rights to change them.

Worst thing though is adverts between every video and even during any mix/remix that lasts more than about 7 mins!

And a bigger rant..... Disturbing charity ads on daytime TV.

Pre watershed you can't use mild swear words but it's OK to have endless cinematic ads showing distressed donkeys/bears/dogs/cats/ill children. I'm not simple, I don't need to see a kid covered in flys at lunchtime to have empathy.

Let's make it 3... Android TVs.

I'm having to return my 3rd Sony telly in 3 years because the software has become so buggy. Yes I've done factory resets, reformatted the HDD, cleared app cache etc (and done the hours it takes to set it up again.) The telly has got a perfect picture, but will probably go to landfill because the software is crap. All I want is channel up/down, vol, brightness, contrast, recording and a chromecast button. I don't want to wait a minute for it to change channel or make its own decisions about which recordings to do or ignore. Every piece of tech these days sounds great but doesn't actually work! And how the hell do you return a big TV with no packaging!! Gone are the days when a man came and swapped it for you, now I seem to work as an unpaid member of Sony's returns dept!!!

I think it's time for the nurse to bring my tablets.

What's wrong with kicking a cat across the floor of a £2M house? It's not as if he's living in a £150K house!

Haven't been able to bring myself to find the offending video. It's quite a baffling news story from several aspects.
Why would you do that?
Why would a mult-millionaire having earned such a privileged position do that?
Why would your brother stitch you up by leaking (by accident or design) such a damaging video?
I'm actually not a cat person, but that behaviour is staggering and it seems to have been accepted as a bit naughty.
It's bloody awful, why aren't the media screaming about it?

Little wonder that animal cruelty is so rife when the police can be gift wrapped a video like that and decide to do nothing about it, great message to send. I haven't seen the video either and i wouldn't want to see it but according to what I've read he booted the poor animal out of his hands like a goalkeeper launching a long ball up field.

Not surprising really. Look how quiet they've been about Mason Greenwood (soon to be Mason Wormwood-Scrubs). I understand there's an investigation ongoing but when that broke they barely mentioned it.
