A photo of Japanese macaque was on Pointless Celebrities tonight doing that very thing! Coincidence?Try pretending you're one of those Japanese macaques by waiting until it's snowing and pouring yourself a red hot bath with the window wide open. Put pieces of fruit around the edge of the bath for the full experience.
Uncanny. I should write in to Fortean Times if I were you.A photo of Japanese macaque was on Pointless Celebrities tonight doing that very thing! Coincidence?
Oddly enough, a British You Tuber - Chris Broad in Abroad in Japan - recently visited those very springs ... and there wasn't a monkey to be seen, much to his disappointment.
Handy for the munchies!Only £2 in ASDA, it's labelled a 'Studio Box', can be found alongside the large storage containers with lids and is large enough to keep your remote controls plus other essentials conveniently close at hand.

Yep. My Sony Bravia has an app which I put on my phone.I'm told there are phone apps to control TVs
I have always been wary of apps that control/open things in the house/car, it's not unusual for me to lose/break/mislay phones for one abd what happens if you have a smart house/car which you need your phone to open/operate and you run out of battery or lose your phone? Let alone someone hacking your house/car lockHandy for the munchies!![]()
I've lost track of how many baskets I've set up to keep track of our doofers. Techy fills them with other junk and the doofers slide unnoticed off the sofa and disappear underneath.
He's recently found out how to access Amazon TV on t'Sky box so that's one less tiny fiddly farty doofer to lose.
I'm told there are phone apps to control TVs etc. That'd be fun!
Does your car or t.v have voice control? We use the voice control to make calls and for simple navigation in the cars but I'm not going to talk to the t.v. Our Samsung has a simplified universal remote which it brilliant. Very few buttons and you can control your entire audio/visual setup with it (it also has an app, which we don't use).Yep. My Sony Bravia has an app which I put on my phone.
I've only ever used it the once though as the remote control itself is just easier cos it's got physical buttons to press instead of silly touchscreen buttons.
Which is also why I get annoyed with modern car designs cos they try to put everything on touchscreens but you can't look at a screen when you're driving - the old way of actually being able to feel around for the switch/button was much better.
My TV has a separate remote that will use voice control. I've only used it once. Dunno where it is now.Does your car or t.v have voice control?

Why didnt you turn the duvet cover around so the opening was at the bottom?Back to duvet covers: last year Techy bought me a posh new set. The opening was at the top end so my arms kept getting tangled up in it.
I bought some popper tape and created an opening at the correct end, and sewed up the top end. It's fine now.

Silly scargy........you should have just put the pillows at the other end of the bed and slept with your head at the bottom!The opening was at the top end so my arms kept getting tangled up in it.![]()
Because the elaborate design would then be upside down.Why didnt you turn the duvet cover around so the opening was at the bottom?

I see, seems like the manufacturer may have screwed up by putting the opening at the wrong endBecause the elaborate design would then be upside down.
Also, as I can sew I didn't have to piss about like that!

Yup, this was indeed the case. It was from eBay. Techy had jumped the gun by posting positive feedback before I'd found the problem.I see, seems like the manufacturer may have screwed up by putting the opening at the wrong end
Yeah but you never dump on the noob staff surely?If serving the public is your job, size the customer up as soon as they step into the room. If the first thing they do is either look up at the ceiling or study the corners of the room, they are going to be a pain in the arse so step backwards and pretend you suddenly need to go to the staff toilet and thus cruelly leaving the rookie staff member to deal with the high maintenance bullshit certainly coming. 'They' almost always look at the ceiling or the corners of the room first, I don't know why. A solid tip from uncle Swifty.
I am the noob staff (if you don't count the dozens of places I've worked before). It's good for us. It's not my fault I know the score.Yeah but you never dump on the noob staff surely?

I've wondered if it's the same thing you see on documentaries when police are interviewing someone in the interview room .. when body language experts say if a suspect looks up and to their left, their bullshiting .. so a customers walks in, planning to be a handful for whatever reason and they'll look upwards (or at corners) before they try to approach you.Probably looking for cctv cameras to capture their rant from the most flattering angle
