Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@nessisonett if it makes you feel any better, I bought some size small click seal bags from tesco based on previous experience. The bags that arrived are much smaller than the ones I had before. Same product, same size, now 50% smaller?!?

@ralphdibny Smaller one says "snack bags". Bigger one says "food bags".

@TheIdleCritic there you go! Appreciate that, now I know what to look for when I do my next order! Still though, I feel like it's an easy mistake to make when snacks are food and most of the food I eat is "snacks" 😂

@ralphdibny I love how the larger bags use cucumber slices as the example, as if they’re really that much larger that they require a huge freezer bag 😂

@nessisonett lol yeah I've seen some massive walnuts and some tinchy cucumbers in my time

Edit, this sounds like a euphemism 😂

@ralphdibny

@nessisonett Did you get your refund in the end? Do you think you will get your PS5 from a store like Smyths now?

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Yo, have you read my reply toward you just now ?

@Anti-Matter Just stop harassing other people. If they choose to ignore you, so be it. Spamming them isn't going to be of any help.

@Octane
I didn't mean to harass him.
I just want to have some conversation with him.
I guess everybody here hates me because i'm different, unlike majority users here.

I just ate the last chocolate hobnob in the building, no biscuits remaining.

Just been tasked with finding a mobile phone for my wife. Requirements: not an iPhone, headphone port, good battery, not stupidly big. Decent camera. Any recommendations?

@LieutenantFatman What's your budget?

I'm an iPhone man but the One Plus series always seems to get glowing reviews for Android at mid ranger prices (around £500-600 I think). The latest Samsung Galaxy model also seems to be highly regarded but with a premium price tag.

I picked up the newer iPhone SE model myself at the end of last year after my iPhone 6 went kaput and that's been brilliant for me.

@Anti-Matter You can't force a conversation. If they don't want to talk, just move on.

Nobody hates you, but you do get rather upset when talking about games and something like Dark Souls gets mentioned. That happens in a conversation on an online forum. But if you go on a tirade about how you hate those games every time they get mentioned, yeah, people will avoid you. So it helps to just remain calm and show interest in other people's gaming tastes, that goes a long way, and accept that other people may like other types of games you are not into.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I’ve sent off for it, just need to wait until hopefully tomorrow when I hear back!

@Thrillho
Might go for Samsung Galaxy as you say but a 2019 model. Phones often drop in price relatively quickly when newer flagship phones in the same range are released. The S10+ looks pretty good and it keeps the phone jack which is always good news.

@Arugula
Lack of a phone jack might be a deal breaker if it was for me, but I will recommend it to my wife, thanks!

@Arugula Snap! I have the same phone @LieutenantFatman and can recommend it also, but it has no heaphone socket. I got free wireless ear buds with it though as well as 6 months free of Disney+ through O2. Not sure if the D+ offer is still going, but the wireless earbuds should still be going.

@LieutenantFatman You should look at Xiaomi phones. I swear by them. Made my aunt, and a friend buy one too. Great phones.

And there we go, got the email from eBay there to say that I’m officially due a full refund. The seller has 5 days to organise a return, in which he would pay for me to ship him an A4 sheet of paper the length of the country and then I’ll be refunded or they’ll just take the money off him anyway. I did like the fact that the customer support person said that the seller ‘constantly misled me’ like dang, don’t pull those punches. Got to love the fact that I now have to wait another 5 days for the refund to be issued and then wait for it to be credited into my account though, there’s so many stages that you just get funnelled through which take a couple of days each.
