It's criminal to call it Soccer in the UK! You should be taken outside and tied to the goal posts! Lol

Its 19th Century comes from Assoc and er
Assoc is abbreviated for association and association football was first played in the 19th century

The word Soccer is as English as it gets

Nice new visual updates to Pixel smartphones :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Its messed with the watch too which I am not happy about

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

What happened? mine is fine.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

just changed a few things that I had got used too haha

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm not sure if this was part of this update but I've just discovered it via Reddit.

If I go into settings/rules I can automatically set my phone to vibrate only when in certain locations. So when I go to work I always manually have to set it but now it's automatically done, this is a huge quality of life setting for me.

My Pixel 2 Watch still looks and behaves like it always did, maybe I need to update that.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Lazy dog :rolleyes: whatever happened to manual work :D

I really like these new visuals. The font is nice too. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Just tested that auto rule setting and it works perfectly, definitely a quality of life feature as I work unusual shifts so it's great to have. My whole job is manual work I'm an expert at it. Zzzz lol

Still annoys me I can't get rid of that damn search bar on the home screen.

Well last Admiral tried to charge me £975 on my insurance with 36 years NCB, I told them WTF, they dropped it to £775, I said bye.


Aviva Zero (via compare the market) said £401.


I said take my money.


Well one year later, I expected it to go up, but with my new job it dropped to £253.33.


I'm well chuffed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Was the high premium because you were unemployed at the time?

I future I recommend going through Topcashback site so you don't have to phone up and you will likely get £35 cash back on top of your cheaper premium.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I'm with Aviva Zero, they do seem cheap. You can never tell with insurance companies till you need to claim....

I just gave my GP a call curious whether they offer ear treatment. To my surprise they do. I did search the GP website beforehand where its stated yes by third party but obviously that's wrong. The staff member made an initial ear check appointment then it'll be decided whether I need further treatment. It's just as well I brought otex ear drops today which I'll need to use leading up to the appointment. There's a lot of miss information out there. It's sometimes best to play dumb and seek help. I didn't need to frantically call in the morning :D
