Re: The Happy Thought Thread
luddite
A "Luddite" is historically a 19th-century English textile worker who destroyed labor-saving machinery as a form of protest. Today, the term is commonly used to describe anyone who opposes or is resistant to new technologies and modern automation

Well that's not me, just because I don't want an iPad strapped to the front of a dashboard doesn't mean I'm a Luddite. Lol
We do have a resident Luddite on this site and his username begins with D, I'm sure everyone can guess who that is.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
My Ford Kuga's Sync 3 system did an update to you could do temperature setting via the screen (as well as voice).
but they flipped the side, then removed it for no reason.

It's called muscle memory, you don't need to look to know where the switches are.
Same as you don't need to watch your fingers when playing guitar, or look at you shoes when tying your laces, and I definitely can't see my arse when I scratch it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
Tesco Woosh delivery error in my favour. £10 off £15 spend and free delivery. No booze tobacco or vouchers
Filled my basket with £25 and applied the voucher. Then I say Buzzballz 4 for 3 so added 4 of those to the basket. Then I thought I do not want such and such and took it out the basket. The voucher still showed so I took something else out then something else Ended up with a basket of £26 including the buzzballz and the voucher was still good. Added a £3 clubcard voucher and got it all got it all for £13 delivered
Buzzballz are normally £3.60 each so £10.80 with the 4 for 3 offer. I also got two packets of muffins (not the cake) a packet of cooked beef a packet of corned beef a box of cheese ritz 2 tins of beans and a 6 pack of hula hoops for the £13
Tested it after as it is a multi use voucher on just buzzballz and computer said no so it had to be a glitch

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
Are they palatable? Is the alcohol overwhelming? Which are the best? Lotta Colada caught my eye  I love pina colada
For Christmas my aunty got me an m&s cocktail gift set. The alcohol was overwhelming I couldn't sip it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
I went into Tesco express during my break. I asked one of the managers who was near the alcohol section if it's any good. He started laughing saying it's a quick way to have a good time but yes it's strong.
Would you say it's like the pre-mix cans, Malibu ones ?
