The huge price hike at Costa coffee.
I've only ever had hot chocolate from there but it was repulsive. Can tell they really water it down then add a few splashes of milk to it.

Bosses who push, push, push.

Just had to threaten two of mine. They know we are up the wall and always add that bit extra. Had my toolbox in my hand and was on my way to my car. It shouldnt have to come to that but I guess its the way of the world now. In the end I told them I dont speak tory and to leave me alone. Fuckers.

Youtube Reaction videos. I don't understand why people are so interested in seeing other people, that they don't know, reacting to their favourite films, music albums or whatever. It can be fun and interesting to see the reaction of a close friend or family member to those things, but the fuck do I care what some dead-eyed dumb frivolous c*nt thinks about it? And the levels of narcissism involved to actually make those videos, jeez. Here's half an hour of ME reacting to YOUR favourite thing, please subscribe. Fuck off!

Is it just me, or have they put their prices up as well? Just a chippy delivered the other day and it was near £15 when it used to be £12 recently.

I noticed mine had a new menu on the wall the other day with higher prices - Presumably the whole inflation/Brexit thing...

Christ yes. If I see one on my YT homepage then it immediately gets the "Don't recommend this channel" treatment. You sometimes get a clutch of them when a new trailer for something like Star Wars appears (probably see a few about this new GoT show). And they always make those stupid 'shocked' faces for the thumbnail!

I know there are a lot of driving posts in here (fair few from me to be honest). It’s just the general idiocy of people who also are adamant they’re in the right, for example:

- Merge in Turn. People who merge hundreds of yards before the merge point and then don’t let anyone else “push in”.
- Speed Limits. People who are driving well below 70 yet pull out into Lane 3 on a motorway.
- Middle Lane Wankers.

And my all time favourite, the one that’s nearly caused me to crash several times - the speed cameras on the Widnes side of the new Mersey Gateway. It’s a 70mph road, yet for some reason people feel the need to slam on down to 60 (or sometimes 50) for the camera. In both lanes, too.

It honestly astounds me daily how some people get by without crashing.

On the YouTube reaction vids…

I have found myself watching more and more of them. I love seeing people react to songs. There is a reaction video - a guy, not sure of his job, who primarily loves hip hop and rap - of him listening to Taylor Swift’s folklore for the first time and I am not exaggerating when I say I have watched it over two  dozen times. The journey of him knowing Taylor Swift for her mainstream pop hits and everything that goes with that, to him being visibly shocked and impressed, crying at one stage and by the end declaring it one of the best albums he had heard that year is such a high for me. The girl who “only sings songs about breaking up with people in a euphoric, sickly pop format” announcing herself in someone’s world as an incredible songwriter, flanked by some incredible production is just so nice to watch for me. There are quite a few other reaction videos like that but that one gets me. Here is the link if anyone wants to see what I mean.

https://youtu.be/HBGBzKCTnaU

There is also a really young guy in America who has a channel where he reacts to songs he has never heard before. Really classic songs, but he never had the exposure. A lot are British bands/people like Rick Astley, Queen, Joy Division, Depeche Mode etc…. I find it quite wholesome and at times really funny as we often have different opinions here on some of the songs. I think he reacted to YNWA too and became a Liverpool fan off the back of it.

Here he is listening to Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time: https://youtu.be/O-ucmYN7v3o

Also, I do watch some food and drink reaction videos too. I like seeing taste tests and stuff like that - Good Mythical Morning is one I have started to watch a lot of.

I came into this thread to mention SkyQ initially!

Have had it for over a year now and my god it is shite IMO. I absolutely hate it. The second box isn’t used that often and so struggles to connect first time when you turn it on. I don’t know how to catch up with live TV when you pause it without having to FF. And so other little changes and features I thought I’d get used to but it still feels dreadful.

I like the additional space and the fact the boxes are physically small but the rest of it is shite for me.

I watch a lot of his 80s reactions. Also AfterWorkReactions for British sitcoms and Father Ted. Like a lot of things, for every decent reactor (for lack of a better word) there are a hundred knobends who scream and shout and play it up for the camera.

I would be keen to see that thread too? My Husband thinks it’s terrible too. I didn’t know if we were in the minority or not.

I like some of the features - having Netflix, Prime, Disney, Apple within the system (so one remote), more storage and obviously it’s more interactive that the old system but I just find it clunky.

The interface is crap.

Careful with them,  loads of censorship. Weve got the minimum 149 Mbps and its sufficient

Sky Q - its cheaper our bill went from £120 to £95 a month
more storage for downloads and recorded stuff

all in all an inferior product due to it being ran through the internet.

Youtube Reaction videos. I don't understand why people are so interested in seeing other people, that they don't know, reacting to their favourite films, music albums or whatever. It can be fun and interesting to see the reaction of a close friend or family member to those things, but the fuck do I care what some dead-eyed dumb frivolous c*nt thinks about it? And the levels of narcissism involved to actually make those videos, jeez. Here's half an hour of ME reacting to YOUR favourite thing, please subscribe. Fuck off!

Depends. I follow a number of reaction channels avidly, but they've grown organically and moved beyond reactions into other areas - like art, gaming etc. I even help out on a channel now, helping someone produce content. Started following her three years ago when she had less than 600 subs. Now she has over 11k. We record gaming sessions together, have done live streaming, and I help moderate her discord channel. It's been great fun. We even encouraged her to set up a Patreon last year.

The channels that peeve me off are the reaction channels that seem to pop into existence, ready made; with an instagram, fbpage, patreon - hell, some even have only fans - all there from the start on a channel that's less than a year old and has, maybe, a dozen videos on it.

Now yeah, the pandemic hit people hard, and many looked for an outlet, so fair enough. And if someone has decided they want to do this thing as some kind of business, then I suppose you have to engage in multiple platforms. But I feel it's more... manufactured. Like some company has set them up, franchise like - given them the kit, told them what to do, and takes a cut of any money they make. It's extremely artificial.  Like a football club suddenly popping into existence with no history, fan loyalty, but can spend whatever it likes and seems to have loads of people suddenly interested in them.

But I love the channels that have been around for ages and just grown. People who have day jobs, lives, and share what's going on. I live alone, and especially during the pandemic, social isolation could be a big problem.

Watching reactions is fun for me, because I feel I'm watching a show with someone. There's a social element to it for me.

Just tell her the channel the router is on is too busy and you're not getting the maximum benefits from it so you need to log in to change it. Sorted  :wave

I'm pretty sure the log in details are on the router normally. On the little sticker with the router password on.

Come on RAWK, we need to work together to get Kenny his dirty material.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

Thanks lads
As I've said before, the Full English is just the base upon which the Scots/Welsh/NI have improved upon. Sorry but the Full English is the worst of the British breakfasts.
