RANT CORNER
Can someone help me out with this, firstly I have not had a problem until today, I've recorded 2 screens for some time with no issue. This morning for some reason I just had a black screen and now i've sorted that, the source "Laptop" ia recording both screens and it's pi**ing me off.

I often switch on the news ten minutes early and don't pay much attention to what's on before, it's usually Pointless (didn't realise the pun until I typed ), but the show just finished on ITV, The Masked Singer US, made me feel physically sick!!! What flipping mentality does it take to watch, or even worse appear in the audience?

Sports news annoys me. You want to watch things later and they start everything with "{name} won the XYZ today"
F1 is the worst. They never even say "Today at the XYZ Grand Prix...." so you have time to grab the mute button.
What happened to 'if you don't want to know the results ...." TV news you get some clue it's going to happen but Radio news just splurts it out.
There's just too much sport on and too many live streams/results that they assume if you're interested, you already know. They only advise you to leave the room if the highlights are being shown on their own channel.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:12 pmSports news annoys me.

Personally, I'd feel like the biggest idiot in the world watching a sporting event and not knowing the result when the rest of the world does!

You can only assume these people have already read all the classics and consumed all of high culture and don't have much else to do. It would be truely bizzare to go to the filming of that if you still hadn't got through the Ring Cycle or read Ulysses. They all seem happy enough though, simple pleasures for the blissfully ignorant.
With you on that, I have to stay completely off the internet and radio when the F1 is on so I can watch the channel 4 highlights.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:12 pmSports news annoys me. You want to watch things later and they start everything with "{name} won the XYZ today"

I dont' like watching something if I know the result, without the "will they/won't they" tension it's just not the same.

yeah radio is the worst because it sneaks up on you. You get busy doing something, lil bit of background music on, get distracted, then boom. What you've been looking fwd to is ruined.
tbh these days the only interest is in who comes 2nd so I try not to get too upset when I hear "Lew......." before putting my fingers in my ears and going "la la la la la "... again !!!!!
I suppose I'm too used to reviewing racing videos and making notes back in my betting days. If I didn't know the result I'd find out first so I know what to look for. Reviewing and re-reviewing a 20-runner handicap with an interest in 6-8 horses was more of a chore than a pleasure.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 8:22 pmI dont' like watching something if I know the result, without the "will they/won't they" tension it's just not the same.

I record the NFL games that I'm interested in watching and the golf if I'm not trading it just so I can fast forward through the adverts, very annoying when theres an ad break every 5 minutes.
In the case of golf there really should be a red button option to watch any group you want. They wouldn't lose out on advertising revenue because they could show ads when the group you're watching are between shots.

I watched my first ever major Major League match the other night and the commentary was along the lines of......."Smith's passing today has been as silky smooth as the ice cream at Daisy's Yoghurt Outlet where you can buy one, get one free until next Friday."
I just gaped at my TV in astonishment.
