The same with the ARD (German state TV) app, which crashes constantly at the moment or the sound stops - well, since the last FireTV update, I have had to restart the FireTV at least once a day, usually the sound stops working or it complains that there is an error with the DRM.

i also regularly get a problem where everybody starts lisping and that requires a restart as well.

Well, that's not terribly reassuring. Do you know when the update was rolled out. I haven't noticed any of those issues so far but the last thing I watched was int he Youtube app.

Some time end of July / beginning of August.

Someone has sent me some HTML.

Microsoft Word‘s HTML output.

Oh. Your. God.

Yep, that can be bad! Word learnt to output HTML in the late 90s and I don't think the programmer knew much about it and I don't think they've updated it much since.

Today, I nominate Essex Record Office who, in their infinite wisdom, posted HALF of a stereo photos of one of the downed Zeppelins from WWI



Fascinating to see, but why chop off half the image?

Now I dunno, d'you think this is the kind of high quality internet journalism I should be making an exception for, or not?

Total overreaction, I mean what could possibly go wrong....

Was it refused??

From memory there are fairly large signs in the Eurostar section of the station prohibiting the carriage of various historical munitions.

Had a letter from my Building Society this morning. They're changing the name of my savings account, and in the process dropping the interest rate from 2% to 0.25%. Yes folks, that's one quarter of one percent. with inflation (depending on who you ask) running at somewhere between 2% and 4%, what on earth is the incentive to save money when they're basically charging you to do so. The hilarious thing is the letter tries to sell this as an improvement in the service they're offering me.

(aside ; Whenever I start a sentence with ' I had a letter from..' I have a great desire to end the sentence 'I opened and read it, it said they were suckers'. I think this is partly because I used to listen to Public Enemy too much - although, heretically, I actually prefer the Tricky cover version of that song - and partly because most letters I get these days tend to operate on the assumption that I'm an idiot)

There's no point saving money. You need to find something to invest in. One of my friends collects limited edition vodkas and another rolex watches and classic cars.
