The "Anything other than talking about bathrooms" Random Thoughts Thread [R]

The new format is all about making more money for BS, easier to load up with more ads. User friendliness is def not a priority.

 

Definitely noted the "more adds" part...stinkers...

 

Indeed there is but Apps tend to water down the experience somewhat and take away certain aspects that Imo anyway, provide a sense of atmosphere

 

Of course, you're looking at it on your phone. Always second best to the desktop/laptop when it comes to BigSoccer.

 

The new layout is sh*t on a desktop too.

 

Yep, don't like it either.

 

The new layout is new...we'll get used to it...

 

I won't.

It bounces all over the place while it decides what ads to display.

It's complete dogshyte.

 

I have the ad-free version...

Be a little patient. What's 8 seconds out of your day???

 

Is that a serious question?

 

Hmmm...I have not used it on my phone or iPad, but the adds, although there, don't seem to be "in the way" ...and I don't experience any "bouncing"...maybe there is something on your device you can turn off?

I do understand how that we be...distracting!

 

half-serious.

it's a "Serenity Prayer" kinda thing. I'm not suggesting you're wrong to be frustrated, but we simply have to accept the change, learn to live with it, or bail. I doubt you're gonna bail, so either rationalize or cope some kinda way.

 

Once I've trained my eyes to bounce up and down in time to the screen I'll be fine ....... in the meantime my coping mechanism requires a lot of bitching and swearing at Big Soccer!

 

Bloke buys a scouse parrot but gets sick of it saying, "I'm from liverpool." and "I'm hard as ********." so he puts a kestrel in its cage. Next morning, he finds the kestrel dead, and the parrot says, "I'm from liverpool and I'm hard as ********." So the bloke puts a golden eagle in the cage. Next morning he finds the eagle dead and the parrot with no feathers. As he looks in the cage, the parrot says, "Had to take me coat off for that ********e

 

Stop me if you've heard this one:

So, Jake is out running errands on a Saturday afternoon and he passes a cemetery where he sees an unusual funeral procession. There's a hearse, followed by another hearse, followed by a man, by himself, walking a dog, and behind them, a queue of a dozen or so men.

Jake parks his car and walks into the cemetery and up to the man walking the dog.

"Excuse me," he says. "I'm sure this isn't a good time to be asking questions, but I was wondering about this funeral procession."

The man with the dog says, "That's OK. I'll tell ya. In the first hearse, that's my wife. She and I got into quite a fight and the dog here, he's real protective of me, and he turned on her, and unfortunately, she died."

Jake says, "Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss." The man with the dog responds, "Hey, that's alright. Things like this happen. Anyway, in the second hearse, that's my mother-in-law. She came to the aid of my wife and...well... the dog turned on her, too, and she died, as well."

Jake, amazed by these tragedies, says, "That's just awful. I can't imagine what you're going through...but I do have one more question. Do suppose I could borrow your dog."

Turning slightly and motioning behind him, the man says, "Get in line."

 

Surprised we don't have a joke thread!

 

What is NSR?

 

Non-soccer related

 

Tbh, I was a wee bit confused with the 'S'....usually NS points towards 'not safe'

 

I've got an ad blocker so I am not seeing an uptick in ads. The screen movement and the lack of a 'Liverpool' (or any other forum) button at the bottom of the screen is annoying because it makes it multiple steps to get out of a thread and back to the main board.
