As soon as I connect my phone to the car's Bluetooth, Spotify switches to car mode, is this not standard? I've got an 11 plate Golf so it's not exactly cutting edge

Edit: this is car mode

Hmmm, stand corrected. I have it on the iPhone and never seen it do that.

So are we planning to discuss the new website at all today?

In have no opinion on it really

So are you saying that I need to have a smartphone with me if i want to buy a pint of beer in the T and T ? If so that is unbelievable. No, but staff at the door might take some time to compute that you don’t want to use a smartphone. They will look at you gormlessly for about 15 seconds. A party o...

Can understand why they have to do it at the moment but they are bloody annoying. When this is over I’m refusing to visit any establishment that requires me to order myself via an app. We’ve survived for years without needing apps. I’ve never been to the bar at somewhere like Pizza Hut? You stand a...

IMDb is another culprit - used to be brilliant - now it’s almost unusable. I’m sure it makes money though.

I hope Wikipedia stays the way it is

Spotify - why is there no ‘car mode’ ?! Big bubbly buttons and large text - we’ve seen a lorry driver wipe out families because of the shite user interface of Spotify... I know you shouldn’t be using devices while driving, but we are human. Same with iPhones - Apple want you want you to shell out lo...

ALL websites, in general these days are garbage. In the good old days of the internet, a website was a tool to deliver the user information about a product or service wrapped up in an easy to use package. But now you have to agree to all cookies, know who all the partners are with awful pop ups, ads...

Who cares? They told us they were doing one and started last week with the first match. So will you share the details of hardly making any money? And they changed their mind... I think the fans not coming into the stadiums for the fore-seeable has obviously affected that The amount of time and effo...

claptrappers_union

I can't imagine many people downloading or ordering the programme throughout the whole season - the club is probably better off putting in more effort with creative online content ready for matchday - that's where the eyes are going to be and that's where businesses are more likely to spend money fo...

claptrappers_union

I know the creators of the programme are very proud of what they produce, I know that for a fact. Burnley's programmes over the past decade have been excellent. This would've been a hard decision for them to make, understandable though.

claptrappers_union

My concern in general would be that if someone does invest and take over the club that they realise that relegation and promotion exist in English football. I don't think relegation features at all it American sports. I've watched a few American YouTubers reacting to videos explaining the basics of...

very skeptical this will happen.

That's an interesting link - written by Simon Evans who is a Burnley fan, in fact he's Eli's son.

I’ve been working with Simon recently, i didn’t know he was Eli’s son... small world.

Lead vocals when they sing a lyric and attach a 'yeah' at the end... or they chuck in a 'yeah' to fill a gap. It's like they're making the song all about them.

Female leads are the worst for it

If the tweet is accurate, that looks like Tarkowski is West Ham bound, £35m is what the club have been holding out for, so I'm told.

That's at odds with what the manager has said

Have you heard a story about a player not arriving for his medical? I’m not 100% sure who it was but I think you may have prepared an article ready.

You said he’s not talking to any board members. That is quite simply not true.

OK, fair enough, I'm only saying what I was told - but the bottom line is, from what I believe - the relationship has completely broken down

claptrappers_union

That is not the case, suggesting he doesn’t talk to any board members. Maybe that’s the case with some directors but very definitely not with others. But I’ve been saying for months and months, long before the shutdown, that there were serious problems. Basically, the manager and the board are not ...

claptrappers_union

Couldn't agree more - can't see much changing though unfortunately. No one seemed to want to believe me some time ago but manager and chairman seem to continue to be at loggerheads and ultimately there will only be one solution and that will be one of them having to go. It doesn't take a genius to ...

Its alright people being critical about SD bemoaning we need to find extra players, but at least there is some communication from him. Everyone else seems to be hiding.We do have a PR department and we have a recruitment team-and we hear today(from SD of course) that we are not close to anyone join...

Amazing how a players career can implode - he was a good player. Doesn't seem like the dependable type, with more than one manager dropping him because of his commitment to training.

claptrappers_union

There's obviously something going on - more than just a breakdown in spending transfer funds. Dyche can only perform his role to the best of his ability, unfortunately for him, his reputation is based on the type of players he brings in and the results and he is being hindered by things outside his ...

Without opening that buddy i bet its Sid's Heroes?

You know, it is Sids Heroes, but I uploaded it years ago - not knowing the name of the actual programme, when I googled ‘Sids Heroes’ just now - it linked me to an alternative 5 min version

The one on here is the longer cut

I lived in Newchurch for twenty odd years cant recall that one! I was told she was from Newchurch... anyway when I went to see him in Blackburn, he listed a lot of local towns, and mentioned Crawshawbooth, Rawtenstall and Bacup - he said he was used to see a girl in Rawtenstall... might’ve been par...

Is that the same Stewart Lee who mocked someone's foreign sounding name? A Jewish Tory MP... Yes, that was in a newspaper column, but the MP wasn’t the but of the joke, the target was little Englanders who want MP with English names.

Before lockdown I went to watch Josh Widdicombe and Jasper Carrott. Both hilarious and Jasper, you could tell was a professional. He knew what he was doing. No racism whatsoever, he was just funny.

Black comedians who aren't in the least bit funny feel they have to go with race. You watch the comedy clubs and they feel they have to try and be funny, by bringing race into it. I don't care if they are black, white or green... just be funny and stop dropping down to this level. There's people wh...

I see black comics telling jokes about white people and other nationalities and it's funny but a white comic doing the same is a racist the world's gone mad why can't we all just enjoy a joke have a laugh and stop overreacting because you've been told it's offensive I'd probably laugh at both comed...

I think it's about the change in attitudes, Manning took the micky out of everyone and everything... it was 'sticks and stones' in those days. You can see in his interviews with 'young comedians' on such as Mark Lamarr and Caroline Ahearne (as Mrs Merton) and you can see he knows he knows his time i...

I've never bought this excuse that comedians like Davidson, Brown, and Manning used that "it's only an act". For me, you can't do that kind of material, unless your mindset is programmed that way to start with. After Trump's election, Brexit, Labour being whitewashed in that snap election, and read...

claptrappers_union

In one of the standups I've seen him do on YouTube, (which I can't find now) he does a bit about one of his disabled friends who he treats just like everyone else and doesn't tiptoe around the disability. Davidson says he gets him out of his wheelchair, playfully throws him around at parties and get...

10 years ago when I was at Uni, me and my mate used to find it funny to get stoned and watch Roy Chubby Brown DVDs. Sounds kind of douchey to watch something ironically and laugh at it rather than with it but it was hilarious to us none the less. It was interesting when we watched the "extras" on o...

claptrappers_union

Doesn’t your anecdote about JD in Blackburn not explain why some theatres don’t want acts like that performing there? Quite possibly - he's the only comedian of that type I've seen live though. My friend bought tickets to see Roy Chubby Brown in Oswaldtwistle with the rose-tinted specs of watching ...

I don’t like ‘comedians’ who feel they have to use the F word all the time. It doesn’t make it more funny.

Depends how it’s used. And I agree, if you’re using it all the time how can land an impact in a punchline when you need to use the f word ?

Is it not the grumpy ranting man 'act' he's always done? It's like whinging about Jack Dee for appearing dour. You’d think so... I’d like to see what he’s really like away from his comic persona.

Regardless of the vague validity of any of his points, his delivery will only be interpreted as a angry bitter old man, albeit that is his 'act' - akin to Roy Chubby Brown, Les Dawson or Bernard Manning. Wont take long before someone labels him gammon, mind. EDIT - I see CTU already has. Serves me ...

Sounds like your usual bigot in the pub. Blames young people (millennials) for everything, doesn’t see the bigger picture and get angry at things that don’t have any affect on him.

I don't venture onto Twitter much and I don't actively look for transfer news and gossip, so this thread is the source for that kind of speculation.... and it's depressing.
