2.01am so the forum says midnight 01!

EDIT: It's now been corrected.

My clock in my car will now be right again. The dealer put it forward when I asked them not to last time (as it is a fidgety thing to change) - I prefer it to be on GMT all year as more 'logical' that way - then, when it went back to winter, and I asked them to put it back, they omitted to do so:(. (Usual 'neurotypicals' not doing a full and complete job or otherwise forgetting to do something - the autistic person would/does have it on their mind throughout, as part of the full job, and would never have omitted to ensure they did it*.) (I was already out of the premises by the time (whatever it was!:D) that I saw it was unchanged and, although I have had to go back for other things since, I've not thought to ask them as it is such a minor thing.) So, it's been BST all the last few months. I will just have to remember I now see the correct time from now on in:rotfl:.

Righto, with it being now after 2 o'clock, I'm feeling a bit tired! I'll see you later:wave:.

*I think that's because sometimes we (or myself at any rate) have to think about something whilst we are doing it, lest we not remember to do it - whereas the "neurotypical" person does things intuitively (and not on my "active thought/academic" basis) and remembers the more relevant things - such as the repair of the car - and doesn't even have in mind, or remember, the tiny clock change matter. I'd have in mind all the tasks to do the repair of the car, together with the clock change, or would, with the repair of the car, if I knew how to do it and if I did that and had the relevant tools then wouldn't need to be taking it to them in the first place, but I don't know anything about doing that as it's just not my specialist subject.

I think I'd prefer much more expensive individual-T price wine tbh, to get a much greater 25% and then a price match to way cheaper A5da, rather than these less good £3.75 'deals' reducing the 25% amount and making the whole lot a bit more expensive (when price-matched to A) although still better than their going for the seemingly cheap £3.75 and thinking somehow that's better when it isn't! It seems to me it's not anyway! It seems to me a higher individual price would give a much bigger 25% deduction - especially if you got several with that higher individual price - and then had a price match to A at cheaper price (than the individual T prices that it compares from) - but, what do I know?!?:huh:

Of course, A is not cheaper to buy from, or even same price, as the TBG with fillers is a cheaper way!

Someone post on hotdeals: why would you buy six with individual £3.75 price when that reduces the 25% off and therefore makes the whole thing, with price-match vs A being done from individual prices, somewhat more expensive to buy than higher individual prices and comparison would be?

The whole thing will cost you more! Try the more expensive individual priced wine with much cheaper prices elsewhere, with 9 different approx-10p fresh veg/sweets fillers and you'll see that your bill will be less;).

cheers for the netbet cb headsup davemorton

I usually play roulette but decided to try blackjack this time. A few mins later and I withdrew £40. The £55 cb will be the cherry on top if it comes through

That (and finding a tenner at the shops) has improved my mood because I went to the cinema today to use my mail cinema codes before they expire on the 31st only to discover they actually expired 2 days ago! I had to pay FULL PRICE!!!!! :eek:

:eek: Full price?? :rotfl:

When I have been on the mortgage board, they think it is okay, but worth making your own informed decisions. :money:

Apparently, I was listening to the radio today, and when the clocks go back, they repeat the 1 o clock news, thought that might interest you. :beer:

It doesn't interest me - the clocks have gone forward not back, so it isn't relevant! I used to listen to the radio a lot at these times. Sometimes they do have the 1 o'clock news and then, would would otherwise have been the 2 o'clock news, is then introduced as the (second) 1 o'clock news (which of course it then is) - however, I used to prefer it when the newsreader (and I suspect different newsreaders did it differently - a bit like 5.15pm is "afternoon" to some but "evening" to others and, even for other people, varies depending on the time of year) introduced the news at the clock change as "The 2 o'clock news" and then ended the bulletin: "And a reminder that the clocks have just gone back and it's now two minutes past 1." It made the clock change, within the bulletin, a bit more noticeable and is my preference:rotfl:. However, we're gone forward not back.

(I also, irrelevantly, used to prefer it when the news ended "Independent Radio News", didn't like it when Sky took over and it took me over five years before I would even listen to the Sky bulletins but that's because I'm an oldie and I was nostalgic - still would like the old IRN even now:rotfl:. Radio, I think, can be more personal: and presenter and programme changes, whilst they always happen, can be like suddenly changing the colour of someone's carpet and literally pulling the rug from under them. Never used to like some programme being discontinued or changed. I was a radio anorak - especially evening radio when no-one listened - and I always thought it was better than the peak time - I think that's why all the music I like doesn't seem to have been remembered as it was never played when people actually listened - I felt radio was better when everyone was watching TV and vice versa - and my specialist subject, at one stage, was radio jingles. That's when they used to have proper jingles (through the early nineties, my era) before they replaced them with bland 'sweepers', spoken stuff that isn't jingle or otherwise irritating vocals to match either (in the first case) the bland or (in the second) the irritating nature that the music had then become. There was a short period - in the mid-90s - where, IMO, the jingles became better than any of the (then current) music - but they soon changed that - by discontinuing all the jingles or making them as bland and annoying as the music now was. The music was actually good (IMO), like the jingles also were, in the early 90s.)

Nostalgia:D.

http://aircheckdownloads.com/Key103_Jingles_Oct90.mp3

I like singing other stations' jingles over some of them sometimes, so the one starting 0.41 above, I sing "latest hits greatest memories..." as from:

http://aircheckdownloads.com/Beacon_Jingles_1990_1997.mp3

I don't like it as much when it gets to about 5:30 there as it gets up to the mid-90s when the jingles weren't as good.

My favourite was/is the one starting 3:30. But I like all of them up to then and until about 5:30. The one nearer the start about "getting your bum out of bed", bizarrely perhaps I just could not play that out but would only ever listen to it with headphones, because of the word "bum" - I don't know why I had a 'problem' with that but it never actually caused me any offence because I never actually caught it when my parents were around. I never liked the breakfast shows anyway:rotfl:.

http://aircheckdownloads.com/PirateFM_Jingles_92.mp3

Of course my favourite is the 1 minute "song" (at the beginning here). Singing the phone number to the other station when the "There's always a better variety..." comes on:rotfl:. And the one at 3.56 (Pirate FM), sing "The Home of Manchester's Most Music, Piccadilly, Key 103!":rotfl:

http://aircheckdownloads.com/Metro_Jingles_1994.mp3

They actually had good songs, the jingles did back then, better than the music! I think one of those is "There's always more chances to win... more winners!...Metro FM" sing "There's always a better variety, more music..." (from Pirate FM/Beacon):rotfl:.

Anyway, I'd better stop there and go now - I could literally listen all night to these jingles:rotfl:.

I also liked the now-long defunct Hot FM:

http://aircheckdownloads.com/SevernSound_Jingles_Oct90.mp3

But I don't think they've got my favourite ones on there - there's one on Chiltern Radio but it doesn't have the early 90s on anymore:( which was on that website a year ago. ("Chil-TERN ray-dee--o, ninety six point nine - the Hot FM!"). One of the jingles who bed was also used by City FM in Liverpool - indeed the 3:30 Beacon one also, if I remember correctly, had a version on City FM. I could go on forever:rotfl:. However, speaking of beds...;):rotfl::wave::D:wave::wave:

EDIT: Ah! That's why:j:rotfl::

http://aircheckdownloads.com/HotFM_Jingles_Oct91.mp3

Favourite is - well all of those - but the one starting 1.51, which is what I was singing above!:D:rotfl: Actually made you feel good, as opposed to the life-ending rubbish that they have these days!

Someone else will hate them and be glad they got rid of them:rotfl::rotfl:, but, for me, it went downhill ever since they went. I have no clue as to what is on nowadays as for me it is largely unlistenable.

Of course, I also like this:

:rotfl:

Look what dave morton started me off on:eek::eek::rotfl:.

There's also versions from America - as they are all Jam Creative jingles - that are like some of the Beacon/old Radio WM/BBC Radio in the Midlands jingles, including one that uses the bed of one of the old Radio Shropshire jingles - you know the one!:rotfl::D - "Right here in Shropshire county, come on with me, we're proud to be, in the heart of the English countryside..." - that I can't find the Shropshire one online (I can still sing the whole thing now:rotfl:) but I could find the American radio station one that has quite different words but uses the same melody. I've started searching for it:rotfl::eek::D:rotfl: - but I think I'll go to bed:rotfl::wave:. Hope you enjoyed the 'nostalgia'! Early 90s - now nostalgia:eek:. Thanks dm:rotfl:.

"West Midlands car park news... doo doo..." (horn sound):rotfl::rotfl:.
(Sings:) "Call double you em's phone in...Radio WM!" Alright. The strange thing is I used to be - still am - quite averse to advertising and jingles for that:money: and, yet, package them as a radio station jingle and I'd be hooked in!:D:(:rotfl: Must be something, as it got me listening and, indirectly, listenership and advertising money to pay them! (Obviously the last part not the BBC stations, but anyway... goodbye!:wave:)

Anyway, we can't do any shopping today (most of us) so, just listen to the "old" jingles instead (there are even older, but that wasn't my era)! Or avoid them:rotfl:.

There's a story about the one that ends about 2:16 (Pirate FM) and ends "in Buffalo" - they forgot to fade out the jingle of the American station!

I knew all the frequencies (of the UK stations) as well - everything...:rotfl:

Anyway, anorak here:D, goodnight!:wave::wave:
