BBC iPlayer "Series Record"

Is completely and utterly stupid and terrible and a pain in the bloody arse. :@

The point is to download programmes automatically, so you don't need to remember when they're on and wait for the stupid and pointless delay before they're available - they'll just start downloading when they're ready.

Except half the time they don't start downloading, it gives a stupid download error, and you have to cancel it and download manually, then re-enable the stupid bloody series record thing so the same thing can happen next week.

And then, you watch episode one, and you watch episode two, and you're waiting for episode three to arrive, only to constantly have episode one trying to re-download because it's still available to watch even though you've bloody watched it already and don't want to see it again but you can't stop the stupid damned thing expiring after 6 days even when it's still available for download and there's no shitting record kept of the fact that you've already watched it and don't want to see it again.


Also. Parental Fucking Guidance. Useless fucking annoying pointless shitty damned arsing bollocks! :@

Stop fucking prompting me and making me tick a checkbox and press a button just because the bloody programme involves a few people hitting each other a couple of times! :@

Grrrr!!!!! :@ :@ :@ :@ :@

I have just boxed up a shipment for you. It contains 1 towel that you can dry your tears with.

I have several towels and a considerable number of tissues, but no tears.

Torrents have a different set of annoyances. :/

I can't be arsed. If you really want one, I'm sure Google will oblige.

Its not healthy to keep them bottled up.

I have plenty of bottles too, but none of them contain tears, otherwise I would sell them to someone.

It's not the same when it's not you describing your special needs.

Software that just fucking works isn't a special need.

In the case of iPlayer perhaps, but everything else...

People not being fucking stupid isn't a special need.

I love you today, you're saying "fucking" much more than usual. It reminds me of when 2 people swapped accounts to see if anyone would notice. I forget who it was though.

Was that parental guidance meant for the swearing that followed? Because, if it was, it was fucking ineffective. Bloody fucking ineffective even.

IIRC, one of them was Greg. Even if it wasn't, he's a reasonable suspect.

I noticed that as well. Potty mouth Peter!

It's ok though, Fuck is a good word. There really isn't another word like it.
