Figured it might be (and I really, really need a seat- long day and all that). Anyway, barman has just brought an unasked for pint over, sooo...

Just missed that - was thinking it might be packed, so holding out for the 2040. Or something.

<waves> am also at Euston waiting for a train back to Birmingham (not sure which one at present, what with all the heat and that)

Indeed - hadn't noticed it on mine (it defaulted to some random reality show down the channel list), but I've heard others noting the GBN thing

Alex Hughes @alexhughes.co.uk · 17/06/2026

Ah, gotcha! And yes, it is buried deep in the settings (took me a while to sort it too)

Alex Hughes @alexhughes.co.uk · 17/06/2026

That's probably the one I meant. Anyway, that worked for me at least.

Is the TV defaulting to the Samsung TV Plus app on startup? There's a setting (something like Settings > General > Smart Features > Autorun Last App) that will turn that off. I think it reset back to 'on' on a recent OS update.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? At a conference in Italy, and this ame in the goodie bag (logo on other side). Bit on back slides out to a hook of sorts, bit that swivels round has a felt widget (non-removable) in it. And no, it's not a USB drive.

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

Bought tickets from a machine at New St - which also spat out two unasked-for 'Seat Reservation' tickets. Brum > Euston - fine, although there was plenty of room. Odder though was this one for the second leg... "No specific seat reserved".

Why the fuck can't pharmaceutical companies agree on which end of the box should be opened to get to the lovely drugs inside without having to pull the leaflet out of the way first? Sometimes it's the end with the batch details, sometimes not. Come on, drug dealers, sort it out.

For this damage, insurance should cover (most) of it, but small claims can't make them remove/ make safe the rest of it.
