Long live b3ta! 18y 10m under current profile, but I had another username from the early days which I forgot after taking a few years' break when I first became a dad. And also because I was constantly stoned back then. Probably for the best, as those early posts would no doubt get me cancelled now.

Dismayed to learn of plans to screen Stonehenge so it can't be seen from the A303 (apparently to stop people hanging out of car windows to take pictures). Getting a glimpse of the monument is always a highlight of a drive down to the SW. We shouldn't let a few idiots spoil that for the rest of us.

This is THE single most annoying thing about Android. Randomly turns volume to inaudible, meaning you have to get phone out of pocket and rewind whatever you're listening to. If I didn't need it at that level I wouldn't have it at that level! Impossible to turn off, even with developer options.
