Also, seen the Asian guy who tries to give you a wee bracelet? I assume that’s just your standard tourist-grade scam?
I’m sure he’s homeless and goes into shops and gets in folks faces when they are buying crisps or other unhealthy shit.

Bracelet guy is a scammer aye, looks as if he’s giving you something for free then wants a tenner (or whatever daft price) once he’s forced it on your wrist.  Seen people just throw it on the ground and walk away from him.

Maybe 2 different guys but there is definitely a homeless Viking looking guy that kicks about with a huge bottle of water. He just screams at folk and shit.

Just got it. Sky TV and TV work perfectly. Films are hit and miss but TV series are dead. "Playback error" on 99% of ones ive tried. Like episode one from about 30 series i get that message.

Any ideas?

I’m sure I had a similar error when I tried to get it years ago, some things worked but the majority was broken. Never got an answer on how to fix it so I just binned it.

Anyone use an Amazon Echo?

I’ve got an Echo and an Echo dot set up but now that they’re linked to my phone everything plays through them. So if I want to listen to a video on any app on my phone (YouTube, Twitter, BBC Sport) it plays through Alexa.

I only want to use them to listen to Spotify. Anyone know how to get round this?

I think you can do this on Android if you have a certain type of Bluetooth, don’t think you can do it on Apple.

If your phone can do it you’re looking for “seperate audio source” or something like that. I’ve not got my work phone on me to go through the menus but you’ll probably be able to just search for it.

Surely you just unlink the apps you don’t want it to play through? I have a Dot and only really use it for Apple Music and radio.

Thankfully I picked up on the issue while watching a YouTube video, but yes this is clearly my main concern.

Did you watch it? I watched it all, thought it was quite an interesting talk. The guy is an auditory neuroscientist, not a rabid nationalist. Sad to see how embarrassed you are of the Scots language.

He's laying that on thick as fuck there. The accent and the oppression. "We wur told we couldnae speak right, we wur told we couldnae jump the burn". Fuck off, pal, it's no the clearances.
