Thing is though Pogle, they used to increase volume in the past and were stopped from doing it. Call me an old cynic but I don't buy the compression not decibels excuse. Do the ads sound the same as the shows they interrupt in your house?Originally posted by Pogle View PostI thought that was due to the compression of the signal and not a deliberate attempt to increase the volumeComment

During a show when somebody whispers, it's quiet; when somebody shouts, it's louder.

People who can't do roundabouts. Like going into the left hand lane and going around the outside with their left indicator going. Or, probably the same people who completely ignore the road markings and use the left turn only lane to go straight accross the roundabout so that the other cars cannot move over. People who park in disabled bays.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
