Useless accolades

"feels like you are really there"

The choice is  between siting comfortable in a warm dining-room, with miniatures, a cup of char and a biscuit or two.
Or crouching in a foxhole with another nation's finest intent on arranging your demise.
I know which I'd prefer.

The problem is that "armchair warriors" often equate walking to the shop as similar to a 12 mile route march.

Just like you're being there.  This actually makes me angry when I see this... (having actually 'been there' thrice).  I mean really?  I don't recall ever taking a retractable ruler to measure the distance between myself and 'smelly man o' goats' and hurling 3 D6s at him.
I digress, it annoys me so.

Why do pubs only ever sell 'good' food? How come it is 'home cooked' too? It comes out of the pub's commercial kitchen (and more often than not direct from the local chilled/frozen catering supplier).

Recently had some thrice fried chips which were very funny as they were originally frozen steak cut chips.

But I digress. Sorry

[Clay]

Good point Radar... unless they actually 'live' in the pub.... which I seriously doubt

Two friends have just bought identical Tesla's that they boast can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds.

Not the most practical accolade around the country lanes where we live!

[Leman (Andy)]

No indeed. A much more practical accolade would be this car doesn't give your kids asthma, but the British have a strange relationship with their vehicles where speed is apparently more important than the safety of others.

[Sean Clark]

Well at least the Tesla is electric so virtually no emissions.

So its that time of year again when WI will issue the results from its survey.

Who's getting the top kudos for the industry?

Some mathematical formula involving a combination of "which systems/figures are most popular/highly regared" + "which publisher/manufacturer has the most active social media presence and actually cares enough to try and leverage that to whip up votes"

[martin goddard]

Agreed Tim.
Warlord swept the board last year.

And the Women's Institute award for best Jam goes to Mrs Lillee, whose tangy gooseberry just pipped the others in a strong field.

"Award winning"

OK, but what if the award was for "the worst new product" or similar....

[Brian Cameron]

I tends to regard advertising as 'the art of telling lies to get you to buy something you don't really want/need' but I may be more cynical than average.
