Netflix is a piece of piss to remove things.

I know. But that’s not an easy way to remove something when I am watching via the PS4 app. My gripe is that it should be easy to do via the app, I shouldn’t have to piss around with websites.

I guess, my point is there is a way. The bbc I don’t think there is because they suck.

Yeah but it annoys me that it’s not as easy as it is to add/remove as the watchlist is.

The only way I know on BBC is to play the damn episodes and fast forward until you get to the end. Which isn’t a great way if there’s loads of episodes.

Can't you just skip to the last episode and do it that way?

Nope, they all have to be watched, it’s stupid.

Yup.

One of the one that gets me is a Netflix bug, you get to the end of the last available episode and spit starts the first episode which now means I now have to scroll through that episode and close out the thing before it starts the next one.

Black Mirror was a gooseberry fool for this, it took 3 whole runs through of jumping to the end to make he strawberry floater mark all the eps as watched!

This x100.

I have loads of gooseberry fool on Netflix that I've finished watching but for whatever reason it's not recorded, so "Continue Watching" has little bits of "unwatched" episodes that I can't remember if I actually finished or not, sometimes right in the middle of a series.

Also suggesting the beginning of a series or an ancient retro-actively added Series 1 etc that I saw somewhere else is not "New Episodes" etc. I agree that's pretty irritating. There's enough new stuff to watch without thinking I should be watching things I've already seen again.

Disney Life might just be the best streaming service ever by the sounds of all this. Continue watching only shows for a few days, everything is well organised, and even if you start watching something it won't keep reminding you to carry on watching it. I don't want to think what Disney+ might change about how Life works, because I've never had any trouble with it at all.

I don't get any continue watching items at all on DisneyLife really annoying whe you part watch a film or something!

That sounds like it would be annoying in the opposite way. I don't mind things being in "continue watching" forever, as long as I want them there. I don't want to get part way through a film/show/series and then have to search it out if I take a few days off.

Now TV do it too, they only keep progress for 30 days. I quite often take a break between seasons and stuff and when I had the sub I and to keep track of stuff so I knew where to pick it back up.

It also meant a new series didn't show on your playing list as anew ep came up as your record of watching the others had been dropped.

Bloody annoying.

There's also the issue that all the best pirate sites have now been shut down or blocked.

It's not good when you're forced to rely on youtube to mp3 convertors.

i have noticed this but its still relatively easy to find less mainstream releases by googling "band name album name 320/zip/rar"

To be honest, I do think that's the one part of the site that bugged. Sometimes things will stay there longer, sometimes not at all. If you're watching a series, sometimes the episode you just watched will show there instead of the next, which is a pain if you go straight from home onto something that appeared on continue watching, as it will dump you back to home instead of the series' page.

So... not as perfect as I made out.

So many people get in the way to take gooseberry fool photos of paintings in art galleries.

What are you planning to do with an off angle shot of Starry Night exactly?

Ebay.

Bought one thing, it goes into the Hermes network late May and the tracking hasn't updated since. Bought another thing, seller marks it as posted but then sends me a refund, i get an email from paypal saying the 'refund has failed.' I'm going to be busy in the resolution centre for a while...

People who hold their phone flat like some sort of tray whilst they are talking on it in speakerphone mode, especially when they are walking around. It's a phone, hold it like a strawberry floating phone, and nobody else wants to hear your shitty conversation!

I mean, look at these bellsprouts:
