He better not have overdone it with the Scottish accent. Some of us non-native speakers would love to get a grasp of what he's saying.

(Yes, I've spoken to native Scots before. Yes, I had a hard time understanding them.)

Well the Gaelic folk are the ones you need to watch out for, they're worse than us.

I didn't really mean native Scots for the whole thing, I just hope he's added a few slang phrases in there to represent ;)

Like "Aye that PS3 sucks, I was trying to setup a match with the crew and it didnae know what is was doin. Pure laggin and naw wanting to connect right like." :p

Nah, he was fine. You'll probably have more trouble understanding me :rofl:

I had no issues at all last time, not that surprising though.

What was a little surprising was quite a few people moaned at you, not one or two. I genuinely thought you were pretty clear! (accent aside) Ah well, those Americans, always moaning about something eh? ;)

Anyone expecting to hear Grounds Keeper Willie will be disappointed :p I don't have the strong stereotypical highland accent and I'm not one for slang (at least I don't think I used any in the podcast). Maybe I'll throw in some next time :laugh:

I think people will struggle with how fast I talk if anything. In fact, almost definitely. I talk really fast in person so its hard for me to slow it down and I end up making mistakes more often than not. Nerves don't help :p

No one does, working in a call centre numbed me to it though.

I used to have to sit and listen to 30 min - 1 hour calls done by myself. Often with someone else (like my team leader) sitting with me.

Made me want to put forks in my eyes, the amount of **** you say subconsciously over the space of a timeframe like an hour is horrifying at times.

Oh yeah, if you have the podcast is listenable format it should be released. Weekend confirmed! (haha totally stole that from ListenUP :p)

It might be available tonight, it may not be. I think Larry is quite busy at the moment, but I'm sure he'll have it online as soon as he gets chance.

Patience is a virtue.

Any news on the release?

:)

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
