2017’s Most Famous Meme

The years most famous meme, you know the one with the disapproving girlfriend scoulding her boyfriend for checking out another woman. No one is more suprised that it’s been memefied so to speak than the photographer that took it. Antonio Guillem a 45 year old photographer from Barcelona.

He usually takes stock photos and most of his porfolio consists of exaclty what we see in the meme, a man and two women in a situation that provokes a reacitve pose in one of the models.

Speaking to Wired.com Guillem said that he wanted to step away from what he usually does and produce some imagery that represents ‘infidelity concept in relationships in a fun and playful way”

Thus the years most famous meme was born! “Disloyal man walking with his girlfriend and looking amazed at another seductive girl” became to be famous for the reason that not what it was intended for but we all love it anyway.

 

How To Save Netflix From Killing Your Data!

We all have data caps on our phones & (unsurprisingly) it can get costly if you can’t latch on to a free WiFi network. Netflix uses 1gb of data per hour and 3 gigs of data if you stream in HD!

But Netflix do have a handy tool to let you know how much data your using, please see below!

Low: Basic and most data and cost effective at 0.3gb data
Medium: SD quality video uses about 0.7gigs
High:The best you can get depending on the content, 3gb for HD content and up to 7gb for UHD.
Automatic: Netflix automatically chooses the best quality stream for you based on the strength of your network.
Unlimited: Highest quality possible for your device same rate as High standard. (So will choose UHD if your network will handle it)

HOW DO I DO THIS?

On The Netflix app, head on over to the ‘APP SETTINGS’ and go to the “Cellular Data Usage’ tab and choose what one you want Netflix to use for all your content.

On the desktop head to Your Account -> Playback Settings and choose what one you wish to use.

Hot Tug

We recently sent Producer Molly out on the road, along with her friend Steph to find out exactly what driving a Hot Tub around Regents canal on a summer’s evening felt like. Find out how everything went down here:howtokillanhour.com/events-activities/hot-tug Marcus Bronzy Funk Butcher DJ Ace Nick Bright HotTug UK

Posted by How To Kill an Hour on Thursday, 7 September 2017

We recently sent Producer Molly and her friend Steph along to a very unique experience in Regents Canal, Islington, London, to ride a Hot Tub! The experience lasts 90mins with 75mins worth of relaxing along the canal, in the beautiful picturesque centre of London.

The water within the Hot Tug is heated to 38 degrees and is controlled by a wood burning stove at the front of the vehicle, you can choose from a range of accessories such as a Captains hat! Steering the Hot Tug is very easy and is used via a rudder at the back of the vehicle. Once your time is up the water is then cleaned and prepared for the next lot of ship mates!

It costs £220 for the whole HotTug (fits up to 7 ppl)

Our experience lasts for 2 hours, with 90 minutes of time in the water. After a greeting by one of our captains who will run through a safety and instructional demonstration, you will then have 90 minutes sailing time on the water. An amazing chance to relax and unwind. 

This is an incredibly relaxing and fun experience in the centre of London, it is truly unique.

On site we have lockers for storage, along with basic shower and changing facilities. Please bring towels and swimwear, although these along with robes can also be purchased or rented on site. Our site offers privacy for when you board the boat. (Hot Tug UK)
