This appeared outside a house near us last year. Obviously a show truck but the grin factor is the fact it's almost as big as his bungalow.

Few years back now, but the wife was in hospital suffering from a bad chrones flair up, Doc appears starts talking shit about her history that didn’t align with what she’d actually been through. Doc eventually noticed he had her ex husbands second wifes notes. She shared the same first name, but by this time my mrs had her second ex’s surname so her folder had a sticker over her name showing the new surname. Somehow the other womans folder had aquired the same sticker over her correct sticker.  The Doc went nuts, made the team bin both folders and make out new ones with the correct details.  Seems her first ex’s second wife was also suffering very similar illnesses and was under the same doc.  Nothing to do with the shitbag first ex apparently, although he’s onto his third wife now.  No3 has been onto my mrs asking if she had issues like she’s now struggling with him…….oh yes!! 
And his Son is worse and looks like his grandson is going to be worse again.

A lot of people think farmers are stupid and that their job is to push a seed into the ground then shit on it and then go and beat up a cow while they are rich on government subsidies.

The reality is something completely different and it was well covered in the video below which is one of the better things I've seen in a while.

I do too and find it incredible that the UK pays farmers to stop producing food.

That explains it. Assumed it was the forum again as it's as reliable as 2000s Renault electrics at times.

May be more than that, lots of things are being slow.  I thought it was at my end and wiped and rebooted the laptop, no improvement.

Just watching a new police series on Netflix, DeptQ.  Mathew Goode playing the lead role, asks his boss for a car, a bit later you see him pick up some keys from his desk…… fecking Sierra😂😂. Pretty sure its modern era series as theyre seen driving over the new Queensferry Bridge in Edinburgh.

Google Cloud Services outage and AWS is struggling too because a lot of stuff that usually runs on GCS fails over to it.

Apparently things are somewhat back to normal now.

Yes a modern era series. See how many times he dumps & badly parks said Sierra all over the shop. Good series.

I drove to work in the Eos, and as it was a rather nice day I put the roof down on the way home.  Coming out of Wroxham I got an enthusiastic wave from another top-down Eos driver going in the other direction.  First time I've ever had that happen in a "modern"...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this shite.

Just logged into my Tesco Clubcard account, which I usually only do twice a year, to get a voucher code for railcards for myself and SWMBO. Got a security check email, fair enough, but this bit made me chuckle:

I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
