sierraman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Day 2 of Isolation and I’m already going out of my mind. The wife can not get it in her head that I’ve got work to do, thinking I’m lined up for jobs round the house and banging and constantly shouting. It’s like doing a shift in Durham nick with the banging and yelling while I’m trying to get on with shit. I don’t want to be in this house doing work any more than what she wants me to be here, given every chance I’d 100% rather be at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is found throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East and is one of the most common members of the family in the region.

Took at least three separate looooong installs (5+hrs; one was left overnight and still hadn't finished by morning), and four restarts, but it did eventually come back to life again. I was ver' surprised. It seems to be slightly less painfully slow now, too. Slightly. Hoping yours can be sorted, dude - though I swear some of these compulsory OS updates seem designed purely to drive sales of new machines... iainrcz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Okay, just spent the best part of an hour driving around in circles trying to get to the Grafton Gate Argos. Due to the road closures surrounding that retail park at the moment I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get to it. Google is as much use as a chocolate teapot as it doesn't seem to realise two of the closures are there. There must *be* a way in as there are cars in the car park, I'll be damned if I can find it though. Then had it suggested to me when I got back home "Why didn't you just park in Morrison's and walk?" Simple, because the signage says you're not allowed to do that so of course I'd never have considered it. Welcome to the world of being autistic. Couldn't park in the pay and display just across the road as I didn't have my wallet with me so didn't have any coins or a card on hand and the machines for reasons unknown accept all forms of contactless payment except for by phone. Yes it's a minor grump in the grand scheme of things, but this is the sort of thing which winds me right up. Edit: Of course some idiot had totally forgotten that the Morrison's car park connects with one branch of the Argos car park at one point didn't he.

dozeydustman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Dear cat food producers. I’ve had a lovely afternoon with all the windows open and filled my house with fresh air. Please could you change your cat food recipes so a) cats actually eat it b) all the flies in the world don’t enter my house within 3 seconds of the pouch or tin being opened.

A previous update killed that, I spent about a week trawling for a solution. Got it working again, and incredibly reinstalling windows didn't break it. It did randomly keep my graphics card driver, but delete the control panel for it. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Debt collector emailed. They aren’t allowed to tell me how much I allegedly owe until I produce evidence of my current address, phone number, and date of birth for”verification” and “data protection” purposes Yeah. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight Pointed out that data protection relates to the relevant collection and storage of information. Knowing my current address is irrelevant. Unless they want to send two heavies to NZ paying £2000 for flights and a further £3000 in quarantine costs to pursue a debt of probably less than £50. Pointed out It was unlikely their pisspot system would be able to verify my location in a rented house in another country so asked again if they wouldn’t mind telling me how much I allegedly owe them together with documentary evidence. I don’t think that’s unreasonable is it? After all surely they just want the money? Police job looking shaky. Because of past history of depression (caused by toxic employer, fixed by no longer being at toxic employer) Migraines (fixed with glasses), Tinnitus (caused by F1 engines, not a major issue) and Crohns (have controlled it pretty well for 23 years) they may withdraw their offer. This is despite my GP signing me off as fit for the role. Apparently I may find it stressful - no shit Sherlock. You try dealing with some toff who has lost half a million quid and is less than chuffed. That’s stressful richardmorris and GrumpiusMaximus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy18s Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 So this happened yesterday,came out of a local supermarket to find bits of plastic scattered on the ground The Bulgarian guy who hit it was waiting to apologise,and wanted to sort it out as easily as possible to his credit. We ended up with a decent cash settlement, and a couple of bottles of his own brewed rakia that were "lying around his car" sdkrc, Remspoor, loserone and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
