Well worth installing the free one

What virus is it? You can look it up and see if you can remove it another (free way) Just be careful before diving too deep into the operating system.

Speaking of viruses, I have just tested positive for Covid.

I had it last March but generally just felt a bit under the weather. However this time I feel like death. I thought I had a cold from about last Tuesday but I normally start to feel better after a couple of days but instead I was getting worse. I couldn't even sweep the garden today, absolutely no energy at all and keep feeling like I'm going to pass out.

My wife has it as well however she isn't quite as bad as me.

Hopefully we will both start to feel better in the next few days.

Oooof that rear wheel bearing is shagged. I'll replace that..... 

Caliper bolts say no.... 

Carrier bolts say no... 

Bearing says fuck off I'm not coming out without a war..... 

Battle ensues - war won..... 

Car says - fuck you - now listen to the other bearing grumbling...... and the bushes knocking... and the shocks.... and...... and.....

Am I the only one who finds the way Coke have started physically attaching the caps to the bottles so they get recycled together absolutely infuriating?

I just want to drink it, not get poked in the eye by it if out walking, or have the cap flop down and spray it all over the table if pouring it into a glass.  

Went to just pull one off and the plastic just sliced straight into the side of my finger so there's now blood everywhere... that'll teach me apparently.

Seriously... can't they just print something prominent to tell folks it can be recycled with the cap on now (which has been the case for plastic bottles for everywhere I've ever had recycling from home anyway)?  No, we need to make life difficult on account of those who can't read apparently.

I don't drink coke because pepsi max is far superior but schweppes do this on their tonic and it's really awkward to pour the tonic out of the bottle without the top flapping round in the way. What a shit idea. First thing I do when I open one is snap it off, but sometimes it's actually held on their pretty well.

I cant help falling into the conspiracy ring when I have just found out that a news blackout of train crash in Ohio on the 3 Feb is now coming to light. All about balloons or UFOs, was that a look over there moment? 

This is from the CSpan the US government website. The US transport secretary made this video published 13 Feb  with not a word about the accident.

Not sure I should be grumpy as I'm very lucky to be here I guess but I've gone to Disneyland Paris this week with my family, over £3000 to go to a overpriced, overhyped, overrated theme Park with far too many people, average hotel rooms (with chewing gum up the door and someone hair stuck in it, we did get a new room though) and queues that take forever to move, especially with a 5 year old who has ADHD trates. 

I'm struggling to see the appeal with the place if I'm honest, also has this Corvette that people was walking into with bags and leaning against that was covered in scratches 

And this 50s Dodge that's used for keeping cheese om

[ruffgeezer]

Aye, they are gouging cunts @trigger,  I remember getting rushed around £40 for a McDonald's for 2 adults and 2 kids whilst here, and that was one of the cheap options!

We took a backpack down to each buffet breakfast and made picnic lunches whilst there, guerilla style. Saved us a fortune!

I remember going there as a child, I must only have been 9 or 10 and thinking "fuck me this place is grotty". I was born in 1985 and the place opened in 1992 so it can't have been open for more than a few years at the time, I dread to think what it's like nearly thirty years later!

 

[trigger]

To be fair its pretty clean considering the size of the place so I can't knock it for that, but I do know how it feels for a cow now queuing up to be slaughtered and thinking being slaughtered is actually a appealing option rather than doing all that again...

Not like there was anything toxic on that train, like Vinyl Chloride or anything. Oh wait...

They also burned it to get rid of it.

 

I've seen some snippets of coverage of it on reddit, as in videos submitted by people living there. Nothing from actual news stations whatsoever though.

If you watch that to the end, there's another vid that shows;

It won't let me post a link directly to it tho' ?

@Cluffy has informed me that fish & chips from our local is now ten pounds.

Ten quid!

I know: inflation, cost of living, energy prices etc etc.

But also, fuck off Tories and Brexit. Without which it'd still be a fiver.

It was cash only too and only thought I had a £20 note. I was relieved to find a pound coin in my wallet so I could pay jeremy Hunt for some curry sauce as well...

Problems with your tonic water, i think you might be on the wrong forum 🧐 !!

[Remspoor]

What I think @Supernaut should have said was that the MSNs are late in reporting this.  Both of teh examples given are dated 10 days later.  That should have been "breaking news". There was some sort of news blackout. I found out only by chance because some one sent me the twitter handle. I can only find something in the Daily Fail in the UK.

Look at this from Tory-graph screenshot. Nothing at all, just balloons and a few other bits and bobs including stoned dogs.

It's been £10 around here for a while now. Interestingly, one pla(i)ce nearby had a newspaper cutting on the window about 12-18 months ago forecasting exactly that.
