Random Irritations

Driving home last night (well after dark) saw a fella on moped zipping across lanes and through traffic riding one handed... why one handed, cos he was using the other hand to reach behind to hold onto his rear light and keep it in place!

And he wasn't the worst two-wheel manic last night
 
Yes I know it is a cunning ploy and not a big deal - but when I load the Forum and too quickly go to click on New Posts - the page load pauses then shifts down and I my click ends up on Gift Subscription. Yes I know - cunning ploy to tempt me into buying a subscription.
 
GM privacy bar, that has gone from an accept/don’t accept bottom of the page to a full page accept option only that won’t go until you give it the answer it wants.
My original response still stands GM, and no attempts to make me choose something you want will change that.

Now withdrawn...
Sort of...

Another Donald in the making...
Believing is own hype...

Damage to the bloke is already done though. It was a heck of an accusation to make, couldn't get much worse and an apology a few days later is close to useless. Seems to be purely because he questioned whether Musk's toy sub could really save the day. Sad to say that the analogy with Trump seems quite a good one.
 
My in laws. FiL has been caught again by phone scammers, 'sir there is a problem with your computer'. He gives them full access, away they go. We have got him to cancel all of his bank cards but he still doesn't think there was an issue, 'he said he was from BT'. Can't tell you how many times he has rung me with similar scenario's and I have told him it's a scam. It has been a regular conversation, regular warnings but he will not listen, will not be told. Drives me nuts.

The people making these calls are scum, absolute scum but the FiL is a stubborn plank.

Crazyface, are you there. I'm feeling your pain today. Hope your situation is going okay.

Sounds like you should just unplug his phone and have done with. :lol:

His phone, his router, his bank cards :D. We have power of attorney set up but not enacted, took him 3 years to agree to that. He would go off the scale if we did it whilst he is still mentally stable. He is just vulnerable and susceptible, no illness yet, but will not accept that and take the help or advice we can offer. We are incredibly patient with him but today is a day that has just wound me up. I am venting on here as therapy :D

My nan is similar at the moment. She was the classic dutiful wife, so since Grandad died several years ago her brain has gone a bit do-lally. She still lives alone though in a house, my mum and auntie are trying to change that I think but she's still not having it at the moment.
 
Sky showing players on the range or putting green prior to play with a score - "Par" against their name.
Haha. That reminds me of when you're watching the first match of the football season, someone scored and they put up a caption saying "1st goal this season". No **** Sherlock!
 
TdF idiot spectators...

They are crazy and dangerous. I wonder if Froome waited to make an attack until he was on the stretch with barriers. Not sure he'd fancy being isolated with the amount of nutters baying for his blood.

Oh - just read - for BiM that's not given much away...
