Re: Obituaries

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories
And feel their warmth
And know that they are good

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

I don't drive, but I'm sure I would be fine driving as well, I certainly meet the requirements for the UK driving license (I just checked). I get on fine without glasses for most of my "day to day" stuff. I have the text on my smart-phone set to a bigger size so I can use that without glas...

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

Booked in for cataract surgery next Thursday. I'm only ( ;) ) 53! I really, really hope it is the right decision... I had mine done aged 49, had to be done because I couldn't see the computer screen anymore and I work all day in front of a screen. Was quick and painless, and replacing my expensive ...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

Hey Fruity, it's fine, I get it, if it works for you then it works. Like I said there is nothing wrong with ABP, I just don't agree with them because the concept of "acceptable ads" doesn't work for me.

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

There are no great problems with ABP if you can accept their philosophy, but I don't and won't use it because of their "acceptable ads" policy. The problem with it is it allows ads from syndicated advertising networks and every single one of them has at some time or another served up malwa...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

Because I disagree with the reasons google are doing this and because Origin lite really isn't as good. It blocks more of the stuff I want to see and less of the stuff I want to filter (And it has to because of the design changes google made). Although that is irrelevant, the flummox would have been...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

I'm changing web-browser today because Chrome no-longer supports the ad-blocker that I use. In the process I have had to re login to a bunch of sites. Grr. How hard is it when a site sends me a confirmation code via email to not include a space at the end and/or make the stupid verification form ign...

Re: Why are you happy today?

Today is a big day in our house, my youngest has been transitioning his gender (F->M) for a few years, and today the state has finally recognised his right to live as a man. He has officially changed his name and gender markers and the application for new ID papers is on its way. It's been a rough r...

Re: Let's talk about EV's

Musk has a transgender son. I wonder if this is the reason he's anti woke, embracing Trump and AfD. No he has a transgender daughter who was assigned male at birth. He is on record as saying that is why he is anti-woke. Yet another example of what a horrid little man he is in my opinion. I understa...

Re: Blackview [Chinese mobile phone brand]

Interesting those of you who have reported such things and gotten no useful feedback. I haven't reported anything like this to Amazon since about 2017 but when I did, I got a short email saying "Thankyou for your report, we will investigate" and then the item listing was removed within 3 d...

Re: Blackview [Chinese mobile phone brand]

Dodgy AF but not uncommon.
Tell amazon, they will be interested.

Also if it really pisses you off, then send it back to amazon under your 14-day distance-selling rights and post a 1 star review saying exactly what you said here.

Re: German word of the day

The joke here is that men spend stupid amounts of money on fireworks.
He has bought a ton of explosives for NYE but is hiding the money he spent by lying to his wife about the cost of butter.

Re: Car insurance: why does my premium go up?

How do you know how many people with the same category of car as you made claims? Similarly you got 1 year older, so you might now be in a different risk bracket (It's not linear). Or it might be that they got some shiny new "AI" risk analysis software and that found you belonged in a diff...
