Blooming railway. This morning there was a signal fault so I was waiting at Crawley for an hour. Then that train terminated at the next station because it was soo late. Fine, I can get a connection. 8 blooming coaches. Nightmare. It's busy as it is with the derailment yesterday. Plus severe delays. The train left leaving passengers on the platform. I squeezed on.

Just had one of these mobile emergency alerts, about made me jump out of my skin. :(

It was to do with wild fires (there are none around here).

My devices alarmed numerous times. I was travelling as they came in so too many other commuters. Annoying. I remember the test on three that didn't come through lol

I was hoping that with the hose pipe bans that pressure washers would plummet in price but that doesn't seem to have made any difference yet. I want one for the car and crappy patio.

Just checked and I thought it was way higher than 40% but that may have been the drought figure of 71%.

I think they're one of the ingredients for Voodoo and Black Magic, you may have to check facebook to see if there's someone offering potions for strange maladies . . . :shocked:

No stabbing pains, no strange warts appearing on any appendages, hair not falling out, Brandy isn't tasting like turps, and no ingrowing toe nails . . . do you have the right doll? :)

Unless you’re polydactyl and have webbed feet, it’s not based on you… ;)

Passport office want a full birth certificate to confirm my identity. I only have the red one that has my details on. So that's more waiting now. West-Sussex have a priority service for near £40. £12.50 standard service. They want my parents names on it, the full birth certificate.

My Amazon delivery driver looks like Bill out of Bill and Ted. I told and he checked him after never watching movie. Today I said oh he is also in The Lost Boys. He said "what's that?"

I was with a young adults group at church the other week and we were talking about a building over the road being used for filming a new drama … one of them read a list of actors who had been seen in town, and when he said “Josette Simon” I sighed happily, and then saw all their blank faces, started explaining “She was a rebel weapons expert in a science fiction show I used to love …” (realisation dawns) “… before anyone in this room was born.” :disturbd:

Felt very very old.

Trouble is that you know what you are going to say half the time. (Thank you Douglas Adams)

For some stupid (yet quite probably a fantastic bit of coding from experts) reason, I am now unable to see product reviews for items I *may* want to purchase.

My windows defender *spit* updated yesterday evening, which may be the culprit, but I also noticed my uBlock extension had completely disappeared from Vivaldi.

Fast approaching the decision to turn my back on the uncontrollable internet altogether, and return to a 'normal' life :mad:

I believe adblocks are not compatible with most chrome browsers now, still working on Firefox and mobile browsers though.

Carth 21-08-2026 17:10

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 
I don't think the adblocker is actually the reason why I can't see the reviews, that was just another annoyance. Funnily enough I've re-installed uBlock (origin lite) and it seems to be working :shrug:

I can also see reviews when using the TOR browser . . . which by default tends to block damn near everything

The whole interweb thing seems to be convoluted and screwed in the name of 'security' :rofl:

Jaymoss 21-08-2026 17:26

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 
I find a lot of browser in built security extras clash with other web objects they are not meant to . Brave for example is very fussy but blocks ads better than anyone else. I have found the Idonotcareaboutcookies extension breaks some sites totally.

Royal mail deliver stuff that isn't delivered and blame it on multiple postie's having different parcels. Huh . They have individual tracking numbers. Upon scan how can all parcels be delivered if they aren't scanned. They clearly have a system of all parcels due to be delivered then confirm all parcels if one of multiple items are delivered. I even asked the guy only one?

Sort it out Royal Mail!
