Have they stopped now?

I think they have! Very annoying.

Purple Mountain · 16-05-2023 11:42PM

I have quartet screen ads for Curry's which you have to X out to close.

They obscure the bottom of the screen.

I was out doing a bit of weeding today.

There are two beds here and one is over run with creeping buttercups.

The roots on those bad boys are very strong, you need strength and muscle to yank them up.

Some people day leave them but the problem is they smother all the flowers/plants.

Has anyone any tips on how to deal with it?

A few will need a spade to get the roots out.

This plant is everywhere and covers everything else if you let it. PITA.

Look at that face 😍😍😍😍😍

Alfie! Auto, how is he doing?

smurfjed · 17-05-2023 01:32PM

Alfie's eyes are beautiful. Feel so sorry for the poor guy.

smurfjed · 17-05-2023 01:33PM

@thomil the start of 2023, this was a new place for me.

thomil · 17-05-2023 02:32PM

Looks like Gaborone airport to me. That one always stood out to me as one of the better-developed airports in Sub-Saharan Africa, being a newly designed field with things like full-length parallel taxiways and so on.

Thank you.

It's this fella who is plaguing me...

Tour of the country courtesy of irish rail who have the most inflexible flexible ticket system known to man or beast.

smurfjed · 17-05-2023 08:31PM

@thomil excellent guess as usual :)

Given the size of Ireland, you’d think having a good integrated, reliable and efficient rail system in terms of ticketing and operating might not be too difficult but… Ireland ehhh.

Gremlinertia · 17-05-2023 08:42PM

I put it in TA yesterday but I'm so disappointed about the flexibility bit.

Someone is at the sherry 😂

Who? Me?

I aim to please 😁

Purple Mountain · 18-05-2023 12:54AM

Who will visit me in the Dochas when I murder someone, fuelled by the constant Curry's ad at the bottom of my phone screen?! 🙏

smurfjed · 18-05-2023 05:41AM

@thomil I really don't know how you do that, you are right every time :)

thomil · 18-05-2023 09:25AM

Honestly, a lot of times, I just get lucky and there are enough clues to get me to the right area. But Gaborone is genuinely one of those I definitely remember. It got a lot of coverage in German aviation magazines a few years back, and that stuck in my head.

Anyway, deskside here. Most of my regions are off today, so I'm hoping for a quiet day...

I'm here skitting 🤣🤣

smurfjed · 18-05-2023 02:19PM

@thomil here is the last one for this week. 6 countries in a week isn't bad but you have previously guessed the other 4 places last year.

thomil · 18-05-2023 03:07PM

That looks a whole lot like Windhoek's main international airport but I can't for the life of me think of the name of that place...

SuperBowserWorld · 18-05-2023 04:04PM

The news from Ireland is pretty disturbing these days. The amount of anger and hate and violence towards others. And people recording it and posting it on social media. I am really shocked at how brutal people can go. On top of all the other shite in this country. And the amount of sheer animal cruelty and brutality. It's like we've gone mad as a nation. The richer and more knowledgeable we become, the more this becomes unacceptable to me.

Ok. Exhale.

I hate those ****** pop up ads when I'm trying to type.

100% correct again.

Have a friend living here who decided 3 years ago to quit his job as an airline chef at the age of 32 and train to be a pilot. He is now building hours flying tourists to safari lodges and loving it, although the salary is $400 a month. I’m so delighted to see someone following a dream and succeeding.

Gremlinertia · 18-05-2023 06:31PM

Yikes that pay is scary, is it enough to keep them going?

On my way to work here.. I need tea and sleep.

Duvet Day · 18-05-2023 07:45PM

Don't want to be a moaner but those fcuking ads are pushing me over the edge, ffs.
