    Car dealerships !! Once they have your money they dont give a s*** about you. The one Im dealing with is a s*** show, after sales service is the worst ever,

    Any time i contact them they will ring me back but never do and there have been a few recalls from them but you'd think i was the one looking for it .. i f****** hate dealing with them and they bring out the cross lady in me !

    On the plus side, you'll survive anything other than a direct hit.

    Cowboys, the lot of them. The ones I dealt with damaged my car, lied about what was covered and the length of the insurance and backed out of the roadside assistance they had promised (read: included in writing).

    It depends on where you are. Over here it's been dull, grey and wet for the past week or so. We had a couple of hours' respite but then the drizzle started again, so no drying clothes on the line despite the gale.

    Adobe. What an absolute sh*teball of a product. I work in a big company so our license will be fully paid for and the stupid thing just never works.

    I only use the reader as I don't need to amend docs, but at least three times a day it just refuses to work. Currently I have rebooted my laptop three times and still the only way I can see a document is if I email it to myself and preview it in the email, which means you can't copy text from it.

    I ctrl alt dlt my pc today and there were 24 instances of it running, each of them saying a critical error had occurred.

    I really don't understand why the world uses this crap product so much.

    Sadly teams seems to going the same way too lately. Dear software companies, stop fecking breaking our stuff!!!

    A few years ago Oracle stopped working. I remembered that that morning there had been an Acrobat update. I went to the computer settings, clicked on Acrobat and then "Repair", rebooted, and suddenly Oracle started working again. You never know what connections these yokes have in the background.

    Spring has definitely sprung. Had a bluebottle in the house approximately a nanosecond after opening the back door earlier and a fruit fly in my wine practically before I was finished pouring the glass just now.

    On zoom meetings all day in work and no time to get actual work done.

    Then on a zoom meeting after work for something else.

    Technology just creates more **** to deal with.

    And you know they now even have technology to be an avatar on the meeting for you and summarise the meeting for you.

    Meanwhile, nothing gets done and everyone's burned out..

    Blue Nun, German white wine. Huge brand of the 1970s when it was sweeter then fell out of fashion. Brand still going with much better wine in it though sells a fraction of what it did.

    This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location.

    Decided to get myself a Dremel tool. Agonised over whether to buy the genuine thing or a chinese knock off. Eventually decided to get a genuine Dremel. Picked the one I thought would be best which was mains powered then thought maybe a battery one would be more handy. After reading specs and weighing up the pros and cons decided to "up buy" and go for the top of the range Dremel battery powered tool.

    As will already be obvious I've had to bin that plan :-(

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    The weather in Dublin at the moment is alternating between 20 minutes of brilliant sunshine followed by 20 minutes of windy cold rain. Rinse and repeat. I wish it would make up its mind. It's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde weather.
