Is it random, or when you do something in particular?
Has anything changed recently on it, updates or installed anything new?

It was grand til I connected to the wifi in my new place. Won't even turn on now, just straight to the blue screen.

26sdrawkscab how annoying. My surgery is the same it's a bit much to expect you to sit for hours with a sore back

I ended up in A & E late last year with pnemonia. I spent the first night there on a trolley in the A & E Department while they tried to sort a bed for me. I have never been so sick, the pain in my chest and side was so bad I could barely move and when I did I was crying out in pain. And yet, I was put under immense pressure to move to some kind of holding lounge where they wanted me to sit in a CHAIR for up to 4 hours:rolleyes: Even lying down was a chore but to expect someone suffering with severe pneumonia to sit in a chair is disgraceful.

Short story: the HSE

Vel that's horrendous

Is there a WiFi switch on the laptop, if there is try turning that off to see if the machine boots up that way.
Otherwise you'll have to try to boot in Safe Mode. Delending on your machine, you hold down one of the F buttons while the laptop is starting.

Practically having to beg the secretary for an appointment with my GP after explaining I was rear ended on Thursday.
"You can go to the clinic, there's 3 doctors on" - oh yeah, sitting waiting for an indefinite time (usually no less than an hour) sounds fúcking ideal in my condition.
This fúcking country!!

No i the GPs not pulling their weight. and is why A and E is in such trouble. Read the thread on health science that GP do not even do simple stitches because they dont know how. I have come to the conclusion that all they do is refer on and write prescriptions, grumble re being called out even when they are being heftily paid for night emergency duty and demand that elderly patient attends surgery in bad weather just so they can charge extra before issuing a repeat scrip,, try complaining and they drop you off their list and then no one wants you,:rolleyes: HSE allocate and they refuse.. I have five medical cards here now. Rant over! Go to A and E!

Actually the receptionist in our doctors surgery is the problem as well, she is like a guard dog, you just can't get anything past her. The only thing is she keeps everything private.

We had to change our doctor a few years ago because the doctor couldn't control his secretary, she used to discuss peoples problems with other patients. I left after something which I wanted to keep private was discussed with a family member. It was more then trivially annoying at the time.

The dragons! Where do they train these women! Last year one countermanded the medical instructions of the dr to my detriment.

More than TA that I have constant Tinnitus in my ear today. Enough already!

What?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 09-02-2015 03:39PM

Waiting 3 hours for a text with my new car registration number so I can change insurance for tomorrow morning. Just a TA, as the excitement was building because it arrived a month early but as time drags on now I just wish they'd text. I keep checking the phone every few minutes in case I missed the alert and can't concentrate on chores in the meantime.

Another TA is the abysmal mobile phone coverage for a radius of 2 miles around the house.

I thought this the reg would only take a few minutes to do Jaxen Curved Shaver? If you had a spare 1000e you could have booked a number..Huge TA in our house that the cost jumped from 350 to 1000e to order a number..its robbery:mad:
Happy motoring and keep her between the ditches

I thought so too and it was very swift any other time. Hence the anxiety and TA at this stage. I'll give it another half hour and maybe give them a call but I know people are busy and it can be a TA to them if they are badgered about something they may be working on.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 09-02-2015 04:30PM

Aaaah!!! Turns out it's the first of a new engine and the motor tax office will take at least 24 hours to process - it would be me! - so now it will probably be Wednesday or even Thursday. Had they said Thursday this morning I would have been chuffed but building me up like that! TA indeed.

MsBubbles · 09-02-2015 05:30PM

Congratulations on the new car Srameen. I'm annoyed for you it's taking longer than expected.

Rubberlegs · 09-02-2015 05:32PM

The young one threw her hardback A3 sketch pad into my shopping bag, and now my naan breads are in pieces

Menas · 09-02-2015 05:32PM

TA that Srameen has a new car and I am stuck in my old one. Its just not fair.

MsBubbles · 09-02-2015 05:35PM

73Cat she's done you a favour, bite size naan bread pieces.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 09-02-2015 05:38PM

TA that the ankle that I broke is still so swollen I can't get proper knee high boots to fit me, that will zip up over the ankle. I went up a size, my left leg floating around in it, and the zip barely would go over my ankle.

You just knuckle down and work hard and someday the dream lifestyle may be yours too.

Not a hope. I drove an electric car for a few weeks about four years ago and suffered from the dreaded range anxiety.

Insignia 2 litre diesel I'm afraid.

all this 50 shades of sh1te hype.

Pumpkinseeds · 09-02-2015 06:47PM

All of the casual racism and bigotry floating around on social media since the Charlie Hebdo incident is pissing me off. It'd be really great if people just grew the frick up and realised that all it does is encourage people to join the nut job jihadists.

Can we bring in these road signs ?

£100 fine for using the outside lanes in U.K (afik) but you wouldn't think so by the amount of yellow reg plates that use outside lanes here, or do they come over here to cut loose, Should bring it in over here too, a great revenue maker and lorries/hgv's could be fined double for continuous driving in centre and treble for being in third lane, :mad: doing 80kmh...

People who never shut up during a lecture. If I'm gonna pay the guts of 9 grand for a course, i'd like to do it in a peaceful quiet environment.

Also that particular brand of mature student who asks silly questions every lecture and tutorial without reading the notes properly. There is always one!! For the record, i'm not judging all mature students, as i know they are only a minority and I'm one of the grumpy ones:P

TA....the grass is growing like wildfire again! Hate having to mow it. Such a pain in the Aras.

Anyway, the weeds won't be long now too. Feckers.

I need to get the garden low maintenance. But it's big. 90ft long. Feck.

Anyone any ideas?

(move house I suppose, but I love it here!)

Sheep's!!!

OK, you are welcome to come over and dig it up and re seed it for me!

Sounds like a big job.

I would pay someone to do it, but haven't a clue where to start looking for a reliable grass cutter!

It's not that I am incapable or anything, just takes up too much of my valuable time! Mind you, when the grass is cut and edged and all the rest of it, it does look good.....

But I don't :P

You must have a teenage boy neighbour who would be happy with a tenner every couple of weeks for a bit of mowing?

A piddling 90ft? My lawn alone 120x180. I'll swap you.
The weeds grew all winter - as they will.
Grass shouldn't be growing until a succession of days with the ground temp above 6 degrees?
Where are you? Florida?
