banana spliting Windows 10.

Pop ups telling you to update. The update takes ages. Asks again to enable all their spyware gooseberry fool. Disable everything and check settings and somehow some of it is still enabled. Added an Edge shortcut to my desktop. Re-enabled all my disabled audio devices and changed the default. Right click menus in taskbar are now the stupid touch friendly monolithic pieces of gooseberry fool with dumbed down options. Removed control panel from the start menu.

It beggars belief how they continue to actively make it more and more gooseberry fool.

WIN + R, control, RETURN.

Don't think I've used the start menu for about 15 years, keyboard is king!

The windows + X menu is where they've removed it from.

And I'm not stupid, I can still get to it. It just bugs me that they keep stripping away advanced user stuff so old grannys and idiots don't get confused.

They aren't removing advanced stuff as much as building more into the settings app and universal search. Generally you can get whatever you want by just typing it with start open.

Blimey that's bad if they were in the fridge! I'd take them back that can't be heat related if they are in a fridge.

Moths.

There is big strawberry float off moth in my kitchen right now, flapping about like a bitch and freaking me out. This isn't just some piddly little thing, we're talking proper Mothra territory here, I'm going to need to put a call in to Godzilla to sort this gooseberry fool out.

I strawberry floating hate moths.

Sounds like a elephant moth, not quite Mothra but close.

Speaking of food going off in the heat, Tesco had managed to forget to punch holes in a packet of parsnips today, so they had fermented into cider in the bag. Not quite what we had in mind for dinner.

There was one on my bus into work this week. Was strawberry floating huge. The lady it was flapping behind lost her gooseberry fool, ran down to sit at the bottom of the bus :lol:

At least once it eventually rains the air should start to clear.


I'd worry more about the novichok than any of that. :dread:


This morning i'm not so sure, the town has been blanketed in thick smoke.

Oh god yes! There's a similar one done by another company too which is just as bad.

Not this morning, i think the wind direction changed and has blown the salisbury plain grass fire smoke in this direction as over the last week or so there have been other towns similarly affected.

Is that the Giffgaff one with the woman who looks like a girl's school bully circa 1996?
