Wouldn't actually be too difficult to do.

Maybe his name was Gunther.

On the subject of adverts

"Don't mind if I Bailey's"

Bailey's isn't a strawberry floating verb. Stop trying to make brands into verbs.

I haven't seen that one. Let me Google it.

Worst is that it bangs on about being inventive yet they have used the same strawberry floating advert for 5 years.

Having to deal with console fanboy-ism when you're a grown man. Jesus strawberry floating Christ

It’s quite depressing to see how territorial some people get with consumer goods.

I've actually got a headache now from the conversation I've just had. This gooseberry fool was embarassing at school let alone now.

Where did you bump into gamerforever?

I'd actually say it's worse than that.

Websites. So full of shite these days.

You navigate to a website and wait for about a week for it all to load. Instantly you're hit with a message about cookies, and of course if you want to opt-out you have to click off the page and manually untick several boxes or turn off toggles, whereas accepting everything is one click. And don't expect the site to remember your preferences, so be prepared to do this every time you visit the page. And then do the same on every other site you visit ever again.

When you actually start trying to use the site, you've barely moved the cursor before a pop-up asks you to complete a survey and rate your experience. Yes, I've been using the site for less than 10 seconds, I'm sure I can provide you with useful feedback on your site, its features, and your products. Click off that and find something you want to look at. Go to click on it, but an advert or other part of the page suddenly loads and the link moves, so you inadvertedly end up clicking on the advert. A new page opens and takes you to some shite you don't care about. Close that and go back to the page you were trying to browse. A chat window pops up with someone asking you if you need help. strawberry floating hell, how about you give me a chance first? Close the chat window. Scroll down the page, full of adverts, auto-playing videos, and new things loading all the time, so it's painfully slow. Close the page and wonder why you bothered, and why companies make their websites so horrible to use.

To never have to deal with the cookies message again, download the I don't care about cookies extension.

To block all the other gooseberry fool, download the uBlock Origin and AdBlock extensions.

You shouldn't have to take these measures to get a decent experience but hey.

The sewer drain replacement in my road is hopefully nearing completion now; it's due to finish this week. Good job, too, as I continue to be exasperated by the drivers who toot their horns when the vehicle at the front of the lights doesn't pull away within three milliseconds of the light turning green.

...it has been extended by a further four days
