I probably hadn't,I just fancied throwing out a few reps and negs for a change. A bit like the 'blue balls' of the negging world needing preventing.

It's pretty normal by TLW standards I'd say.

Firefox having issues with add-ons but not telling you what the issue is or which ones are affected.

 

The browser has crashed a few times in the past couple of weeks, and it causes the whole system to crash so you have to do a forced reboot. Googling the possible causes, the most frequent suggestion was that add-ons were not compatible. When you then check that Firefox and its add-ons are up to date, it tells you that all is OK. It crashed again this morning so after rebooting, I uninstalled it and downloaded it off their website to install again. You lose your bookmarks (though these are easily recoverable), layout settings and add-ons when you do this though. Getting the bookmarks back was easy enough. Tweaking the layout to what it was before was easy enough. When trying to get the add-ons though, I noticed that some of them either no longer existed (eg, Adaware Plus), or the add-on info page carried a warning saying the latest versions of Firefox don't support it (eg, Thumbnail Zoom). I've found equivalent add-ons and installed them and all is running fine now. Quicker in fact.

 

If Firefox are having issues with add-ons, they need to be better at informing the users.

Was tidying the kitchen yesterday and I had two empty large gin bottles that had been in the cupboard for weeks, no idea why I hadn't binned them so I took the out front to the end of my drive to put in my recycling bin.

 

So there I am barefoot, unshaven  wearing just a pair of shorts carrying two big green gin bottles at two in the afternoon right as the google maps van drives past.

You may end up as the anti-lockdown poster boy.

Reminded me a bit of Glenn from The Thick of It.

I was ( may still be ) on Google Maps crossing Castle St with a pastie from Greggs in my hand. As my diet is not great at the best of times I have taken inordinate stick over it from ex-colleagues.

There's something that twats have been doing for years, but it's become ubiquitous during the lockdown: starting an email with something like "I hope you're well?"

 

What the fuck is the question mark doing there? It's not a fucking question. If you hope someone is well, just state it and leave them in no doubt.

Lots of email signatures with ‘stay safe’ in them nowadays.

End them with "put yourself in harms way"

Fucking one way systems in shops that look like they were put down by someone following a bluebottle fly.  

 

Regardless im still passing people, the one way makes no fucking sense i could of swerved all these fuckers and gone straight for what I wanted.

People saying "literally" as a filler word in every fucking sentence. It used to mean a metaphorical thing that actually happened so the opportunity to use it in day to day speech was pretty limited. If you stepped out of your front door and a cat fell on your head you could say "Oh my it's literally raining cats and dogs" and that would be both quite funny for the causal observer and more importantly the correct usage of the word. Now people just say it all the time and its meaning has been lost. Bloke in my office says "I'm literally e mailing you this now" . No you're not, you're just e mailing me you illiterate cunt. It drives me fucking mad and don't get me started on "like" instead of "said". That's another one.  There, I feel much better now I've got that out there. 

 

You are literally too late for this complaint as it’s so 2014!

People who can't walk in a straight line. I'm a reasonably fit bloke and like to proceed on my errands in town at a brisk pace. This is impeded by slow fuckers who weave all over the pavement whilst staring blankly at their phones or listening to headphones. Couples holding hands are even worse. Just walk normally in straight line for fucks sake.  

Are you walking Hitler ?

Breaking down isn’t great at the best of times but driving back from me mums her clutch has just gone in her car. Right on the slip round off the 62 near Bowring park. She’s rang the breakdown and got the worlds most docile brummy who took an age getting us someone. Now a police car has pulled up behind us and after chatting with us is now sat behind us incase anyone crashed into us. I won’t be getting home for the first half. Fucking fuck off 

 

I just hope their isn’t some Raoul Moat fucker looking for police to shoot

Carol Malone. I wouldn't even enter a conversation with her, I would turn around and walk away forever. She's mind blowingly grating.

A dirty sounding 'breathy' bye at the end of a phone conversation. People talk perfectly normally for the whole call then when it comes to saying goodbye they change tone of their voice. You either get a high pitched "bye" or multiple "bye bye byes" or the worse a breathy bye said in a tone that is normally used by coked up Russian prostitutes whispering filthy suggestions in your ear in dodgy strip clubs. I really don't want the fat middle aged women from HR talking to me like that. Even worse if its another chap. Just say goodbye in the same fucking tone of voice that you have used for the rest of the  preceding conversation. 

Its a sigh that you weren't meant to hear I expect.
