When every few weeks my PC's anti-virus scan inexplicably takes 5x longer than usual to complete
Usually completes in about 40 mins - so far it's been going an hour and is only 65% done
I've been running without anti virus software for 10 years. Unless you're prone to clicking on viagra emails or browse nice pr0n content, I don't think it's much of a problem these days.Usually completes in about 40 mins - so far it's been going an hour and is only 65% done

Those who take the second newspaper from the pile. OK, if the top one is damaged, fine, but if it's not, Why?
I'm sorry, but I do that all the time. The top copy may have been touched by, y'know, other people. Or worse, they've picked it up to flick through it and licked their fingers to turn the pages. No thanks.bernhund said:
Obviously this only occurs when I use other people's lavatories. We wipe our arses with kittens in our house.
You wipe yourself ... how uncouthOn a different note ... when the Mrs complains she hasn't slept properly in days (from me sleeping restlessly) so you offer to sleep on the sofa for one night and she gets all annoyed at you being selfish for wanting to let her sleep peacefully! International women's day ... more like international irrational overreaction women's day in the X5 household!

I'm annoyed that the voiceover man on "Antiques Road Trip" is forced to point out that whichever classic car they're swanning around in was made before seatbelts were compulsory, in case Mr Angry from Norwich writes in to complain.
Heh, I heard that one as well! I wonder if they took the DKW round Jim Clark's old haunts in Berwickshire; it was in a similar type of car that he began his racing career.Drummond Baize said:

In fairness, it probably saves them a s
t-tonne of complaints by doing so.

Football totally dominates it - £1.7 BILLION pounds a year to show Football, I know it has huge fan numbers who'll pay through the arse to watch their team.
What annoys me is the way Sky and BT snatch up less popular sports like F1 and MotoGP and throw them in the mix, Sky is paying £35m a year from 2019 for F1 - 2% of the cost of the Premiership, MotoGP was probably £5m a year, if that - but I still have to pay the same to watch it.

Yup - TV execs who totally fail to understand that many people who want to watch motorsport have absolutely no interest in football - to them it's all the same, it's'sport innit'Football totally dominates it - £1.7 BILLION pounds a year to show Football, I know it has huge fan numbers who'll pay through the arse to watch their team.
