Firefox upgrading and disabling NoScript, ABP, and FB Purity has being "incompatible" has annoyed me beyond reason today.

Update: Apparently a defect at Mozilla's end due to an expired signing certificate. Which equally annoys me beyond reason

Mine are working again now. Thought I'd have to find alternatives for a moment, which would have been very annoying indeed.

Got back today. Card on the mat. My parcel is "on top of the blue bin". My son says "I can't remember seeing a parcel there" and he has to get past the bin to get his bike in/out of the garage twice a day.

I check inside the blue (recycling) bin. Rummage around a little, and there it is. A cardboard box in a bin full of cardboard boxes ready for the recycling. Just as well my oaf of a son forgot to put the blue bin out this week, eh?

But hey? I have the parts I need, and there is no need to make a trip to the delivery office. Every cloud, etc, etc...

You know that little card they leave you. There is an option on the right hand side to have it redelived on a day that suits you, either to your home address or a neighbours.If you not sure what time your postie arrives call the delivery office and they should give you a rough estimate of when hes going to get to you.

Posts that convey the exact opposite of the intended sentiment.

And singular nouns that are written when the plural would be appropriate.

And double negatives.

(Sorry Bob, it's nothing personal. I blame my primary school teacher for my obsessive attention to grammatical detail.)




And sentences that begin with "and".

And incomplete sentences.


And the bloody cat that is outside all day, then craps in the litter tray five minutes after she comes into the house.

What is wrong with that, you want a cat you clean its crap up. Not really fair to have you cat leaving its crap in other peoples gardens.

While that sounds like sage advice, on the extremely rare occasions that I’ve tried to call my local sorting office, I’d have had more chance of getting through to the Pope, whose phone # incidentally isn’t VAT 69.
As an aside, I’m still trying to understand how cmvtec could openly admit on a public forum that he or she would shoplift if the “using your own bag” icon didn’t work.

The "things that, quite reasonably, annoy you" thread is that way. >>>>>>>

I haven’t got a cat, but I like them.
I get the distinct impression that no matter how politely you’d try to tell your cat not to crap in neighbouring gardens, he or she would look at you, miaow, and think, “No go on, I give up, you may as well be speaking Swahili.”

Indeed. It's something Mozilla would have needed to fix as a matter of priority and it looks like they have.

Neighbours bd cats use my back garden as a litter tray. Considered posting it back to them through their letter box but the Mrs won't let me

It will if you cut it into small enough pieces first.

I'm not really a shoplifter.

You're not a Bot, right?



No, no I'm not. However, sometimes I wish I was then I might find it possible to actually click on that box and proceed to the payment page. Never mind, I'll phone the box office tomorrow, or the day after, or completely forget until the tickets have sold out.

I totally accept that you aren’t, but I feel that even as a joke, it’s a tad unwise to declare that you contemplate being one, although it didn’t seem like you were saying you were proud of it.
Occasionally you read posts where people openly declare that they’ve not bought a TV licence for years, and that when reminders arrive, they go straight in the trash, good luck getting away with it, but I don’t get the boasting about it, I reiterate, you weren’t boasting.

But not wishing to generalise, naturally.
