Of Windows 10 yep. It's our standard troubleshooting at work and cures 90 % of issues, the other 10% mean directory and kernel hunting

Sh*te cheese screws. I knew the screws that hold the rear fairing on were tight so I put my full weight on the impact driver and used a nice sharp new bit but it just twisted out the centre of the damned screw so now it is down to the Dremel and manual impact driver/club hammer. If they had used copper grease, cheese screws would have been OK.

Next time don't put any weight or pressure on the impact.
Pressing down or turning. That's usually what strips screws out and breaks bits.
Just make sure you have the correct bit, hold it in place and give it a few licks from the hammer and be amazed.

Bus late, train delayed, tube strike and it's raining. Plus one of the cats managed to get the cupboard door open, tore into a packet of Dreamies and then barfed them all up again on the carpet, when he could have at least done it on any of the wooden floors or gone outside.

Roll on the weekend.... Oh, I forgot, I'm working

Grrrrrrr

Nice, enjoy.


Best get the bike out to go to work, and get rid of the cat. Mangy things anyway.

We have 2 dogs and one carpet. I can't think of a single occasion when they've been sick anywhere other than on the carpet. I think they actually run off upstairs just to puke on it.

Quorn.

Deduced that I am quorn intolerant. It's taken years as I don't often eat the stuff because I don't like it, so it's not a major loss. But the intolerance is horrendous and having Joe worked it out I've (obviously) Googled it. Now I find I am far from the only person and indeed there are calls to ban the stuff. They won't ban it because "it doesn't cause lasting damage"
