I just un-installed the now defunct Live Mesh from my PC.
Why fail? Because it appeared in add/remove programs about 30 times. One for each language! Most of which were Greek to me. They weren't even next to each other alphabetically, being listed under A for Active, C for Control, K for Kontrol, W for Windows and F for... some other foreign thing. I think I got them all. My add/remove programs list is now half the length!

I'm starting to think Sainsburys couldn't organise a piss-up in their own booze section - a book pre-ordered a month before winds up getting bought elsewhere due to delay, and now the same thing has happened with the sort of greatest hits CD you find in nearly every supermarket these days

I do the pre order thingy with Tesco because usually there are loads of bonus clubcard points and a price guarantee. A lot of the time I have the disc the day before official release or pretty close to it.

I'd used them before too, but apart from incorrect listings, I had to threaten them with Trading Standards just to get a reply from a human being after items went missing! Plus they often use Herpes (Hermes) as their courier. Never again, and I'd avoid them if I were you.

BT NI ad - quite apart from the seriously nervous actors, you're to believe that small boys connect enormous headphones to their mobiles and stream Duke Special (google him for a laugh)

I have been lucky when items do not arrive they generally send a replacement. I have not had any of those problems. I have a notice board with what I ordered on and tick it off when they notify me that they have been dispatched. The board gets wiped when it arrives. That way I can keep track of what is due. It helps in that I have cut down what I order so have few problems with missing items. Though as you say some couriers are bad I have found things left in gardens or on the street.

That's got to be some kind of "art" installation, surely? Any sane person would have hauled the bike out from the nice solid looking dirt either side of the path, and walked away that way as well.

I would think so too, but for the bad state of the grass around the path and the look of the area. It looks too run down to be an art installation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.

Objectively, the wheels of the bike don't fit with the tracks. Objectively, I don't know of any quick-setting concrete that dries quickly enough to stick a bike in mid-wobble. It's an art installation, or elaborate practical joke, crappy grass notwithstanding.

Much of my little corner of the internet seems to be unwell today. Plenty of pages don't load "server not responding" error messages abound. Oh well I probably don't need to know how overdrawn I am or why Iain Banks is dying. Sad news can wait.
