Paste the text into notepad and you'll see the inappropriate characters/symbols. Delete them and it will post fine.

If they don't show up in Notepad, paste it a line at a time onto a console prompt and copy it back from there.

If it's Youtube comments, then it's the hard-return character which this forum doesn't like. You'll probably see it at the end of one of the lines.

I've always found them visible in Notepad.

ION: I overcooked some gnocchi and it was semi-mush. Will have to remember to be a bit more gentle next time.

I stick it into Notepad++ (bit OTT for some but it's a great tool)

Set it to show line endings and character encoding to ASCII works a treat, Macs use a special character for ' or ` and it messes up some databases

My Galaxy SIII packed in at the weekend (got stuck in a boot loop). Replacement turned up yesterday, it booted, I restored from the Cloud and was happy, then somebody called me, I couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me!

Called the T-Mobile call center and the guy's PC crashed twice, whilst trying to register my problem! I have to call again this morning and arrange another replacement.

This shift. Biggest FAIL day I've had at work in a very long time.
It seems no matter what I'm supposed to check today, it's broken/off-line/down/otherwise needing attention.
This is only my second night by myself (8+(

I already expect to come back in later today to a telling-off, because I've likely done something wrong, or not done something I should've done.
*sigh*

There are days like that. Nothing that you can do to avoid it. Just treat it as life giving you a kicking! ;) You will get even one day.

I had a trip offshore like that in Nov 2010.
Fortunately I haven't had to deal with the potential problems with a cement job in water based polymer mud since....... until next week when I'm expecting to see one.
Thankfully this time I'll have the right chemicals on board to deal with any issues, not to mention a senior guy the other shift.

The bonnet opens before the car hits the back of the cab.
What's that about?

Looks like the front bumper (so presumably the bonnet catch) is missing before it moves

There's a lot odd about that video, but at least it's another Beamer trashed. :D

As it's getting towed it's probably broken down. It wouldn't be too much to assume that the bonnet has been opened.
