Well bugger that !

The amazing thing is how slooow photobucket now is to use and
maddeningly not as simple as it used to be to upload - I will never
pay them the ' bribe ' to allow me third party hosting -
Piracy , pure and simple

Exactly
They`re behaving in such a gangster manner for no worthwhile end result I`m surprised they haven't branched out into banking

Maybe they are working on their website to improve it?

IKEA.

I had to walk around one of these torture mazes at the weekend. I noticed a few lone women looking me up and down lustfully, which I found confusing, until I realised why: not because I am obscenely handsome (although I am, obviously), but because they were avariciously imagining how much more pointless crap they could acquire if they were married to me and could garnish both my wages and utilise my man strength to carry it.

So you walk through this maze of tedious homeware (with no exits until you reach the end), rictus grin slapped on my mush in case the wife glances at me, so I don't get accused of "not enjoying myself", as if that's a crime - how about 'there are a million things I'd rather be doing than this, like watching sport, reading, walking in the park, or stabbing myself repeatedly in the face with a blunt pencil. But I agree to come anyway, even though I don't enjoy it, because it's what you want. So why don't I get any flipping credit for it?'

After about 5 hours of what seems like a triathlon, we finally reach the end. I gratefully lug our purchases to the home delivery desk, where three (count them) employees man the completely customer-less kiosk. We are then informed by one of these three employees, that "the system is down so they can't arrange home delivery." Ok. Great. So what are we supposed to do? "*shrug* Why don't you get a taxi?" Tell you what, why don't YOU get a taxi, and pay for it to drive 200 miles there and back to our house, and compensate me for wasted time, while you're at it. So they offered us no solution except going to the customer service desk and being refunded on all the items. Which took another half an hour. And now I have to go back and do it all again next week.

Why I oughtta *shakes fist pointlessly at IKEA*

No ad-blocker on firefox 54.0.1 32bit just no script with all plugins disabled or removed

Allow the host script and forget the rest

Ads wont run if the script needed isnt allowed (with an occasional exception)

I get 1 ad (probably a pop-under) on 1 streaming site (x h a m ) when I log in

Live jasmin pops-up occasionally on 1 other site but everything else is history

I think all large hosts will go down this route sooner rather than later if bandwidth usage via download managers continues to rise.

Putting PB in context it has a 100+million users

First up, Barking dog update
Haven't heard the dog since the old bloke made the threat of leaving the gate open Looks like she's keeping it indoors, hope it shits all over whatever's in the house as flooring, hopefully carpet

The 'Man-bob' haircut.

For example:

If there's a cultural or spiritual significance to this then fine, otherwise I wouldn't have one because I don't want to walk around looking like medieval shogun!

Had the opposite annoying problem during my recent hospitalisation. They gave me a bottle but I just can't pee in a bed - have to stand up - but not allowed to stand up and, besides, wired up like a Christmas tree to a heart monitor.

In the end, the kind nurses wheeled me to the loo - embarrassing but got the job done.

Another incentive to get up and out as soon as was possible.
