    Usually if there are injuries or worse, they will shut the motorway until it's cleared, so maybe that's why.
    My bigger question, is why is Bill Gates there? Was it a vaccine chip gone wrong? Or did they discover it and had to be erased? Or am I just rambling on whithout a point?

    In all my time selling on Ebay I've had loads of moments that get me a bit irritated, expensive things being damaged, things lost in the post. people returning things because they change their mind and then making me pay the return postage and people trying to scam me.

    But its always the smallest things that seems to rub me up the wrong way and provoke the most extreme of reaction...

    Some bloke bought a ring from. me, US size 9 and cost them all of £5.. (trying to shift it on)

    Negative feedback because it was too small... YOU PICKED THE SIZE DUMMY!!

    Bought the Control making of collector's edition. 'Used - very good, moderate damage on cover'. What the actual f***, Amazon?!

    I don't know if you've noticed, but I think there may be some damage.

    So the job offer that I got on Friday last week has not appeared anywhere.

    Apparently it was only a "Verbal Offer" and the company decided that after "Verbally Offering" me the job would interview another person who said they might/would be able to relocate to another country, something that wasn't even mentioned on any of the interviews that I had.

    Now apparently they are "Looking" in to the "Logistics" around the "Relocation" of this other person.

    My boss is happy because it mean's I am not going anywhere at least for now, but I am seriously annoyed with that company and the "Recruitment" company because apparently they knew of this other person since Wednesday and kept telling me that I will be getting the "Official Offer" through any day and I only know that because I contacted another person at the recruitment company to see if they could help, get the "Offer" sent over etc.

    Just about to message the recruiter and tell them where to go.

    I was on my way back to the island from Scotland, when the I saw the overhead signs warning of a three hour delay between j11 and j6. I was lucky enough to bail out near Stoke and when through Derby to the M1 to continue south. It cost me an hour, but that's better than three!

    Sound advice for any time, let alone bad traffic.

    Not ruining, just a bit of disappointment. Diablo 2 Resurrected. Play a few hours yesterday and it was... meh at best. I didn't expect anything else, to be honest, but there was still a glimmer of hope deep down. It's been almost completely extinguished now.

    Good thing is that there's still Project Diablo 2, which is great and, even though it's not as pretty as D2R, is tons of fun.

    Kept seeing the ex wife at a festival, messes up the joy and puts anxiety into overdrive, solved that with abuse to the body, but that's all temporary.
    We should have been doing it together :sigh:

    My fancy new FTTP router supplied by Sky seems to have developed an infinite reboot loop.

    EDIT - Fixed by hard reset followed by factory reset.

    Entering week 4 going cold Turkey off Sertraline, emotions and empathy are well and truly back. Not really doing that great if I am honest but I guess I need more time. I didn't consult my GP about coming off.

    Hoping you lowered your dosage over time rather than just going full bore cold turkey :jawdrop:
    Even then it can be a rough old road coming off completely, and I was only on the stuff for a couple of years.

    That feeling you get when you drop several grand on a new watch, wait in all day like an excited puppy refreshing the UPS tracking every 15 minutes, and it still says delivery is expected today. At 21:15 at night.

    It's not coming today.

    :wallbash:
