I pretty much agree with all of this and found I had the same problems, glad it's not just me.

Hopefully M$ can fix them, because there are still alot of things I like better than windows 10

  Brian May tests positive for covid

"Brian May has tested positive for COVID-19. Over the weekend, the Queen guitarist took to Instagram to share a post and pair of video messages detailing "Life After The Double Red Line."

"Yep. The shocking day finally came for me. The dreaded double red line," he captioned a photo of his positive test. "And yes - definitely NO sympathy please - it has been a truly horrible few days, but IÔÇÖm OK. And I will tell the tale. PLEASE take extra care out there, good folks. This thing is incredibly transmissible. You really do NOT want it messing up YOUR Christmas."

After detailing his experience with the illness, which he described as ÔÇ£the worst flu you can imagine,ÔÇØ and assuring fans he's feeling much better a week after getting sick, May reiterated the importance of getting vaccinated.
ÔÇ£This is not the response my body wouldÔÇÖve made on its own," he said. "ItÔÇÖs making this response because IÔÇÖve had three Pfizer jabs. And I beg you and implore you to go and get jabbed if youÔÇÖre not already, because you need the help. I lost one of my very best friends to COVID very early on. In six days it killed him. It couldÔÇÖve done me in the last six days but it didnÔÇÖt because of the jabs."
He ended his message with a note of solidarity. ÔÇ£DonÔÇÖt be scared but be cautious, because you donÔÇÖt want to get this," May said. ÔÇ£LetÔÇÖs all pull together to beat this damn coronavirus.ÔÇØ




Good for him - he could have just said nothing but instead chose to use his experience to encourage people to get the vaccination.

  Slap with a wet bus ticket
Posted by: Oldfellah - 21-12-2021, 04:10 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (6)

An Auckland lawyer who pleaded guilty to breaching lockdown rules to travel from Auckland to W─ünaka has been discharged without conviction, while her partner has been fined $750.

William John Lawrence Willis, 35, and Hannah Rawnsley, 26, travelled to Hamilton under the guise of delivering hay on September 9, while Auckland was in alert level 4.

They got through the Auckland-Waikato checkpoint unlawfully, by using essential worker exemptions.

They were then driven to Hamilton Airport, where they took a commercial flight to Queenstown, via Wellington, rented a vehicle and drove to a holiday home in W─ünaka.


REALLY!!!

Now if this hadnt been a judges son and his lawyer girlfriend but someone else I bet the fine would have been a damn site worse, what an insult, good on ya justice system  Angry
