Summer

Here in the UK we have had some warm days and sunshine galore. No rain even.

It’s a British thing that you don’t plan for extremes. If it snows, airports don’t have ploughs. Ultimately it’s cheaper just to cancel a few hundred flights and take the loss.

Melting train tracks is a summer problem, of course. But we also have a carbon dioxide shortage. Fizzy drinks and beers are struggling, and for some reason there is a lettuce shortage. Animals cannot be killed because CO2 is used to help them die humanely.

Food delivery vans are limiting deliveries of frozen food because they use dry ice in their vans and that is CO2.

Only in Britain.

Splash

One thing that truly annoys me is when you are using a computer and you load a program, and there is a splash screen. You know, the thing that tells you the program you are using, versions, puts a jolly picture up etc.

It’s when the splash screen takes over most of the screen, stays on top regardless of what you try to do, takes ages to load and you can’t do anything else.

Are you listening Adobe, Pinnacle…?
