Potholes (3), Mosques and the SNP (3)

Cunters, are you keen to develop your 4×4 driving skills by negotiating the challenging terrain of broken, torn-up roads? Would you like to put your roll-bars to the test? Well there’s no need to go off-grid, just head for Glasgae, the UK’s pothole capital, or Edinburgh, which is running in second place.

You’d think, wouldn’t you, that the Jockistan ‘government’ (haha) might take a break from deleting their WhatsApp messages and dish out some dosh to their SNP comrades on Glasgae cooncil so they could fill in some potholes.

Not so. Instead they’re handing 6-figure sums to a mosque linked to the terrorist state of Iran to ‘support awareness of climate change issues’ amongst the ragheads. I think we can assume the SNP has carried out its customary due diligence to ensure the money is spent correctly, just like the £600 million they’ve pissed away on their ferries farce.

Oh yes, and any news yet from Jockplod about the £667,000? Don’t hold your breath.

Cunts.

Ungrateful Ukraine Air Force

A cunting forbeggars being choosers, in this case fucking Ukraine refusing Australia’s offer of 40+ F/A 18 Hornets due to them being ‘flying trash’.

Would the Ukies like to see what half of Europe is flying, as well as the US Navy?

The F/A 18.

What do they expect, the F-35?

I read they’re getting an even older fighter in the form of the F-16 Falcon, so what’s the issue? They also put in a request for F-18s with the United States at some point. Now this gaffe has strained relations between Australia and Ukraine.

The F/A 18 is a perfectly good aircraft for the Ukraine’s purposes- multi role, robust landing gears, relatively short take-off, and as for the supposed issues with ammunition and ordnance the article claims would arise if they took both the F-16 and F/A-18, both use the same Vulcan 20mm cannon and both are of the same generation of fighter jet. Both carry the same types of missiles and bombs (sidewinder, harpoon, Maverick, AMRAAM and JDAM) so the idea they need separate specialised ammunition is pure bunk.

The main issue is training Ukie pilots but again, both planes are similar in age and would not use wildly different systems. if the pilots can make the leap from the MiG and Sukhoi to F-16, then the effort to adapt further to the F-18 will be minimal.

Also, you’re fighting Russia. Get on with it.

Microsoft Copilot

Anyone with a Windows 11 machine will have noticed in the latest Windows Feature Update the arrival of this new extremely powerful, extremely invasive AI chatbot called “Copilot” (Which is a considerable step up from older virtual assistants such as Cortana, Siri and Alexa)

Without going into the technical details it will integrate itself with other onboard Microsoft products such as Edge/Bing, Teams and 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook etc). And then move into the realm of computer games, simulations and eventually high-end manufacturing technologies involving engineering, medicine, biofoods, security and healthcare.

One of the benefits of Copilot (CP) according to Microsoft is that it will help you prepare Word documents or Excel spreadsheets by you simply asking it to prepare a formal business proposal. CP will then use the notes and data you have already prepared in basic form and will turn it into a professional looking document on your behalf.

The same principle applies to Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook emails and so on. It is basically your own Personal Assistant with intelligence.

However, you will notice CP is already on your Windows 11 taskbar, with the letters “PRE” underneath. This means it is not a fully operational “live” version, but a Beta. Which means it is still under development. Which suggests it is not as secure and bug-free as MS are claiming.

AI generally, is going to be more and more invasive with the apps we use on our phones, tablets and PCs over the next few years. And as a consequence there are major concerns about security, hacking, privacy and how much control Microsoft will have over your device.

CP is very much aimed at businesses, but home users are also included. Unfortunately you cannot uninstall it, although you can disable it (see link below), which is something I would strongly advice – at least until it has been fully tested and that the major anti-virus developers are ready for it in order to protect you.

Not only is this app unfinished it is quite resource hungry, especially on older PCs and laptops, more so when it caches and analysers data from various dependent apps such as OneNote or Word.

Best not to get sucked in with this AI hype. It is unproven and full of risk, just like those AI Self-Driving Tesla cars. Critics suggest it will make humanity even more impotent in terms of having to think about things when something like Copilot will anticipate exactly what it is you’re after based on a few words. (Imagine the days before calculators and you had to do sums in your head or on paper. Now you don’t have to think about how to do it. CP is the same but on a far larger, broader scale)

The concept looks nice on a piece of paper or a PowerPoint demo, but quite another kettle of ballbags when put to the test in the real world.

DPD (2) and Sharps Brewery

DPD are cunts, with a side cunting for Sharps Brewery.

My middle nephew ordered some beers for my birthday and, needless to say, the delivery guy kept coming while I was at work. He (the nephew) therefore cancelled it and sent me a £25 voucher for Sharps brewery instead.

I bought a crate of beers which DPD have managed not to deliver another two times. I therefore paid an extra £4.99 to guarantee delivery today (Sunday) between 12pm and 6pm.

I thought I’d check my email to see if the delivery twat had come before then and found an email saying that my delivery will now arrive on Monday, when I will be at work.

Useless fucking cunts.

Fake Passports and Driving Licences

As I’m approaching 70, I’ve had an invitation from the DVLC, to renew my Driving Licence.

Well, I’ve never had one of the new plastic credit card ones, my old fashion paper one is, apparently, no longer valid.
Anyway, in for a penny, I go on line. Do I want my passport details, including photo to be used. Clicked yes.

Anyway, two days later I have a valid DL, which will be useful when I’m tearing round in my modified old person chariot. I shared this with Younger, who says she’s been using her DL photo to update her passport and vice versa for 20 years.

Which leads me to the point of this cunting. If I can do it, and Younger can, how many younger brothers/cousins have walked in here, using an older brothers passport, with a photo that’s 20 years old?
