10th October 2025




 Is Google trying to take over my own searches, or is this some diabolical plot to take over my blog.  Foolishness aside, I am getting tired of all the changes that happen on my computer.  There has been a 'shock' of emails about if I had Window 11.  Could not find out myself but Andrew found that I was indeed programmed by Window 11.  Microsoft and Dell have since gone quiet, but I notice subtle changes in the programming.

Also, this makes me cross, instead of allowing me entry into sites, I have to show my pin number.  And horrors of horror, why should I have Bing and is it MSN news page that pops up from my left hand side?
And weirdly The Guardian isn't allowed on the sodding Bing site. End of small rant.

I should go on to a news revue but all I can do is wait for the release of the hostages without any thing terrible happening but also grateful that the Palestinian news has reached a small plateau of discussion.

  1. Love "Ode to the Spell Checker" but shouldn't that be Chequer? I also appreciate the Yorkshire rose at the end. With all the technological skulduggery you have been experiencing, perhaps it's time for a small medium dry sherry.

    1. I don't really like alcohol very much so I shall to express my angst through my blog, in the hope that all those pottering bots will take notice.

    1. Are you fishing for something;) Too old for fashion but I am sure you will get plenty of followers.

  3. Bing has 'hijacked' our browser a few times. Not sure how it happened, but after much consternation and concerted effort, I was able to switch back to chrome. I bet Andrew could accomplish this with far less complaining than I did. I hope the truce holds, but now that the Nobel Peace Prize has gone to a pro democracy Venezuelan activist a virtual slap in the face to a man who is four square opposite to that, I expect that the 'peace' will fall apart very quickly. I think it was naught but a quickly put together plan by Netanyahu to curry favor with a leader he needs to appease to keep him on his side. I have never in my life wanted to be proven wrong so badly.

    1. Yes I fear it is far too early to celebrate but can at least hope the hostages will be released. It was a given that that man would not acquire a peace prize Debby.

  4. I don't use Windows so I'm not familiar with the Bing problems. (I'm on a Mac.) I do like the spell-checked poem, though!

    I too am waiting eagerly to hear about the hostages.

  5. I worry that something might go wrong as well Steve, until the handover takes place we should all hope for the best. Heard on the radio yesterday that those of us who own Android phones are second class to people who are on Apple!
