Well, I'd wondered how you, missus & the bairns were doing, but thought it was too early for you to emerge on sandier shores, so didn't fret
Now that you're here, how are things going ?

Chaos.
Trying to get things ready. Shippers are in a couple of weeks. I head out a couple of days later. I have got shopping coming out of my ears and think the couriers have worn down my path.
School applications are a nightmare!
It will all come together I'm sure!

Please stop assuming that my being stuck in this sh1thole of a country means that I want all web pages served to me in the bluddy awful language used by residents of the dump.
It is possible to live in a foreign country, but still want to use your mother tongue when doing, oh, I don't know, minor things like browsing the web or installing critical Windows updates!
Also, could you please tell your web pages to stop deciding that my Windows 8 laptop is running Windows XP, then going on to tell me that it is out of support? It's bad enough that I'm stuck with the sh1t that is Windows 8 without your rubbing a superior operating system in my nose, every time I run Windows update.
Oh, and whilst we're on the subject of Windows 8, could you please just scrap the unholy sh1t that you call an app store, and start again. Copy Android's way of doing things. They're open source; they won't sue.
OK, just 3,843 more things...

And try accessing your crappy junk Hotmail account from a different country when you travel. "Oh, looks like someone is hacking your account, please enter this ridiculous quantity of security crap and we will send it to another Hotmail account/phone you cant even use/access in a foreign country"

Yup, they seem to assume that your 27 spams and one e-mail from a mate about what time to go to the pub require the kind of security that suits transportation of nuclear materials.
It's e-mail, for f***'s sake. Out of every three thousand e-mails I receive, there's maybe as many as one where it would bother me if absolutely everyone in the world read it.

Its email, and its your sh*tty, go anywhere, crappy junk account that you use on the net everywhere and gets spammed up to sh*t. You wouldn't even notice if some one hacks it it gets so much crap!

As long as every other service you use runs its password recovery feature via email, it's not just about your plans to get plastered on a Friday night.
pwning your email address is one of the first steps toward pwning every other account you have on the net including the ones needed to send every dollar in your bank accounts to an elbonian mud farm or to active the device-stolen-remote-wipe-to-prevent-thieves-from-stealing-your-data just to elephant you over for telling some sunshine he was an elephanting moron.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Or even better, it's possible that most of the people here don't want to use their mother tongue.

As you're Dutch, that's perfectly understandable.

+1, I waste so much time trying to remove all trace of my mother tongue in my operating system.
But most public service (google, looking at you) nowadays automatically geo localize you so you always endup screwed in the end anyway.

I've found a checkbox in win8 that auspiciously tells things to ignore date/time settings and use a language list, but it doesn't appear to work.
But your native language is French, isn't it? Nothing to be ashamed of there.
It's just everything else French that's a bit iffy.

Time to get the Queen vinyl out and rip it to mp3, methinks.
