...so, after rejecting their constant nagging to upgrade, I've finally been forcibly upgraded to the new Skype for Windows 10 (Desktop) ... what a pile of poo it is.
There is no way to change the font size. I thought accessibility was a priority in s/w design these days?
Nor is there any way to filter the contacts list (eg "Online only" or rearrange it in a different order. They are all there, listed by "Last used" and that's that.
I uninstalled it, but can no longer run an earlier version - I just get forcibly upgraded again.
For crying out loud, Microsoft, this is beyond bad.

Mickeysoft! They have been nagging me all day with some updates and I clicked it away with 'Do it tonight'. I have no time for that. Just a few minutes ago, not two hours later, it came up again. Now it graciously granted me another hour, but then there will be no way around doing the updates.
Which part of 'tonight' did you not understand, Mickeysoft?

You can turn Windows Update service off and you won't be annoyed again. There may be some scheduled tasks also, better have a look there too to be sure nothing will be executed without your consent.

Thanks. It's not my computer, so I keep my fingers away from the service. If I can keep that thing quiet another hour it will be time to head home anyway.
And kick me in the *** if I ever try to install this at home.

Add to that that if you're using Office 365, to share screens you have to start "Skype for Business" not the normal (as we say in the office now) "Skype for Pleasure".

These days little choice except to find a shop that has fags (you'd think that would be easy, but actually it's not.)

As a single coutry you may have more people, but outside of Merka there are more people speaking proper English and spelling words with the U in them.
Merkan English is like Catholic Priest sex, an abomination and embarrassing.

Please, Straya is where all the various pretend deities wish to live. Funny how Merkan military historians admit that without the French forces working along side the Yanks against the English you would have been smashed. Out numbered, out gunned and just not p to it. Besides fighting with you in Merka they fought England in and around Europe keeping the forces that would have been brought to bare away.
My analogy wins, your butchered language is like two poofs bum rooting to make babies. Not right.

The comment to which this responds ("poof" bum) and your prior comment ("Catholic Priest sex, an abomination and embarrassing." makes all of us realize the awful truth:
Such obsessions supply the proof that you've been "down under" far too long - both literally and figuratively.

It's for your own good. Accept British supremacy. Or start speaking like Russel Peters' dad.

Actually, the colonial dialects came from Britain. Even though many of these regional dialects and vocabulary fell out of use in Britain, many remain current in the former colonies.

It reminds me of an occasion in New York.
I was out with some Mercans having a beer. I had a pint pot in one hand and the waitress bought over the next round so I had a beer in each hand.
One of the Mercans turned to me and said "Hey, looks like you're double-fisting!"

It doesn't have to be British verses American; it can be regional within North America.
