I haven't had the "joy" of New Outlook yet (our IT team did something to get rid of it) but I suspect it'll creep in at some point. I'm not looking forward to it, based on what I've heard!

To be honest, I forced myself to it in December. It wasn't as feature complete as it became shortly afterward, but most of what I needed daily was doable. Now it's pretty much feature parity for my work and the integration with Edge and Teams is quite frankly, the best I've seen in computing.

People really just need to give it a go. If it was up to me, we wouldn't be blocking it any longer except in some very specific cases.

I've tried the new Outlook but went back to classic as there's one feature that just isn't available in new Outlook that I rely on. I have a rule set-up in my calendar that colour codes meeting entries that I sent out a different colout than the invites that I have received from others. Meeting rooms are scarce in my office so every Friday before I log off I check my calendar for the next two weeks and make sure that I have booked a room for those meetings that I am charing.

I tried everything in the new Outlook but it just wasn't possible. I searched online and saw that others were trying to do the same thing and everyone had reverted back to Outlook classic.

andrew027: Just the usual things: people who put the toilet paper roll on the holder the wrong way, people who squeeze the toothpaste tube in the wrong place, people who walk on the wrong side of the footpath. Because, of course, I do all those things the right way.

Ooh, and people who don’t snap the cap properly closed on the toothpaste so you get cruddy bits of toothpaste crust on your brush.

Just spent over 15 minutes looking for the nut driver I was using outside!

Looked on the top fence rail were I had been keeping it - Nope!

Checked the middle fence rail - Nope!

Looked through the bark and plants in the garden - Nope!

Went inside, went outside etc!

I'd put it in my pocket and not noticed it was there due to other items being there!

Sheesh!

It annoys me that it took me so long and so many re-reads to work out what you were annoyed about - I understood the misplacement - I just couldn't get "nut driver" into my brain correctly and went through various scenarios, which included actual nuts (a la peanut, pecan or walnut) through to a young man in uniform driving something akin to a UPS van with nuts in it, to...well...many other things.

It must be Monday!

While taking problematic car out of my car garage this morning, stood on a rake in the corner of garage next to garage door on the dark side, and smack into my head! Monday!

While we are on the subject of problematic cars...my son's car that has had endless amounts of work done on it, has now decided to spit coolant everywhere (mostly out driveway) and become undriveable.

So...it's either a water pump ($$$$) or hoses ($$) or a gasket of some sort ($$$$).

It's not the radiator, thankfully, as that's miles away from where the coolant is being ejected.

Bought the car 2 years ago for $5500 - current tally on cost of repairs - approx $6k. This job likely to be anything from $1-3k depending on complexity.

It's a lovely car on the rare occasions it's not broken.

When you book tickets at Spark Arena early and get good seats, then they change the layout and you are no longer as near to the front. Two concerts now for me with no communication that they do this. I think the floor section is ok as they add seats at the back, but the stand seats a now further back.

This happened with some people last month that complained about buying "good" seats and ticketmaster relocating them to "not so good tickets"

You have the right to equivalent seats, before other people can buy these, or a full refund, no questions asked.

I wrote a lengthy reply to a post on GZ and included a bunch of links and then my browser went haywire and it was lost to the ether.

I am not rewriting that and re-finding the links.

Annoying. I was trying to be helpful.

Websites that throw up a "Please don't leave" pop-up when you move the cursor up to the navigation bar. In this particular case I was only going for the back button to return to your home page!
