Impressive face plant & no I didn't know about chrome making it slow. I never use chrome as it annoys me they put the refresh button in the wrong place.

That'd be telling. The reveal will be Friday when I get to it.

There's already a couple of subtle clues, I'll find some more to chuck in later.

Nothing obvious on google to suggest it's a common issue, sorry.

Well the "bust coupon" is much better.

Mate achieved RVP this afternoon, but has since sat stationary on the A74(M) because of accident near Ecclefechan.

"air ambulance landed just up ahead! Apparently southbound car flipped over barrier and hit two northbound cars, fucking carnage!!"

Well, he'll get back to Glasgow eventually. Whilst stuck near the front of the queue, he's reflecting on his fortune that he's not involved. Timing and all that. I'm glad he's safe and more importantly* so is my car...
