Yes, same here.
Every time I switched my PC on I got the "Adobe Reader - would I like to update it?" icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
I asked via Google how to get rid of this and they showed me a short YouTube clip of how to disable it and it worked no problem. It doesn't ask me anymore

TOTALLY agree,mate. Bloody great bright orange Nissan Bullshit pulls up at school gates,out gets snotty pupil,Nissan 'computer is king' Bullshit glides off to 'the office'.

YUK!

My Landy actually WORKS for a living,often pulling trailers for the local farm [hay] or helping broken-down cars arrive at Neil's garage for repair,tugging prats out of ditches,hedges...and various other tasks. BUT - my Landy also is USEFUL here in remote agriculture-land,and RELIABLE as a mode of transport,plus it's going to grip,REGARDLESS of conditions or surface,mud or snow,ice or spilt oil..;it's going to fight through,it WILL arrive at destination. [oh-and it's BRITISH...gawd bless'er maj....{sniff}]

Workmen (in my case electrician) who repeatedly let you down and don't phone or turn up when they say they will.

But all in polycard form,so they're in with my debit card & my Nectar Points card. Why do you ask?
I am nosy!

No - seriously I was just intrigued by the thought of ever needing 48 licences - but - obviously you do!

Thank you for explaining.

No sweat,Tabs...I have so many licences because of the instructor's licences. THEY came about due to being on RPD so often when in uniform [although,for RPD,we didn't wear uniform,just 'smart civvy'] The rest came about because after I was blown up,once I was mobile and vertical again,I was put to instructing others in operating machinery/vehicles,types of vehicle,using 'crash-boxes' [gearboxes without synchromesh]steering trailers of rather large dimension through tight/awkward places,so forth-all whilst studying for a degree. Bit awks,but I did it. XXX
