Acrobat is the biggest pile of 'bloat-ware' there is; always has been - 150MB for a document reader ?.... Please

Couldn't agree more. The document compare function is the main reason I have pro, from time to time I install the trial versions of the alternatives and do a bunch of compares to see whose gives the best result. So far it's always been Adobe but I'd only ever describe it as 'least poor of the options'. In rev X they've tweaked the doc compare, first time since 7 iirc. Yipee I thought, lets see how much it's progressed. From what I've seen so far they've added a load of eye candy, taken away a couple of useful features and done absolutely diddly to improve the quality of the compare results.

I ditched adobe Reader ages ago... I can't remember the alternative I used, but it's much faster to load, and takes up a lot less space. The main reason for switching was the load time! I'll have a look when I get home.

Foul on the part of the last three posters!

Just because I have a mobile phone which keeps me in touch with the world 24/7 it doesnt mean I actually want to talk to you, just because we work for the same company you are not a 'mate' mate, if I saw you in a pub would I socialise with you? NO

Chocolate cake and chips

Another Dolomite shaped car left my yard today and another possibly going this weekend so that leaves 5 Dolomite sized spaces that need filling.

I have accidentally acquired a bass guitar, right when I was giving up musical instruments. Oh dear.

Auto jumble bargain, Dolomite top ball joint (QH) £5, followed by another QH top BJ for only £5 and a 1970s still sealed in box 12v hair dryer for £3

(I wont mention that a steak pasty cost me £3.85 and a cuppa tea £1.30 )

Just where do car keys disappear to in this house?

Found 'em when I pulled down the sunvisor in the Amica. Keys hurt when the hit you on the head.

Now I'ff jusht bitten my bottom lip. Arrgghhh!

That is were you are going wrong Oli, hoses sizes are in CM or inches not minutes
