Broadcaster clearly using expletives in every other sentence. Something I would rather not have to put up with on a Sunday morning, especially with children around on Father's Day.

GordonG Jun 2021 10:22pm, 23 Jun 2021 8,617 posts	Quote Pin GordonG The fact that yesterday evening we drove home only to realise that the car key was stuck in the ignition barrel. That it wouldn't come out no matter how much we jiggled and wriggled it over the next 30 minutes. That this meant we couldn't lock the doors. That only a Nissan dealer could help us because the key would have a security code, and it was now gone 7pm and the dealership was closed. That we had to leave the car parked on the street all night with the key in the ignition, door unlocked and anyone able to start the car and drive it away. That in the morning we still couldn't get the key out. That we phoned the dealership at 8am, were told the locksmith would be round in an hour but he didn't arrive until gone 3. That he pulled the key out by hand first time, literally within 2 seconds. Still, at least we can lock the door now, and it didn't cost anything!

It proves* that Microsoft developers work in windowless buildings whereas I only have to raise my eyes slightly to see what the weather is doing. *It also grinds my gears that I cannot think of a better word than 'prove' for 'gives me a measure of reason to think it's possible that'.
