I think that quite a few cars have had such issues - it seems that little or no driving (or a few very short journeys) does not allow the exhaust monitoring system to function correctly (not heating up, inadequate flow, etc). Sometimes a longer drive might clear the fault?

Yeah we had this with certain vehicles at work, the advice from the garage was to take them for a ballast up the motorway.

Especially diesel just get the revs up and pump. Out all the carbon
If it has a DPF then thatās usually it. Stick above 2000 revs at decent speed for a bit.
GMG: Scams like this (tweet already reported).
The lack of conscience confuses me.
Link goes to a very well put together form, at a domain that could be confused.
Thatās some early 2000s babelfish gibberish if Iāve ever seen it!

Computer turns back onā¦ You have further software updates to completeā¦ And the process begins againā¦ Literally takes over every other Monday

I just donāt get why Windows update takes so freaking long to do. Iām at the half hour mark since restarting this morning and now Iāve got black screen but the laptops still on so donāt want to force power off.
Itās not a slow laptop either. Itās about as fast as you can get 
Because it takes the NSA that long to scan and check all your files.

Nah, they keep a live set of files synced 
I work in IT and configure all this kind of stuff.
My colleagues always ask me why we canāt install updates overnight. I point out that they switch their laptops off at night

Iāve considered setting up WSUS at work but I donāt think this would have helped here anyway. I donāt think the download was the slow bit 
Nah WSUS wonāt help with that. If you leave your laptop on overnight on the second Tuesday of the month every month, you probably wonāt have any issues

So that update this morning has basically killed my laptop. I am in bloody rage mode now. Trying to do some very very light CAD work and it canāt keep up. Genuinely getting infuriated now. I consider my self pretty IT-literate. Very IT-literate in fact, but this has me stumpted. 
This sign:
it simply isnāt āin forceā it is āin placeā
unless the builders of the new estate in town are traffic wombles in disguise and have a speed-measuring-hairdryer under their hi-vis jacket the āin forceā part really GMG
how is it āin forceā if no one is enforcing it?

Because it is enforceable by the local constabulary. Just because it wasnāt being enforced at the time you were there does not mean it is not enforced.

My daughterās globe. Happy to put (UK) next to Gibraltar and Tristan da Cunha, but chickens out on the Falklands (at least it uses the correct name).
Toilet training. Iām really struggling to teach the 3 and 6 year olds to flush the sodding thing. After 10 years Iāve given up on trying to teach the 35 year old to do the same.
