I've had Windows 10 for 2 or 3 months now with no problems but I took the precaution of rejecting all the extra stuff and just getting the basic version. Agree with Lennie about the Countryfile forecast so they can stay. By elimination that leaves WUMs who don't really have anything going for them.

Weather forecasters have never bothered me as I look at the charts and make my own, the ones on Channels 4 and 5 are just ridiculous. I first logged onto meteosat in uni in 1989 and haven't looked back!!
Windows 10 has not impacted in my life yet so I feel unjust in sending that away.
WUMs I was going to ignore until I remembered peashooter and VICIOUS from the 606 days.
So there's one I detest and one I depose. Which to cast off into oblivion? Still not sure. I will vote later

WUMs take it. I'll get them into the vault tomorrow.
Next up is countyfan, with the unenviable task of making some 'x-rated' suggestions.

That leaves the pond life we know as the WUMs, and I don't think there'll be any prizes for me guessing who your inspiration was when typing your description, ceef! it's the acceptance of it on there as well that bugs me. they're shocked by any swearing, but outside of that allow posters to constantly abuse and lie about each other horrendously, and make absurdly opinion-for-hire absolutist proclamations which turn every other post into a war between the most ridiculously polarised points of view possible. it's like donald trump nation. in the short term, i think WUMs can be mildly entertaining, especially as we've been quite good on CH at shooting them down. probably why we haven't had one for at least a couple of years. once their initial tactics wear off though, the constant spam-posting on every topic with one line or a couple of words that are solely designed to irritate just takes up too much of our days to allow their continuation. if somebody acts like that on CH, we have a word. if that fails, we chase them off. and if we can't run them out of town, then a permanent ban is probably in order - it's obvious elsewhere how much people trade off having previously been temporarily banned, making out that they're either dangerously edgy, or consider themselves some guevara-esque hero of the people for standing up to 'the man'. it raises my blood pressure and makes me want to punch them. which probably doesn't say many positive things about me either. so i'm too late to the polling station, but am happy with the expressed will of the people...
