Crash

Smell this, she says.
I do.
My nose wrinkles, my eyes close, and I sneeze.
Mightily.
Causing the car to abruptly encounter a tree.
Lucky White Heather.

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.

        Hey there, you’ve mentioned the hassle with my site but I’m not sure what you’re referring to, please explain.

          I have to prove I’m not a robot each time, by ticking a box then identifying, from a selection of photos, cars, or boats, or trains, or whatever, sometimes two or three times.
          Is it just me?

            I have asked bloggers who comment on my site regularly as well as checked my site via different browsers/computers/phones. No one seems to be having this problem and I do not have captchas installed.

            However, I did some searching and found this: CAPTCHA can be triggered by automated processes sometimes caused by worms, proxy search traffic going through infected computers or DSL routers, or from some SEO ranking tools. It can also be a result of suspicious activity from your IP address or the IP address range you’re part of. It advises to scan your computer for viruses and malware.

            What browser are you using? Chrome seems to be bad for this type of problem and I sometimes get the captcha if I comment on too many sites within a short period of time.
