Hi All,
Walking back to the flat today I spotted five people in suits/smart casual having 'rows' or talking animatedly to what I hope were ear pieces / blu tooth microphones hidden about there garb. At least with larger ear pieces / wires you could tell the person was not an escapee!
Ho-Hum!

Perhaps they were talking to @Mike-Hankey 's psychiatrist?
Cheers,
Mick

Since when did a group of 5 people talking be considered "talking to yourself?" 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

They're called "meetings".

My favourite example of this was when I was walking down a street in Shanghai at about 2300hrs with the missus.
About 150 yards in front of us was a young girl, wearing a nurse's uniform (just come off shift, or something). We couldn't hear anything she was saying, but her gesticulations (we were watching from behind, remember) were absolutely hilarious.
She was obviously having a "discussion" with her boyfriend, and we could feel what she was saying, even if we didn't know the details -- arms snapping out, fingers waving, etc; but no-one else there!
We followed her down a road we didn't want to go down, simply because it was so entertaining.
Poor thing. We've all been through such "discussions", so it strikes a chord, when we see someone else suffering one.

Oh good, I was under the impression that it was something to do with myself (maybe I'm not a wierdo magnet!)

How long did it take before you realised she was talking to the police to report a couple of weirdos stalking her?

Read all your data and send it back to the mothership, of course.

Oh, if that's the case they may proceed. I destroy demons and motherships since the day of Doom II and I have the proof on my hard disk.

Just for the record we had a customer's win 10 PC in here about a month ago where the disk was 100% all the time and slow was the machine because of it.
Windows defender turned out to be the reason. We shut it off by any means possible which is like extracting a badger from it's hole but once we did and replaced it with another antivirus product the disk utilization went to normal level and performance was restored.
It was a fun afternoon.

Good to know, thanks. I will keep it in mind in the remote possibility I will install Win10!

Before pointing at Win10, check if it's Chrome. Firefox used to have an issue where it would page like crazy, but haven't seen that for a while (it still pages too much, though.)
Edit: Hmm, your original post already pointed to Chrome as the culprit.
