Got here yesterday, so much to see and do. Went to the Vatican museum first thing, very beautiful but I had no idea everyone on the planet would be there.

So you go to the centre of the Catholic church at Easter and are astonished at the crowds 
Mind you we did the same in Vietnam wanted to visit the mausoleum on their national day, the queues were kilometers long. Weird thing was the 5 star hotel concierge did not know if the place was going to be open or he was just pissing around with the tourist.

To show you how out of touch I am I didn't even know it was easter until we got here. I don't plan the trips my better half does.

Rome is fantastic. We took a guided tour of the Coliseum and Forum. Money well spent

As someone who has been to Rome many times, over the last several decades, I F***ing hated it, the last time I went there, a few years ago.
I wanted to find a T-shirt printing place that could emblazon T-shirts for me with "Do I look like the kind of moron who wants a F***ing selfie stick?" on the front, and "I Probably know the Vatican better than you do, you F***ing uneducated, half-trained foreigner!" on the back.

I bit the bullet and installed the FxCop Analyzer on my own pet home projects...
First I ended up with thousands of warnings 
Plenty of them useless....
Well then I embraced the global warning suppression...
It is good, but annoyingly create a GlobaSuppression.cs, it is annoying because I would have edited the error.ruleset file instead, which would be better I guess (more prominent), and sometimes it can be tedious to find the annoying rule one want to suppress in the treeview manually...
after that it did find some vaguely less than desirable code. Yeah!
(Remark, I mean just that, not quite a bug, but less than desirable, like incorrect exception constructor or using string.ToLowerInvariant() which is problematic, advised to use ToUpperInvariant(), or use a TaskScheduler explicitely, or use Array.Empty<T>() instead of new T[0])
except it is sometimes quite tedious to review 87 warnings in 4 years old code while I got other things to do... (particularly as I am, for once, "productive"... I do not need one more excuse to procrastinate on the feature that defied me for almost 2 years so far...  )

It gets even more fun when using FxCop and Resharper together, one says correct this and after that the other gives a warning
But this was years ago, maybe things have improved by now ...

It hasn't.

Uninstall it and go on with your life.

Look up C lint.
A tool that developers hated decades ago.
And static analyzers serve no better purpose now except, unlike lint, companies charge for them.
Hypothetically they might be valid if a company was only using junior programmers, or perhaps had more than a couple and the senior developers refused to review code. But in that case then it is a management problem not a technology one.
In a recent case a static analyzer required re-engineering a simple factory pattern that was using a switch statement. The re-engineered effort passed review (not by me) that was done by creating a dictionary which instantiated all of the classes controlled by the factory...every single time. Passed the static analyzer though.

That sounds like a candidate for the Weird and Wonderful. But my main comment: F*** that!

Sounds like making the dictionary reference static would have fixed it. The analyzer was probably afraid of "globals".

Nope.
Point of a factory is to create a new instance each time. A static dictionary would not do that.
The implementation, which the static analyzer passed, was to create a new dictionary and populate it will all new instances, each time the method was calle.

If we ran FxCop on our main application where I work, it would probably explode!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
