This bugger is taking forever to download :twisted: I can't crack on with my nightly NBA trading until its been completed.
A feature update is usually an upgraded version of Windows 10 rather than a patch so it takes a while. I never install updates until I've finished trading.

Haven't needed it for a while but some bird's crapped all over the handle of my garden hose!
At least it missed the Range Rover otherwise the chaps at the country club might think you're a peasant. Maybe the birds are getting their revenge and for all the ones you've shot at the hunts? :lol:

I'm sick of being forced to eat cereal for breakfast every morning just to get rid of my milk.
Milkshakes and Angel Delight are the answer to that, or decant some into the 1 pint sized containers and freeze it. How about developing a cappuccino habit? Almond milk lasts a couple of days longer. ...that's all of my milk based tips :) Sorry not tips, I think the youngsters have decided they're called 'hacks' ...which always sounds like a bodge rather than a good idea but there you go.

I don't like angel's delight or cappuccino but milkshakes could be a good idea. :)

I've never tried freezing milk but I've heard it doesn't freeze well, the fat separates. I would only have full-fat milk in my coffee. Anything else is piss!

1) Buy filtered milk - it lasts 2 weeks and tastes lovely.
2) Eat choc chip cookies with a nice cold glass of milk.
3) Hot chocolate or coffee made with milk, microwaved in the mug for 2 minutes BEFORE you put the coffee or chocolate powder in (Cadbury's my fave).

Enjoy

WTF is Croatian soccer listed under "HR"? CE and CT are both available, or anything beginning with a C would help you find it!!

Ah, so they're listed under the country's own name, that explains why Spain is ES. It's easy to forget Betfair is worldwide. So now we all need to be language experts just to trade! :)

No rant here, just a combination of relief and delight........I've taken a couple of hours off this afternoon for a haircut and a cold pint of Kronenbourg

I feel almost normal again 8-)

Shocking news story on Sky. Two brothers were walking side-by-side, shoulder to shoulder, they weren't even throwing punches at each other!!

I can see why there's so much litter left in supermarket trolleys. One twat gets a trolley out, picks up the litter and chucks it in the next trolley for the next guy to do the same. Then he pushes his trolley straight past the bin!

I've been using VBA for years without realising that ByRef is default over ByVal, when defining subroutines. I wonder how many hours I've wasted debugging code. :(
