RANT CORNER

Just saw two ten-year-old girls casually stroll across the road as though the car coming at them didn't exist!

If a former pope needs prayers to help get to heaven, what hope does the rest of us have?

In practical terms I would have thought a rocket more appropriate ....

I listened to about 60 songs last night, and now Microsoft are "recommending" that I don't do any work today but carry on listening to music - the same songs I was playing last night!

Virgin Media contract ends next month. Current £80pm goes up to £114 pm. Spend 10 minutes going nowhere with initial help desk. Finally get put through to retentions.

Me: I need a better deal or I leave.
VM: I see you'll be paying £122 from next month(!). I can offer a special deal of £89pm.
Me: I need a better deal or I leave.
VM: I have a very special deal at £67pm.
Me: I need a better deal or I leave.
VM: (after very long delay) How about £65.25?
Me: (that's a vey specific amount) Awwww.......OK then, but that blows my budget.

Same tedious rigmarole every 18 months, but if you're uber patient, ultra polite and totally persistent, you'll get your deal.

You are about to be logged out. Would you like to remain logged in?

YES!

Fuck you, we'll log you out anyway!!

Sorry to start the new year with a rant. I can look at the last three months of transactions on my bank account but if I want to go back further I have to authenticate myself with an OTP code!

So your wife can find out where you've been dining your mistress last weekend but won't find out about the Big Mac & chips you purchased four months ago.

I got up at 5:00 this morning unable to sleep and the cat wants her breakfast, eight hours early!

Have they no sense of time?

[Derek27]

I've just tried to pour 2.2 litres of spent cooking oil into a 2-litre bottle.

Year's not off to a good start.

[Derek27]

I'd rather trade for 90 minutes and lose than lay under 1.5, two goals in 7 minutes and that's it - nothing to trade for hours!

[Archangel]

I like watching the Darts but the crowds these days are very annoying. Many don't even seem to have a lot of interest in the matches, just there to drink, wear silly costumes and sing the same songs over and over....

I've got it now. It's his indifference to child abuse that's left him odds-against to get to the promised land. Pele was a devout Catholic and nobody's calling for prayers to help him.

My (slender) understanding of Catholic protocol means you can be a horrible person all your life, but if you confess your sins and repent on your death bed you will be welcomed into Heaven.
But remember God is omniscient and therefore will know if you're fibbing and then you're toast.

Does anyone get imposter syndrome when trading? I’ve started trading price decay and I’m doing really well but feel like a fraud. It doesn’t feel like proper trading

It's 'proper' trading, ie a straight forward bet on the odds you'll make +n ticks or -n ticks.
