... each call is recorded for training and quality purposes so they can learn what triggers abuse and adapt.

Have you ever tried to get a recording of a phone call with them? They say they can't send you one! They are not happy to share their 'quality' with you!

You can try a subject access request, but I doubt they really record calls. If they do they wont have access to them, just like they have no record of any email you've sent.

and calling everyone there "monkeys" probably isn't worth

It's good advice actually, shouldn't be calling anyone "monkey" these days as you never know who you're talking about

Accidental or no, we need to kick racism out of football threads

FIFA president and nutjob, Gianni Infantino, says women have the power to convince him!

I think that means that he's not convinced, and if he remains unconvinced it's entirely women's fault for failing to convince him!

We humans are all Apes, as are gorillas and chimpanzees and orang-utans.
Making a distinction between groups of humans just makes me collapse with mirth and/or despair.
Culture is way, way more divisive and relevent than any trivial genetic differences. Culture is a choice.

I don't know who coined the name "suspend monkey" but I think it got its name because he's doing the job no better than you could train a monkey to do.

Jasper Carrott was right when he said normal people (as well as buying shampoo for normal hair) are all mass murders. 40 years on and people are still talking about how normal the lastest one looks!

WTF do you expect a mass murderer to look like?

Folded flatbread. Do they really think we can't fold the flatbread in half ourselves if we want it folded?

There's an excellent series running on TV about serial killers and their attributes, including race, gender, family history, appearance, intellect etc. According to the FBI, most widely held beliefs about them are myths.

People only know what media and popular culture feeds them.

I've lost count of how many series I've watched on the Sky channel, of Britain's Most Evil Killers and The World's Most Evil Killers (the latter could easily be renamed America's Most Evil Killers, they're like British killers on steroids ) but I think we've got enough material for a couple more series.

I must admit though, when a woman does evil things, it's a bit of a shock when you find they're attractive, a woman you'd ask out under different circumstances. It's the last thing I'd expect!

Tomorrow could be the last time the mercury hits 25 this year. What a bummer of a summer!

[Derek27]

Not the cloud-free sky I was expecting and with the wind I'm in danger of losing the odd can or two!

[Derek27]

I didn't take a day off trading to sit under these clouds. Never mind, in only the time it takes to have a flipping baby, nice weather may return.

I think it's time the WAC either scraps the triple jump or introduces a double jump, quadruple jump, and perhaps a 100-metre sprint with a jump at the finish!
