I used to enjoy abusing the suspend monkey but Shaun's ruined it by telling me he doesn't exist. :(

:D. I respect your right to believe they exist. I won't be building a bonfire of your writings so long as you agree you won't try to force everyone else to be a believer too.

..... I'll probably find out I was wrong anyway, instead of using data providers we'll find it's actually a troupe of monkeys, all supported by four elephants standing on the back of a turtle. ;) (I've offended Hindus now as well as the Simianites :roll:)

True, But compared to office life it feels like 365 bank holidays :)

It's just all a bit rubbish for anyone trying to organise anything that needs half decent weather. And I blame our lack of opportunity for random outdoor socialising for making us a fairly insular nation. In so many other places with guarenteed weather people are out and about mixing with each other and being "sociable".

You are beyond help Derek, so if I post this gif of a human person working on his laptop I bet in your mind all you would see is a funny monkey gif

Exactly greenmark, that just proves my point, we don't see a monkey at all, just Bob

Easiest to just say, "pls raise this with the trading team... " and then paste a pre prepared explanation. Tbh they're happy to just pass it off.

It got sorted an hour afterwards and I got an email confirming the amended result with an email/phone of the priority trading team so at least that's something.

But the Live Chat guys have just no idea what you're on about, you literally have to spell it out otherwise they've no idea (I sound like Derek now) :lol:

Breakfast cereals, low-fat yogurts, protein bars, supermarket soups, supermarket sandwiches are now classified as ultra-processed foods and could be worse for you than smoking!

There'll soon come a point when even the most health-conscientious eaters will say fuck it, it's not worth the bother.

My automation wasn't working last night. I was too tired to fix it so I went to bed and didn't bother making a note of what the problem was!
