I've just posted to a Moronsoft support forum to thank a guy for a fix, and found my post labelled with my full name, so had to delete it!

Tonight's menu: Brazilian Sao Paulo Youth Cup!
I take back everything I thought about Brazilian Sao Paulo Youth Cup - great fun trading despite the liquidity. :D

Pressed the remove suspended markets button ... at the precise time a market was suspended. :x

100s of people wrongly convicted, sent to prison, forced to pay back money they didn't owe, bankrupt, humiliated, and some driven to suicide. The former Post Office CEO has her CBE revoked - justice done!!

Perhaps the priest that blessed her when she was a child should withdraw his blessing for good measure. :lol:

would you back or lay Ed Davey resigning? Apparently he has in the past called for 31 people in public office to resign, now it's his turn to call on himself!

Andrew Pierce's article last September exposes how deep Davey is involved. (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/columnists/ ... fraud.html)

In 2019 The Post Office hired Herbert Smith Freehills (a 'blue chip' City firm) to fight its corner in defending postmaster claims against The Post Office. Nothing wrong with that except that Davey was himself retained by HSF as a 'consultant' with a retainer of £5,000 per month (for which it is claimed he only worked for 6 hours per month!). He held that position until Jan 2020 pocketing some £275,000!

Lib Dem involvement did not end there. Ed davey reported to Vince Cable as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and Jo Swinson, his predecessor as Lib Dem leader, took over the overview of the Post Office in 2012, and served for almost three years.

No I wouldn't, Moronsoft. Have you not noticed I trade Australian A-Men? You shouldn't even be watching what I'm doing!

So you didn't update the active hours ?

If so that would mean it CAN restart during those hours or does watching Aus stuff turn everything upside down ?

No, on any Pro edition you can use group policies to completely disable automatic updates. If you use Home, you can only set active hours to a maximum of 18 (used to be 12).

I'd like to see a car manufacture try to sell a car that you can only use for a chosen 18 hours a day, and have to leave your keys in the ignition so their technicians can come around and service it in the remaining six hours!

At a good guess cost, it's not cheap to show live sports and broadcasting rights continue to rise especially football.

Two cats have started crapping in my garden. They won't use the area I've dug up for vegetables because my own cat uses it, so they find patches of bare lawn and do their business there. :x :x
