A first time poster gets an insulting comment like that and it's ok because they like winding people up? It's hardly likely to encourage new posters is it?

Try reading my post again - this time a little more carefully.

I did NOT say it's your fault; I did NOT say his insulting comments are OK. All I was pointing out was that he likes winding people up, so getting yourself wound up about it just encourages him. And now getting yourself wound up over my comments probably makes him even happier.

OK . send me the bank account details. I'll donate it.

Very decent of you. Fair play.

It's worth the £30 just to stop hearing people whine about how unfair life is, and the banks are evil yadda yadda yadda

Well I'm not whinging or saying they are evil.
But if someone made a mistake in a professional capacity, then they should put it right.
It's as simple as that.

Where do you get your imagination from? :rotfl: I couldn't have come up with all that if I'd tried

It's not too difficult.

I am by nature cynical and have spent too many years in a career surrounded by 'backstabbers, office-politicians, money-grabbers, fraudsters, thicko's....'. Eventually, you learn to trust your own judgement, keep out of all the 'flack' and simply observe human behaviour.

There is nothing so humerous as 'real life'.

You may be familiar with the type of personality that is, on the exterior, all 'bubbles', 'fun', 'jokes', and 'life and soul of the party', but underneath and privately is sad, miserable, and deeply troubled.

I am proud to be something of the flip side of this. Miserable, grumpy, and dour on the surface. But underneath, I am absolutely and perfectly happy in my 'misery', can see the funny side of almost everything, and perfectly 'at one' with life [governments excepted].

If I knew where you worked, I could probably get you into trouble!
