Mmmm.... I guess that now may be a good time to come clean. We are not human at all. Rather the NP are very adept rhesus monkeys and are already part of an experiment on forum psychology to see whether - through our virtual IDs - we can get other humanoids to come out to play. When we are not here our human masters have taught us to trade bitcoins.

We're all sleep-deprived hallucinogen-stuffed apes in an experimental facility on the Gibraltar/Spain border. Somebody left their key in the door (what are humans like :rotfl:) naturally we got out and took over the area and the British and Spanish human authorities have manufactured a cover-story to keep everybody out of the way. :eek:

Good, on both fronts.

Hope you now get time to relax.

I get confused by doctors because once they get sufficiently senior they seem to start calling themselves "Mr" again.

I got an email from an estate agent who had LLB in his signature the other day. It did not increase my opinion of him!

Anyone who lists their qualifications in correspondence should be given a firm slap.

Other annoying things in email signatures:

Patronising messages reminding me not to print the email out in order to save the world.

Writing your full name but inserting your middle initial. Chew M. Legoff. Even worse: C. My Legoff Jnr.

Not capitalising your the first letters of your name (I have a friend whose company "style" was not to use capitals at all, thankfully he has left).

Worst of all is using a whole rainbow of colours, especially light greens or yellows which I can hardly read on a white background.

Sorry, couldn't resist

I like it a lot!

An old fave mixed with a current fave and done really well, vids don't come much better than that.

DH liked it a lot too. Though now he wants a see through Strat to add to the one he's already got and the Les Paul. He hasn't even learned to play yet (more money than sense)...

Speak for yourself, I am a next generation spambot.

I follow my Dad's prejudices in relation to qualifications - anyone who puts his qualifications in random emails / letters / etc is an idiot, and only a medical doctor should call himself "Dr. Smith" or whatever, except in purely professional matters where it is justified. I also agree with him that Captain John Smith (ret'd) is a sure sign of someone you wouldn't want to get stuck with in a lift.

I used to feel like that. Once I became Dr, I used it at work but not anywhere else. (Teachers, of course, are still called by their title and surname all day every day, unlike people in most grown-up jobs.) Then when LNE left I became uncomfortable with Mrs, so now I use Dr all the time. I usually make a throwaway comment about why, though, so as not to seem pretentious.

Oh, and in other news

Rip to Bombay duck doughnut ( bombolone) the feral cat who looked like part snowshoe cat part beaver. She was found this week in by next door farmer in his straw barn having died sometime this summer.

Sorry to hear that. Hugs.

Actually I have a fantastic pen that rights in marble colours, I love it, even though I realise its target audience is ten year old girls. I will not give it up till it dies.

This is why you get on with DD so well.
