    How low can people go? Jeez dude that's all kinds of wrong.

    I think honour, loyalty and decency must have been words removed from the last dictionary updates.

    Was this a private individual? If so this is going to cause them a lot of problems and a lot of extra costs. :grin:

    I've been deeply involved with people in care for the elderly over the last few years and the kindness, attentiveness and general goodness I've experienced have been mind-blowing. Then you turn to the rest of society and most people are bloody arseholes in comparison. Seems like "helping a person without getting anything for it? Why would you do that"... Thinking about leaving Germany for good and that's one of the main reasons.

    I'm usually not the person to get down because of other people's behaviour, but this development is demoralising at best, crushing most often, and soul-destroying at worst.

    This... my wife had her bank account closed because the bank "didn't want to be associated with bankrupts" (their words).

    They did it purely for the problems and extra costs it'd inflict on me, to them the personal hit is a price worth paying for ****ing me over...

    ****ed up my beard trim pre wedding tomorrow. Managed to salvage some facial hair so I don't look like a fat baby, but I still look like a pleb. To me anyway. Just resisted smashing the bathroom to bits. Really at breaking point.

    I expect no-one else will notice, you're not the star of the show and likely your clobber will have them blinded before they ever catch sight of your face.

    All the best for your big day :thumb:

    It's not my wedding so I'm probably 2nd row chorus. :hehe: just hate how I look without a good bit of hedge hiding my deranged smile. Now what I have is neither beard nor stubble. It's bubble. Oh to be young and beautiful again :sigh:

    Right now I'm furious with Outlook etc. that thinks when I'm highlighting things I'd like to select full words, sentences and daft spaces on the end of lines.

    Impossible that when I put the cursor half way through a word it's because those are the characters that I would like to select.

    ...no way?

    I know how to fix it in Word but in Outlook I thought it wasn't possible. I'm stoked to try this at work on Monday!

    A word of caution, it reduces the silliness, it doesn't fit it.

    Glad I could help you Sally.
