      Again, sounds better than it really is
      For one thing the sun is so bright I can barely see the screen and secondly beers in the afternoon means I'll probably need a snooze at 5 when I finish

        All sounds quite uncomfortable and ungainly to me.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              Having your bank completely close down transaction processing at midnight on Easter Thursday and not open it up until Tuesday morning.

              Money that went in on Thursday should have been available for Friday morning but wasn't seen until Tuesday.
              Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

                  I talked nicely to my agent who put through my invoice a day early so I got it on the Thursday instead of the usual Friday

                    Nope. A Foreign bank.

                    The brass is normally available the day it goes in, but this time it wasn't.

                    At least they gave it the right transaction date, so what little interest they pay will be correct.

                      you mean, as if the Bank was on some kind of Holiday for those days?
