If they are anything like the ones here then you need to get to them the second they get put out, otherwise it's like chewing a squash ball."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife. -

The Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow. Thanks to a tweet by the Met Office earlier in the week, I learned that day and night aren't actually equal length then, at least in the UK: The Equinox and Solstice - Met OfficeOriginally posted by barrydidit View PostTis grey but dry in the midlands. Nothing of interest to report weather-wise. Isn't today supposed to be the autumnal Equinox? Equal length days and nights? The start of autumn by that measure? Well, there's a 10 minute difference here according to the bbc app. I assume it's measured from London, which accounts for the difference. Serves 'em right, autumn can wait, i'll stick with late summer for another week

Ah. Thanks.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThe Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow. Thanks to a tweet by the Met Office earlier in the week, I learned that day and night aren't actually equal length then, at least in the UK: The Equinox and Solstice - Met Office
And a new word for my lexicon.The equilux is when day and night are equal and occurs a few days before the spring equinox, and a few days after the autumn equinox.

So client co. IT is buggered. All users with surnames beginning with a random selection of about half the letters in the alphabet are effectively unable to work due to unspecified "issues" affecting MS products including Outlook, Word, Excel etc. including Office 365 instances.
